I hate how everyone thinks they can comment on my body after losing weight. It's infuriating at this point.
I've always been a chubby girl growing up so that's what everyone is used to me looking like.
2 years ago I lost 70lbs, went from 200 lbs to 130 lbs and I always got comments like "Wow who's that? I don't recognize her!" or "You lost so much weight!". These comments came from everyone but ESPECIALLY family. I could appreciate this at first but it became everyday and eventually I got tired of saying "Thanks!" or telling people that I just ate healthy and worked out to lose the weight, they were convinced I had some super secret way of losing weight easily.
I was in an abusive relationship and gained most of the weight back and even after the relationship ended, it took me a while to get back into the healthy groove of things.
I went from 190 lbs in February to 150 lbs present day and the weight loss comments from people are back. My mom feels the need to discuss how healthy I look every fuckin day and it's getting exhausting. I went to my grandmothers today and the minute I walked in she said "Who's that? I don't recognize this girl!" and made my weight loss the centre of conversation with the rest of our family. She also started telling me I need to eat more (she never said this when I was overweight).
I love that people are happy for me and everything but it gets frustrating when your body is the topic of conversation. I don't want comments on my body. I know I look healthy but I wish it would stop.
Since I've lost weight, family and friends love to talk about weight loss and fitness with me when I would really just like a normal conversation.
I really hope this post doesn't come off as bragging about my weight loss, it was so hard mentally for me to get back into this and I just don't know how to tell people politely to shut the fuck up about my body. This is the shitty part about losing weight. These comments from friends and family, although they're intended well, make me want to cry in frustration.
