have you ever felt that maybe you were a nicer person when you were overweight? asking because i have experienced this, when i was overweight i put more effort into my character instead of my looks

Not nicer but maybe I let people take advantage of me more when I was overweight because I thought that if I didn’t they wouldn’t like me and now I am more sure of myself so I don’t take the bs.

I’ve had this. Peoples perception of you changes when you lose weight. I was the same I used to let people walk all over me and was constantly taken advantage of. Now I care less what others think and I’m not afraid to say no or stand up for myself more. If people call me a dick or whatever for that, that’s cool. “Lions don’t care for the opinions of sheep” ;)

Stay strong big or small. Be kind. Don’t use others and spread love not resentment.

For me, through the journey of getting fitter, I’m finding self-respect and self love, and I’ve started to stand up for myself. That’s not being mean, that’s just valuing my own feelings as much as I value others — and that’s not selfish. We are all just as good as anyone else. It’s showing the world that I’m worthy of respect, no matter my size.

I want to emphasize that it’s not the being fitter part that is the catalyst, it’s the JOURNEY. It’s learning what we’re capable of. Of overcoming adversity, of not giving up, of battling and failing, and getting up and trying again — those are the things that have helped me find my voice, regardless of my size.
