The way the world views you

Alot of you have lost a LOT of weight like me. People don't recognize me unless they have seen me through this journey. Which I will say has benefited me. What differences have you seen in the outside world with people viewing you from over weight to thin? What is the difference in strangers if any that you can see, such as speaking to you, smiling, their attitudes in general from then to now.

The biggest difference, honestly? I get my way at work a lot more. I used to experience resistance if I wanted to handle a situation a certain way and would have to go to the mat for what I wanted to do. Now, I find that 99% of the time, people fall all over themselves to agree with me.
