I've noticed that people assume all kinds of things about me now. I've mentioned needing to walk to a place because I have walked long distance in a few days, and people assume it's specifically for lossing more weight.

I have to explain the benefits of walking beyond weight loss for anyone to be satisfied with my reasons. So disturbing.

People constantly tell me now that I don't need to lose more weight. Many don't know I had WLS and must be thinking I'm trying really hard. I'm not.

I think people assume I have a new found eating disorder. Not present.

Debatable but i'm not specifically actively trying for more weight loss (fat loss, muscle growth yes), I'm just letting my body find it's range. I comfortable where I am, I can stay here or go lower ,my body will pick but I'm not making an effort to stop lossing either.

I think people are obsessed with my weight loss and think I am also. I'm not. It's so weird, it's all anyone around me wants to talk about.

What assumptions have you found/do you believe are being made about you? Are they spot on or way off?

I just realized the #1 assumption that ticks me off. The assumption that others are entitled to voice an opinion on my weight. They're entitled to the opinion, just don't assume that I want to hear it or will feel any need to act upon it.
