Hi I’m (20f) newer to Reddit so if there’s a better place to post the query please let me know!
Basically from May of 2018 to September 2018 I lost a significant amount of weight. For reference I was 172lbs at my heaviest and have now plateaued at 138. I am 5’3 and would consider myself to be on the curvier side. I always thought I could lose a few lbs but never considered myself to be chubby even and was generally confident.
I was in a foreign country for a month and a half and lost about 15 lbs by accident (illness/anxiety) but decided to ensure I kept the weight off I drastically changed my eating habits (I was a serial snacker) and sort of intermittent fast but am not that strict. I would still like to lose a couple more lbs for my own sanity but can’t complain very much without sounding obnoxious.
All this aside I have a really hard time accepting some comments people have made post weight loss and am wondering how other people deal with it. I always feel a little embarrassed and uncomfortable and think about the fact that all these people used to think I was chubby enough to comment on my change in appearance.
Some comments made have been “wow you look half your size”- friend’s dad. “You look so much happier now that you’re more confident in your body now I can tell”- family friend and other comments like this. I also have noticed a tangible difference in the way I’m treated (by guys, customer service, teachers etc.)
This has now turned into me fearing reaction if I manage to keep off this weight. My weight has always fluctuated and I’m nervous for my mental health if I do gain the weight back.
So TL:DR I accidentally (then on purpose) lost weight and am having trouble dealing with some uncomfortable comments and the emotions that come with it.
Any advice or support appreciated also sorry again if this should be in a different sub!
