I'm terrified of who I'll become if I lose more weight.

I'm not sure if this post is even going to make any sense but hopefully, someone out there can relate to me on some level.

I've been extremely overweight my whole life, to the point where it feels like it's become part of my identity. I hate being overweight but I also feel comfortable with it in a way, it's really all I know. In my mind, I can't even imagine a world where I don't weigh more than my family and friends.

Anyways, to get to the point, I've been losing weight recently and people are starting to notice. Friends have told me 'you're getting skinny!' or 'wow you've lost weight!' and it makes me so uncomfortable because I've never heard anyone say that to me before.

I'm so scared of being a healthy weight. I know how crazy this sounds but it just feels like I won't even be myself anymore and I know people will treat me differently. Does anyone else feel like this? How do you overcome this fear?
