[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People often think that they'll be different people when they lose weight. They'll be happier, less insecure, less reactionary. less judgmental. None of that is true. [b]They're the same people, just with a lower number on the scale.[/b] If OP's friend didn't work on anything BUT weight loss, she's going to gain it back and then OP might not have to hear it anymore. Sustained maintenance takes inner work, as well. Sounds like she skipped that part. [/quote] +1 I'd wonder if the mean comments aren't a way to try to distance herself from the person she was before; she's disgusted and afraid she might gain the weight back, so shaming other overweight people is a way of pre-emptively shaming herself. The thing is, it's pretty well known that shame isn't a great motivator to lose weight, and often backfires. But the real issue is that losing weight doesn't make you a better person; you're the same person you always were, just lighter. [/quote]
