I hate to say this but you can't really hold everyone responsible for their lameness because OUR WHOLE SOCIETY INCLUDING YOU are weight conscious, it's ingrained in everyone's psychy and heavily reinforced by the media on a minute by minute basis. I swear I'm not trying to sound harsh at all. I'm just saying that check in with your feelings and be very gentle with yourself. Watch out for wanting too much approval from other people and soothe and help yourself because in the end it's all we've got. People are going to definitely act differently when you lose because OUR SOCIETY HAS A VERY SICK PROBLEM AND THAT IS >>FAT PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST AND IT'S ACCEPTED BY SOCIETY. I know from experience. I used to be stick thin and I had 1,000 "friends" and when I gained 70 pounds, all and I mean ALL of these "friends" would no longer even talk to me or they'd act like I was in a circus cage behind bars to be stared at with a weird look on their face. I literally even had people actively not talk to me or ignore me when they saw me at the grocery store or on the street. At first it was absolutely devastating, but I realized that I have to soothe myself and not constantly seek approval or seek disapproval (yes I began looking for how people were shitty to me to "prove" that people were shitty) from others. It's up to you to learn to enjoy who you are at any stage and to support yourself. I'm in a situation where I have no family to support and love me - barely. My whole family (I had 4 brothers and sisters) fell apart when my parents died, everyone started fighting over money when others died or they went off the deep end w sub abuse, so I've had to learn to get along in life alone and to enjoy myself and choose who I hang out with. That's the power you have is to choose your own people you're with, you don't have to be around anyone you don't want to. If it was me, tho I'd give them a pass, because "they know not what they do" They, along with you me and everyone else unfortunately have been brainwashed to warship thin beautiful people by the media. It's not ok, but it's the way it is. It's even biological to seek out beauty, for survival. I know, it's weird but true. You can't change that about them or anyone else, you can only change what you choose to focus on and how you choose to react to it. You can practice only looking at positive things about everyone around you and accepting yourself and everyone else. It'll only help your journey to begin to feel better and not depressed. Life is short, learn to soothe yourself and choose what you focus on. Negative things or positive things. Take care of yourself.
