Weight loss and cockiness

Re: Weight loss and cockiness

Until I have a body like a supermodel (which will never happen) I will happily be confident but by no means cocky.

For me so far it isn't cocky as it is self confidence. I am in control. I am steering the ship. And self confidence makes us stand taller and meet other folks gazes more readily. I am learning about my self-worth and that is a better by product of this WOE than the weight loss. IMHO

The cockyness really becomes a problem with maitnence/pre-maitnence. It's really a struggle years later not to think "Oh, I'm not fat anymore, I can eat that!" Because it's like being an alcoholic. Once fat, always fat. It's always in there somewhere, trying to sneak back out!
