Have you ever been overweight and then shed most if not all of it?

Question

And have you seen a difference in the way you were treated then and are treated now?

Answer 1

Oh absolutely!

I was a size '0' for years, and then ballooned up to size 24.

World of difference! I'm now a size 12, but certainly don't get attention like I did in the teeny-weeny days.

So what's your point?

Answer 2

I was a size 16/18 at 216 pounds and now I'm 133 pounds at a sixe 5/7..sometimes 6...I feel better about myself now..but I went through a phase when I was anorexic and now I have to go to a doctor every month for a checkup..

It sucks..

Answer 3

I am in the process of doing that right now. 275 was where I started at 8 months ago and now have lost 85 and looking to loose another 60. You betcha things are different. I don't have the problems when I clothes shop I use to. The clerks treat me better. Men that would be nice to me before or just ignore me suddenly are overly interested. My hubby has actually shown alot more interest in me and is jealous of other guys. It has made him kind of nervous at times. We are working on that. I also have changed alot too to be fair to them. I am more out going and sure of myself. Confidence is sexy you know. My sense of style has improved or come out more than it had been before. I take more interest in my appearance than I use to. Lots of things have changed. And will continue to as I loose the rest of the weight.
