I saw a comment about a month ago (i spent like an hour looking for it to no avail ðŸ˜) that said it’s hard going from obese to overweight because you no longer see yourself as just “fat”- you see yourself as an overweight thin person. I know that may not make sense- they said it WAY better than me. But I know what they mean.
To other people who don’t know you, you’re just overweight- someone who could lose weight but chooses not to. Someone who is lazy and just content with being overweight. But when you’re obese, I think people just see it as someone who is just fat. It’s a weird in between to be in. You’re at the far end of clothing shopping. You’re almost to being “skinny” but you’re not. Being overweight is like being an “almost” if that makes any sense.
To other people, I sometimes feel I look lazy just because I am now overweight. But what they don’t know is that I’m a 17 year old who worked her ass off to lose 60 pounds!!
A coworker the other day also said some kind of harsh things to me that got to me. She’s new at work, and is a personal trainer. She first congratulated me on my weight loss and then questions how I did it. She criticized me for not focusing on macros, saying that counting calories was kind of a waste of time. She said “so do you watch what you eat, what you put into your body?”. I told her I focus on getting around 70-80 grams of protein and a good amount of fats, but I mainly count calories. she says to me, “did you take any classes on this because it sounds like you know a lot about this subject”.
Mcscuse me bitch?? I worked my ass off to get here. It really hurt to be honest. I felt like everything I did wasn’t good enough. I’m not “skinny” or “fit-looking” enough yet. I felt like I did stuff wrong, and that what I did wear inadequate. It sucked. She’s 28 too! It felt like a bully said it to me.
Anyways, rant over. Weight loss can be so mentally exhausting some days.
