If you are in crisis, contact a local emergency or crisis service rather than posting. A volunteer forum cannot help and waiting costs time.

If anyone has run this properly I would rather read that than my own guess.

This follows post #60 rather than contradicting it.

Social and relationship impacts: weight change affects how others perceive and interact with a person. Those impacts are real and can be psychologically significant.

Not a conclusion. A place to stand while looking for one.

Support and community: some people process weight change through community (online or in-person). Others prefer privacy. Knowing what you need and seeking it proactively helps.

a.ibarra, post #31: Where a member is finding this hard, the useful reply is usually a question rather than an answer, and this subcategory does that well. That is all I can say without guessing. Go to post

Adding a note of thanks rather than an opinion. I did not know most of that.

Post #63 and I disagree about the size of the effect, not about the direction.

Nothing here is medical advice and several members in this subcategory say plainly that they are describing their own experience only.

Noting that the question and the thing people usually mean by it are different.

Collapsed as off-topic by two members at trust level 3 or above

Taking post #63 at face value and following it one step further.

Motivation and expectation: starting with clear motivation and realistic expectations about what will happen and when helps with psychological adjustment.

That is what I would do. It may not be what is correct.
