Anxiety ABOUT weight loss?

I'm (F31) starting my weight loss journey again and am about 15 lbs down with a goal to lose about 120 lbs total. I've noticed in the past that whenever I lose around 15-20 lbs I begin getting anxious that my weight loss is a sign of illness. The thing is, I KNOW I've been eating healthier and eating less. I know, logically, that I'm in a caloric deficit most days and that explains the weight loss. But without fail every time I lose this much, I begin getting this anxiety that I'm losing weight because I have some terrible illness, and I end up getting so stressed out that I gain it all back.

I'm worried that it's going to happen again this time. I'm already beginning to feel that anxiety creeping back up, and it will just get worse and worse as I lose more. Does anyone else experience the same thing? Any advice?

(All therapists covered by my insurance in my area have super long wait lists, which is why I'm turning to Reddit instead.)
