26 F - 5’5 - SW: 218 - CW: 114
i’ve heard of this being a thing, but i have been first hand experiencing this and wondering about other people experiences with this. back when i was almost 220, i was barely talked to or looked at. I had only a couple of friends and the friends i did have, were tinier than me and had friends that would make fun of me for my weight. I always used to like to cover my body and wear hoodies during summer, so I was also judged for that.
I always used to tell my bf “when i lose the weight, it’s over for these b*tches”. I have since LOST that weight and more!
I barely recognize myself sometimes. In my head mentally, I still look down and expect to be 200 pounds still. But I am not. I am super happy about my journey and progress, but an unsettling thing I’ve noticed is how different I am treated now. People didn’t notice my weight loss right away. Like I said, I used to wear hoodies and cover up. They noticed when I got to 150, it was summer and I stopped covering up. Everybody was asking me how I did it, congratulating me, asking me what I took (this one in particular always bothered me) or even assumed I was sick. But people started talking to me more, I got more noticed and people always offer to help me out with things, they try to make my life easier and it’s just an odd experience overall. People I never talked to at work even noticed and were talking to me. I felt scared to be around people before, to take up too much space, but I don’t anymore. People make space for me now, and it makes me sad how when I was bigger, I wasn’t treated as kindly.
If you also have any experience with this, comment it! I am interested in reading about your experience and journey.
