As a man weight loss is much more impersonal. I don't want to generalize but I feel confident saying this. The only people who might possibly shit on you are some close friends (often in a joking way) and maybe your significant other (out of insecurity of being left behind or because you can't partake in bad eating habits as often)
But I was speaking to some female friends about weight loss and it sounds like the experience is very different. One of my friends said that some co-workers and acquaintances became completely cold towards her although zero negative interactions had taken place between them. Another friend said middle aged women were the worst about it, especially if they had their own weight issues or their own appearance insecurities, but that other women who were fairly attractive were complimentary or neutral as long as they weren't too close. They all agreed that generally, most close friends all felt some way about it and were rarely complimentary/supportive unless forced to be in a group setting, or they made efforts at sabotage.
I'm curious what your experiences are regarding weight loss and how common do you think it is to deal with negative reactions from losing weight?
