Weight loss bringing back trauma

Hi guys. I’m new to this subreddit and I’ve successfully lost 30 lbs. I was severely overweight and it was causing a lot of health problems for me. The weight loss has definitely improved my quality of life and I only have 39 lbs left to get to my goal weight. However, when I started to see the changes in the mirror and seeing myself get smaller, its scaring me a little bit. I have a lot of trauma from my teenage years where I felt small, controlled, manipulated, and vulnerable. I think subconsciously I gained so much weight because eating and getting bigger protected me from my trauma. I know these feelings will get better with time and I am seeking out a therapist to talk through these things with me, I just wanted to rant about it a bit. Has anyone else felt this way?
