After losing 100 pounds and significantly improving my health, I unexpectedly faced challenges with attention and comments about my weight loss. While many mean well, their remarks often detract from my journey and reduce my efforts to mere numbers, making me feel exposed and uncomfortable. The sudden focus on my body, especially from those unaware of my previous struggles, creates a sense of vulnerability. It's a reminder that comments about weight, whether suggesting improvement or praise, can have deeper psychological implications that should be considered before verbalizing them.
I don't want my body being the focus of everyone's attention. Not everyone knew I was overweight. Now, with other people constantly commenting on this, it can feel like my past struggles are on full display.
While I know most people mean well, these comments put an uncomfortable focus on my body, often reducing everything I've worked for to just a number on the scale.
