I just want to make an observation in a forum where I know others will have experienced something similar. Since losing a lot of weight over the last several months, I have noticed people (mostly men) acknowledge me and speak to me more. I'm not saying that it's people that I see every day or that I know, just random people I pass by in the halls at work, or in parking lots, or at the store, or the gym. They actually look at me, say hello, smile, etc. It's new to me, and I am just amazed that it happens so often. I'm sure it's a mix of my weight loss and my confidence returning that makes me stand out more, but it makes me kind of sad that I was deprived of this friendliness for so long because of my weight!

This is going to be controversial but I have to be honest. People get angry that people are not attracted to bigger people I'm not offended. I'm 180 and still considered fat and many people wouldn't look at me. It doesn't mean they don't respect bigger people but you can't help what you are attracted to. I've never been attracted to a 500lbs person. No judgement . I will always show everyone the same respect. But that isn't for me. Were as it is for others. Many things about me people do not feel is for them. And it's okay there is someone for everyone. But I don't judge those who are not into someone my size.
