Treated Differently After Weight Loss



Recommended Posts

I found the complete opposite to be true....both in business and personal relationships, I am more openly accepted and people just seem more friendly.

Let's face it, like it or not, Obese people are pariah's to a large extent.

It was only when I became skinny and fit did I realize the difference, and often catch myself scrutinizing the obese. (some anyway)

I have experienced the same. When mixing with the public or at social gatherings with people I've never met, I've noticed more immediate acceptance. Beforehand, I had to work it more by people getting to know me.

It's only 2 specific people that have been squirrelly. While I continue to be confused as to what their problems are, I'm at the point where I really don't give a damn.

Stay positive true to yourself remembering this is a step you took for your health. Those who want to b your friend will keep in touch. Friendships change all the time may or may not have anything to do with weight loss.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
