Question for Kathi G - or anyone else that might have this experience

KathiG - you mentioned in a response earlier about dealing with depression with your new self. I'm curious, because I'm seeing some anger in myself coming out because of just with what I've lost so far how I am treated by people vs when I was heavier. Does this come into play with you as well - if you are comfortable with answering or want to answer - it not I understand.

Thanks

Hi Oceanlady,

I don't have any anger in that respect. The people that I work with and my friends anyway, they have told me on several occasions that they didn't think of me as fat before.  They have nothing but good things to say. I was very open and outgoing when I was heavy. Almost like I tried hard to be accepted, now I feel I have be come introverted and more quiet. It is still hard for me to handle compliments.  People at work, say "hey Skinny"  and I just don't know how to respond to that other than say, I am not skinny, I am still fat!!

As for the public, it is really nice not to hear people snicker (or at least, I don't feel paranoid thinking they are)  and I don't feel they are laughing at me anymore.  I really like that!  

I hope this answers your question.
