Post Is it really possible to be normal??

I was just wondering...after a lifetime of being seriously overweight, is it even really possible to be normal? I was doing some thinking about my weight issues and while I desperately want to be thin or at least "normal", I'm also very afraid. I'm sorta comfortable being uncomfortable. Does anybody else feel this way or even understand? Am I just crazy?
Then I think that if I am at some time successful and I hit and maintain goal, I'm going to have all this skin hanging with no hope of ever having plastic surgery and so is there really a point?
Don't think I'm going to use this as an excuse to cheat, I'm not; I'm completely serious and motivated to succeed this time, I just don't want my hang ups from the past sabotage me again. I guess I have some serious demons just like some others, I hope.
Thanks.
