I'll chime in with the "if it makes you feel better about yourself, do it" thing.

However! I'm also going to add this: even if you lose as much weight as you want, don't put all your hopes on it changing how you feel about yourself. I've lost 95 pounds in the last 18 months (all me, no surgery or pills, thank you) so that I am down to 110, which is right in the middle of the healthy weight range for my height. But what no one knew to warn me about was how horribly hard it can be as you're going down, not from a work perspective, but from a "this isn't real" perspective. One week, your jeans are so huge they fall off you when you walk and you're feeling awesome about it, so you buy a smaller pair, which only has your body looking like it did twenty pounds ago while it tries to be in smaller, tighter pants. I spent an awful lot of time seeing myself at my top weight, even forty-fifty-sixty pounds down, because things still sat in the same places, just smaller. I still do. Logically, the numbers on the scale tell me I did it. I can see it in pictures. I can tell by the clothes I simply cannot wear. I can feel my body and know I did it. But to look in the mirror? Hell, no. I'm still way up there. So know that if you do lose the weight, it won't solve how you see yourself. Losing weight isn't the work you'll have to do there. Seeing yourself as who you are, that'll be the harder part.

Either way, good luck.

This is an interesting perspective, because I haven't found that I see myself the same 60lbs down. There was a while there where I didn't even recognize myself because I looked so thin. I looked in the mirror and saw (and felt like) like a different person. I still have about 50 lbs to go and I'm looking forward to meeting my goal and seeing how I feel then.

I'll admit, at least part of it, for me, is breast size. I started out a 38J. Even when I was in high school, I was huge. Even though I wore a size 6 pants, I had to buy size 14 dresses and try to have them fitted. It skewed things. But yeah, it's different for everyone. I totally get that. I just wish someone would've told me that. It was just assumed I'd be seeing the loss. It's taken a long time for my eyes to catch up.

Great job, by the way! Yay 60! Keep it up!

This.

I regret returning to as fat as I am now, but I honestly felt fattest, and hated myself the most, when I went down to the lowest weight. By that stage, I had nothing left in my life but the the reminder that I looked every bit as fat as I always did, but now my life was about controlling my weight.
