Hey, y'all! GG here with my first post on loseit.
I've lost 42 pounds so far (over 2 years) and am at the point where the change in my physicality is noticeable. I've gone down about 3 pants/dress sizes and all in all my body is more condensed. I'm still in the process of losing weight (trying to hit 100+ lost in total to mitigate some health issues related to my hips- they pop out of socket and subsequently throw my back out to the point where I can't walk. My physician and chiropractor have suggested massive weight loss as preventative measure to maintain my mobility).
I've started to notice that although nothing outside of my weight has changed (still the same loud and opinionated gal), I am being treated differently by people. Not my friends or family, but generally out in the world folks. Cashiers and grocery clerks are WAY nicer to me, men are kinder and go out of their way to offer assistance (opening doors, offering to carry things), and I generally am just given more respect on a day to day basis from other humans. It is an absolute TRIP to say the least.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how do you deal with the knowledge that people judge you more positively simply for being smaller? I know my worth is not determined by my size, but it is still a pretty hard pill to swallow when confronted with this behavior from the public.
