so scared of gaining weight back

I just wanted to know if any of you guys grew up heavy then lost alot of weight later in life and are terrified of being that chubby girl again?

I didn't grow up heavy, I was actually thin until I hit puberty & then I was average but since my 20's have gone up/down....currently on the down, but last Jan. I was at my heaviest ever. It's a struggle for me b/c I truly enjoy eating & love my sweets.

I was tiny as a kid.....pretty much a miniature person. Once I hit college, I started to gainweight for the first time in my life, and I didn't know what to do about it. I finally lost about 40 pounds and was close to being content with my weight when I got married two years ago....but since the wedding I've gained it all back....with extra...and am now trying to focus on losing it again.
I am terrified that if I lose it, it will all come back again one day....constant struggle!

its going to be for me but its that fear that keeps me on track

I didn't grow up super heavy, but I was never a skinny kid! In college I gained 30 lbs and was actually heavy. Now I'm pretty much normal weight, but maybe 5 lbs over what I should be. I'm not scared because I know that I feel so much better at this weight. It's my motivation. I'm happy feeling confident in my clothes. I'm happy that I can do aerobics and not get so drained like I used to. Yes, it's constant work to maintain the weight I am, but I'm so used to eating healthy that day to day living shouldn't make me gain weight. It's when I go on my HM or get pregnant that may cause me trouble. But, once things get back to normal, I expect that I'll be able to just pick up where I left off, and if I need help, there's always weight watchers.

I didn't grow up heavy but by the time I was 22 I was 250lbs. I had some kind of revalation one day and lost about 150, I wasn't healthy there for awhile and gained some back due to doctor recommendation. I weigh a healthy 120 now, but it's now 7years after the initial loss. Yes I have nightmares about gaining it back, I am very neurotic about my weight and excersize and food.
If I gain 5 lbs I flip out.
