When you're overweight people tend to respond to you different then they do when you're thin. For some reason we all have are

I guess it's all part of a stigma people who are over weight have. The first thing thin people think when they look at us think, is oh, that person has not self control. They must be lazy because if they worked out, they would not be so big. When the truth of it is not always the case. I'm not lazy, and last summer the bf and I walked at least five miles a day on our trips to Chicago. But it seems people have their thoughts regardless of their knowledge of it. It's sad really, because I never, when I was super thin and active I still never thought anything about the weight of the person I was talking to. Looks never mattered to me. It's a sad thing really, because people do that to very thin people as well. They think they don't eat or they are anorexic.

So true Alisa, I was just having this conversation the other day. I even notice now that people at work treat me differently; nothing has changed besides my size and all of a sudden higher ups who never considered me as an important part of my office now treat me with so much more respect! It's very sad how superficial the world is.

So sad because we're the same person inside and out. I'm sure we all have crushes and people we would've liked to been with before we lost weight but the end of the day if you didn't except me then you're not now! Wait a something that doesn't really matter because if that wasn't the case we wouldn't be getting weight-loss surgery so I can understand if you have preferences and whatever but it's just a sad situation.

I've also noticed that people seem a lot friendlier since I have become less offensive to their eyes.

Hi Mami,

I'm sure you will have everyone hitting on you. I can't imagine what it will be like to not have big breast anymore. I'm so use to using them to get stuff!!! But they ate taxing on my back.

I'll take some if you're giving it away! The only thing I liked about being big, was having boobs! Now the girls are gone! If I could just move some things around, I would have a tiny waist and the chest of a woman again and not look like I need a training bra!

I know right! People are so much friendlier...I still have 65 more lbs to go. I've always wondered how life would be if I wasn't fat...I knew that skinny had its privileges! Lol! Well I'm still overweight just not morbidly overweight anymore....but most definitely on the road to non fat status! Lol

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
