I’m not invisible anymore

ninelives58

I walk around my office complex just about every day at lunchtime. I started doing this last summer when I started MFP. Since then I’ve lost 34 pounds. While walking, I always see people going back and forth in the parking lot, but lately I’ve been surprised that some of the younger businessmen that would have completely ignored me before are speaking to me. I don’t mean in a pick-up sort of way, just being friendly. Wow, I hadn’t thought of that before – another benefit to getting healthy!

I remember when I realized I wasn't invisible anymore, too. It was really interesting to not realize it until you aren't. Good job on your weight loss!

Awesome feeling! I know for me it was like a whole new world when I finally started looking up as I walked and not down at the ground:)

That fact that you spoke back means you're a better person than me I'm one of those people where if you didn't speak to me then when I really could have used the encouragement PLEASE don't bother to speak now!!

CONGRATS on your success!!! You are an inspiration!!!

It has always been so strange to me that the heavier a person becomes the more invisible they become. I've noticed how less attention I get, whether it's someone coming onto me or just being nice and friendly, I have noticed how little doors get held open for me by males when I am in public, it was never an issue before. The reality is we are visual creatures, especially men.

great job at losing 34lbs!
