I'm having trouble with how people are reacting w/my weight loss.

I know I'm an attractive woman (my husband has always thought so)...really I'm not a vain person...let me explain. Before my weight gain I was always told how beautiful I was, of course those comments from others stopped as I gained weight! Now that I am nearly at goal the attention I recieve from others is overwhelming (from both men and women)! The shunning from some is hurtful (mostly my overweight friends). I know I look good...and want to enjoy my new energy and healthy life, I speak freely about my surgery and all the good it has been for me. I always let others bring it up, because I don't want to offend anyone about my choices. I have to say the world treats you differently if you are thin and attractive...I guess 20 years ago it was the same...I just wasn't mature enough to see it. :(
