    Going back to this ^

    I met a guy a few years ago and we became mates. He was/is your average young, slim good looking guy in his early 20s...I just assumed because he was so slender (and spent a lot of time in the gym), like most blokes his build and age, he had a lightening speed metabolism and could eat like a horse. I then noticed that on nights out he would drink vodka/gin with diet tonic or diet coke when the other guys were on pints. I also spotted that when we went out together as a group for food, occasionally he wouldn't join in or would order something really small, just saying that he ate loads earlier.

    Eventually I got to know him enough to ask him about this, and he just laughed, pulled up a photo on his phone and said "that's why!". It turns out he used to be really overweight, put in the work and lost it and had been maintaining with these little tricks for several years.

    It really made me think about the assumptions I make when I meet people. If I had met him whilst he was big, I wouldn't have questioned for a second why he was making these choices. It also blew my mind a little that this person that I'd only known as a fit young guy with used to be obese!

    I only hope that one day I'm the one laughing and pulling the chubby photos out to explain my eating choices. Well done guys!!

    I usually tell them "Thank You, its a battle everyday, but so worth it"
    Enjoy the compliment you worked HARD for it

    I really like that, thank you. I've found that a simple "Thank you" doesn't turn the attention away, it's almost like I need a closing line after. lol
