How do you view overweight people now that your thin?

I was watching some you tube videos and came across a young man that lost all the weight. He was talking about that now that he is thin he would never date anyone that was overweight because he was not looking at going back to where he was an an overweight person would only drag him down. Now i am not thin My journey just started however if i were ever to get thin i would hope that i dont turn into some of the people that make fun of me now. However i also see his point of view only about the being healthy. What do you guys think do our minds really change that much that we forget who we once were? Or is it all in oneself?

    I don't judge people physically. It is a person's character that defines them to me. If the overweight person is struggling with weight related issues, then I view them with empathy.

If they don't want to change its fine .. I'm just saying healthier like I want them to stay around longer healthier.... bit if they don't I'll love them till the end anyway

progress starts in the mind

Nothing but compassion for people that have weight issues. I have walk in the shoes of an obese person. I never want to lose that perspective in life.

It would turn me away from WLS if someone came up to me preaching how I need to do this. Most people don't want weight loss advice.....Especially from a bariatric patient.
