[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's 100% because they are used to seeing you fatter.[/quote]

Possibly but I didn't make any remarks about their weight gain and they had seen me just a few months ago when I was a little less thin and didn't say anything.  Prior to this I hadn't experienced skinny shaming in my life. It is worse than fat shame. [/quote]

It depends on how much weight you lost in that few months. If it was enough weight loss that they noticed (when they didn’t comment before) Maybe the drastic change is what they were concerned about. Give them the benefit of the doubt . Why automatic assume they were jealous. Sounds like you all are friends if you meet up every few months at the salon. Maybe they were reaching out to you in case you needed help and were in fact sick.

Also have you considered that maybe you do “look” sick?[/quote]

We aren't friends. They work in the salon. I haven't been told by anyone else I looked sick. I am also in my 30s and[b] everyone in my family ages well so can't be due to age. No wrinkles, gray hairs, or saghyness. [/b]The thought that people are used to seeing certain bigger body types instead of thinner ones did cross my mind. But at that weight I felt my best and looked my best. I gained back 8 and its not the same. I feel fat now and wide! But I felt so thin in comparison to most people in the regular everyday dmv. To be called sick though by people who are used to seeing bigger stung.[/quote]

Aside from being 50 lbs overweight as recently as a few months ago your genes are perfect, I guess.  Congrats?[/quote]
