People Have Started To Treat Me Differently

By Randi

· 618 views

So I am down about 52 pounds after 3 1/2 months. Down from a 22/24 to a size 18W. I think it's amazing how people everywhere are treating me differently. Maybe it's me who is so much happier and that brings positive feedback, I don't know. People at work, stores, everywhere - I can't believe it. Are any of ya'll experiencing this?

    Absolutely!! I do feel a bit more outgoing so I think your theory may be right about the positive feedback. Just try and remember that positive feedback when you get the negative...it will happen. The world is full of negative nancies.

    I find it funny you wrote this...I just came home from a little corner store. I was the only woman in there and you would have thought I walked in with out any clothes on. The men were acting like teenage boys...lol....I actually laughed out loud at one of them. It's crazy experiencing this...I can't wait to see what happens when I get to a size 10...LOL
