I have been overweight most of my adult life now at 44 I have finally got my weight down into the healthy range with the help of diet, exercise and injectables over the past 12 months. I am now a size 10 - 12 and probably look the best I have in over 20 years. I can wear nicer clothes, and I take a new pride in my appearance and and clothes. I practically look like a different person and so much younger I was very lucky to have no issues with loose or saggy skin. My confidence is so much better and my new self image is a 180 on where I was before.
Its mostly been great and lots of people are supportive but some have been funny or even mean about my weight loss saying that I was a nicer person before that now I am always out for attention from others and men, this isn't true but I do get more attention now in general and from men which isn't even wanted but if you are out and you look good people will notice you more and some people don't seem to like that. One male friend (not overweight himself and has been critical of my weight in the past)said he though I looked amazing but that he didn't like it when his friends changed and that he felt less comfortable around me now at my new weight.
Other male friends, colleagues, acquaintances and random men have been more flirtatious with me something that never happened in the past. It is very disconcerting, on one hand it is good to know how much I have changed but on the other it is difficult to handle that kind of attention when you aren't used to it and also it makes you realise just how much of a non person others saw you as when you were bigger which makes me sad.
Anyone else dealing with these issues after significant weight loss?
