Same here. I feel so much more at home in my body. I’m not a MILF or anything - just comfortable with myself.

The way people treat me. This is that I noticed the most. And honestly, it’s a sad reality but it’s true. Nobody takes you seriously when you are overweight. Nobody treats you like a person. People/doctors relate every problem
Back to your weight. I lost almost a 100 pounds over the past 2 years and am now considered a healthy weight.

I am the same person but the way people treat me has changed and it’s very noticeable.

Health wise I do feel much better. And I am so thankful for that. I have so much more energy. Also, my social anxiety has pretty much disappeared. I used to get so much anxiety about going places and having people judge me.

The first 3-4 months of changing my lifestyle was hard. Very hard. But then it got easier and now it’s just part of my life. I exercise daily and calorie count. But I don’t do any kind of “diet” and I don’t cut out any kind of food group (so like no keto or anything). Being able to eat what I want and just change the way I do it has been sustainable and that’s most important.

I, too, noticed that thin women were nicer to me. It was weird.

The best part is the clothing. I like being able to grab anything and feel OK in it.

But the real difference was in my dating life. As an average looking overweight person, very very few people wanted to date me. As an average looking thin person, I had so many people who were interested in dating me. I could have conversations with people who I was interested in dating, and they no longer looked at me with disgust. People approached me in public to flirt or strike up a conversation.

I have always had the same personality, but I was treated as a completely different person. It is an interesting lesson to learn for sure.

I get treated better all around. By men and women. More men hit on me, women are nicer, in particular the thin, attractive women that would have ignored me 60 pounds ago. It’s a very weird thing and makes me feel more bad than good.

I have always been able to make friends easily and had many thin attractive women as friends when I was overweight. However, I wasn’t able to date easily when overweight, but the second the weight came off, plenty of suitors wanted to talk to me. Honestly nothing else in my life really changed except for romantic relationships.
