angyllina 0 Posted February 5, 2009 Hello everyone! This is my 1st time here and I have been soaking up all the wonderful information on here. I have been combing the internet trying to get as much info and perspective as I possibly can. I am going to a seminar on the 21st, and then go from there. I am hopeful and excited... I've tried and tried to lose weight...and I have lost it...but it always comes back...much quicker than I lost it. I'm scared...for lots of reasons. I'm scared that I won't get approved through insurance or a creditor. I'm scared what losing all this weight will mean for me. I've hidden behind it for so long. I've always been that crazy fat girl. I wanna be the crazy, funny chick with the smokin' bod!! But I really feel like I am ready to come out from behind the curtain. How has it been for those of you that have lost when it comes to attention from people (good and bad). The times in my life that I have been relatively fit, people treated me both better, and at the same time, so much worse. Does that make sense? Anyway it seems I am rambling! I am happy to be here and look forward to reading about your stories! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacMadame 81 Posted February 6, 2009 How has it been for those of you that have lost when it comes to attention from people (good and bad). The times in my life that I have been relatively fit, people treated me both better, and at the same time, so much worse. Does that make sense? I'm a very outgoing person and I'm old enough that guys wouldn't hitting on me too much. So I didn't really expect a big difference in how I was treated once I lost most of my weight. Man, was I wrong! People smile at me for no reason now, instead of me forcing them to make eye-contact and smile. People open doors more. People apologize when they bump into me instead of giving me the stink eye (even when it's my fault). No one is hitting on me though. So that part hasn't changed. :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
