I used to be about 115-120 lbs with big breasts, chestnut hair and big blue eyes. My nickname was "Pamela Anderson" and I was so used to compliments from women that they became meaningless after a while. Everyday women would say to me that they wished they had my body. Also, whenever I went out men would be all over my best friend and I.

Then PCOS hit and 50 lbs later I don't get loads of compliments from women ( I am fatter than most), men don't adore me and fall all over me and I feel unequal compared to other women. I also feel very jealous and inadequate compared to all my female friends as they are all so much thinner than me. Now I am the one to be pitied. I don't feel special anymore at all. I wish I could wear a sign saying " I used to be thin, I was one of you, I'm not this fat girl". I am now Ms. average on a good day.

So, there is a HUGE difference in the way ppl react to you when you are thin yes. There most definitely is.
