I never thought this would happen, and maybe I’m an ass for thinking this way, but I think I’ve reached the point in my journey where I am tired of hearing about it from others.
I’ve been big my entire life and have lost about 150 lbs in total. I look very different and I am aware of this. At first the “you look so great!” comments were flattering and even empowering. Now, they’re starting to feel invasive.
I’m tired of my body being the topic of conversation. I’m tired of people asking how I did it, the backhanded compliments (you know the ones where they say something like “wow I’m so happy for you, I wish I wasn’t so fat though.) it’s just.. odd.
I understand they only mean well, but after a year of maintaining and getting used to daily life in this body, I’m tired of hearing about it. I know I look great, I am immensely proud, but I do not owe anyone an explanation. Anyone else feel this way? Even if it’s early in?
