Answer:How has your life changed after weight loss
2008-04-13 10:01:54I went from 238 to 195 now (goal 140-160) in a little over a year.
Before people were ignored me, when I make eye contact they would just look away right now.
It is not entirely better now at my current weight but WAY better.
1. Family - my family is from Africa so they think I am getting too thin lol
2. Friends - ask me a lot what I did how I lost weight, the funny thing is they are all size 6 and under and trying to lose even more weight.
3. Work - I work with a lot of older ladies so they didn't ask too much what I was doing but they DEFITNELY notice even 5 lbs.
4. Dating, well I am still working on that. But if anyone is even slightly intersted in me I think to myself "he probably wouldn't like me when I was bigger, and if I was smaller he would probably ask me for my number and not just want to be my friend"
Sad I know.
But every 10 lbs I lose I feel like I am going to be asked out by one more guy that wouldn't care if I was alive at 238.

2008-04-13 05:56:39Um my weight loss came after anorexia so I guess it doesnt count. Dating wise is basically down the toilet. But I am only 14 years old though.
Answer:How has your life changed after weight loss
2008-04-13 06:11:22People didn't treat me differently at all. My family never really acknowledge my weight loss. My sister has never said a word to me about it, she has always had a jealous issue with me anyways. My friends were very supportive and think its great. Everyone at work asked me how I did it and thought that I had gastric bypass surgery, I didn't. The doctors that I work with and see on a regular basis all asked me how I did it and a couple of them asked if I was okay and if I was losing the weight on my own. They thought maybe that I was sick (cancer) and that I was losing weight because of some illness. I just started dating again after being married for 23 years and only divorced for about 2 years. I definitely have more self confidence and energy and feel good about myself. I lost 86lbs about 4 years ago with diet and exercise. I had a personal trainer for 11 months who helped me alot. I feel like I am in my 20's and will be 50 years old at the end of this month..........
