So over the judgments

[Anonymous]

Maybe you don't look as good as you seem to think. OP.

They might actually be worried though. It’s unusual to go from obese to thin/low end of healthy BMI in a year or less

Wtf is wrong with people that they feel free to make comments about my weight? It’s like the body positivity movement only applies if you’re fat. I hate it.

Try being 6'1 145lbs for a man. I can write a book about all comments I have gotten from women mostly. What is it with women being so judgemental on us skinny men lol? I can break you, do you eat, omg you are so skinny, eat more food and on and lol...

The men on the other hand hardly ever comment on my body.

And I walk between 12-15k steps per day. On weekends I go out to eat 1-2 times and eat whatever I want. If I want something less healthy during the week I sometimes have it but try to stick with a reasonable portion. I’ve overhauled my lifestyle which is why it’s working. No fad diets. I eat three meals a day and sometimes a snack in the afternoons.

Whoa I did the same this year and gained 8lbs 😂
I eat 2 meals per day.

We are only hearing one side of the story so nothing we can say here. Either you have an eating disorder as your friends and family claim, or you do not, as you claim. There is no way for us to know. We can give you a there there poor thing everyone is being so mean to you.

It’s OP’s fault that you’re fat, I see.

You need to buy new clothes. I find the W and O weight lost with their old clothes make them look like they have cancer... even if it is a healthy weight.

I have bought new clothes! Definitely the most fun part of the weight loss.

They could be jealous, or you could be anorexic. Impossible to know without your stats.

This is an ignorant comment. There is no way for an outsider to determine if someone is anorexic based on their stats.

People can't stand it when other people make healthy choices.

+1. They are jealous, OP, because what you did takes a tremendous amount of personal resolve and self-discipline. These people may not need to lose the amount of weight that you did, but they are envious of your accomplishment nonetheless, as they know they would have a hard time pulling that off in any arena.

Congratulations!

Congrats on your success, OP.
Sometimes the comments are jealous, usually they are trying to be nice but make it weird. It will stop after a time.

"Don't comment on other people's bodies" is a thing people teach their kids now, but most older generations (including mine) didn't get the memo.

I really like, "It's 2025. Can we just stop commenting on other people's bodies?" "it's 2025. We don't comment on people's bodies anymore."

Do you have a job OP? I'm curious why this is something you think is important and upsets you. I lost a lot of weight this year and look great and get lots of comments that sometimes make me uncomfortable. So what? I have better things to think about and I understand that what's really tough isn't getting the "you are too skinny" comments, it's being silently judged for being fat.

As a fat person, I agree with this. I have a very tall female friend and everyone remarks on her height in a way that would make me cringe if they had said it to me about my weight. Society has schooled us on not being rude to fat people. But apparently the lesson doesn't carry to other traits. Like being thin or tall or whatever. Just stop talking about people's physical appearances this way.
