Default Are people treating you differently since you lost weight?

Are people treating you differently now that you are no longer fat?

For example, I have found that women I have never meet before (and it is always women) have been coming up to and start talking with me. This has been happening frequently when it never happened before when I was fat.

HA! Me too! Very frustrating. Need to start carrying my before picture around with me!

And like you caveman, I also get a LOT more attention from the opposite sex.

Exactly! And wonder why I eat like I do. "Girl, your skinny. You need to eat some bread with that burger" LOL They can't get into their thick skull that I eat like I do to keep from getting fat like I was. I don't think they will ever get it.......
