Personality change................!!

I've seen this many a times, some people's personality changes when they lose weight, it is though they think they are now better than you, and then when you decide to be healty and start exercising they will force down their tips etc. Also they critizise the way you are exercising or the way and what food you are eating..........................if it works for me, then be it!!!

My personality has changed quite a bit since I started. I am a lot happier and healthier already, and my mood about most things is completely different. I definitely encourage others to adopt a healthy lifestyle because it has done so many good things for me. I would never walk up to someone and criticize them for eating pizza or something though. I only tell someone what I've learned and how I eat if they ask.

I agree, I've seen this a lot at work and in my gym and on here too - I don't mind suggestions or a qualified PT telling me my form is off but I don't really appreciate it from other people as it usually comes across as superior. I was doing deadlifts the other day and noticed a guy watching me in the mirror, I don't know whether I would rather he was checking my form or checking my *kitten* either way it was unnerving :laugh:

My personal footnote to my weightloss is remember where you came from - you were that big/out of shape/unfit once too. Bigger,faster,harder,stronger.

Of course its normal that our personality changes when we lose weight because we become more confident & happier. Its not that we are trying to act like a nutritionist or PTs but is that we are just happy to share something that is based on experience & not just on what we have read online. Those criticisms most of the time are constructive ones so we shouldn't feel bad about it. However there is a fine line between reaching out to others & of being annoying which if that is the case then ignore it & do what works for your body.

I would rather be with those people you mentioned than to be with those formerly overweight people that are now "in-shape" who are making fun of fat people as if they have never been big before. There are so many of them actually who simply forgot where they came from.

I think my personality changed when I gained weight. I became withdrawn and was very down. I had no interest in anything, no lust for life. I feel now that I've lost the weight, the old me is back. I'm back to being fun loving, outgoing and more confident.
I want to be out there doing things and enjoying life.
I don't force the way I do things down anyone's throat but if they ask how I lost weight, I tell them - eat less and exercise. I think anyone who starts to criticise is doing it because they know what works and what doesn't. If they are forceful about it, well that's a personality thing, not a weight loss thing.

That's the ones I am refering to, I do not mind someone giving me tips but if does not work for me I'm sure not going to follow it, and then next time that person see me doing it different critisize "I told you you are doing it all wrong and I told you how to do it but you choose to do it your way" That makes me urrgggg!!!
