16 mos out: Assertive much?

Funny, just this weekend my sister told me that I am LESS abrasive since I lost weight and many others had noticed it as well.  I have always been very assertive and I can see that I am calmer, more content somehow, but I had no idea people viewed me as LESS abrasive now.  Although it was a compliment, it kind of hurt my feelings to know many people used to view me as abrasive and I never knew it.

I guess the message is that we all do change as we lose this weight.  It is interesting, isn't it?

I thought it was maturity, but maybe it's the weightloss.  I know for sure life is too short and I don't tend to hold my feelings inside.  However, once I've had my say, I'm over it.  I'm not one to hold a grudge.  So if you don't want the truth, don't ask and if you want to act stupid, you're probably going to hear about it.
