For reference, I restarted my fitness journey around the end of May/first week of June of this year. Since then, I’ve transitioned from a sedentary lifestyle to a more active lifestyle, and completely changed my eating habits as I continue to navigate things in this crazy journey of mine.
Moreover, I went to get my eyebrows done earlier today and experienced both positive and negative comments regarding my recent weight loss. I’ve been a regular customer at this salon for about 5+ years now, so I’m pretty comfortable with the women who thread there, but there are two specific women I always go to, more-so this one woman who does them perfectly. ANYWAYS, so the one woman, we’ll call her R, she asks how much weight I’ve lost, since it’s been about a month or two since she’s seen me and the weight loss was noticeable (she was complimenting me, asking me how I did it, etc.). I told her I’ve lost 35 pounds now since June, and she and the other woman, we’ll call her W, were super shocked. W made a snarky ass comment saying, “Oh just a little bit more would be perfect.” R kind of defends me, saying that I’ve lost a good amount of weight in these past few months and that it’s fine. R and I continue talking and I heard W make another comment kind of reinstating her belief again, that I would look perfect if it was just a few more. I told W that I’ve worked super hard the past few months and even if I do need to lose a little more, I’m more so proud of myself for how much I’ve done. She silently agreed and R and I spoke a bit before I left.
It’s just insane because like this woman and I have known each other for years and like she’s made comments before about other things with me (I’m South Asian and the women there are too, they’re kind of like my aunties like culturally so I don’t usually comment back/it’s minor appearance comments), I usually can get past it and it’s not normally weight related. It’s just irritating I guess.
So have you guys noticed I guess, “bitter” comments from people as you’ve continued to lose weight? Let me know!
