I've lost weight, mostly intentionally as a result of diet and exercise, but I long story short I was also having panic attacks and generally in a bad place which is why I took up walking.
I've lost about five stone since April and , honestly, I am sick to death of the constant comments. It makes me feel humiliated even though I know people mean well, but when I heard the FIFTH comment from a random colleague today I just totally ignored it. Just today I've had an email from someone telling me how fantastic I now look, a "concerned" colleague telling me not to lose any more, someone literally stop their car pull over and tell me how much weight I've lost (?!) Someone else saying "you've lost half your body weight). It's just.too.much.
They all think they're the first to say it and coming from a good place but for me it's CONSTANT. I just don't want to think about it and rightly or wrongly, it actually upsets me.
Am I alone in this? Does anyone have any advice?
I just feel like I am being monitored, like I was never good enough before, not worth much when if truth be told I just want someone to tell me that they value the work I do, or that I'm a good friend or something , anything unrelated to my weight.
