Getting more respect due to weight loss??

At my work I feel like I have been treated with more respect since I started losing weight. Have you noticed this too?

  • Personally, I feel like people are noticing me more. Haha...not that it is always positive but it has given me confidence to be more assertive than I was.

    For me I think it was more a case of me not being so afraid and ashamed of myself to actually speak up, to look people in the eye and start taking a bit of pride in my appearance for a change. That's what got me more respect. Before I lost weight I just lurked in the background and hoped that the thin, pretty girls wouldn't notice how awkward and embarrassed I always felt around them.
