How did the world treat you differently after you beat your obesity?

People are a lot friendlier to me now. People smile at me more and are just generally more open to conversations. Girls smile a lot more when I talk to them. The ones I was already friends with ask for selfies, hugs etc.. now when they didn't before. But I think a lot of it may be an increase in confidence with the weight loss and the lifting giving me muscles.

Doctors don't weigh me anymore at appointments, which I thought was odd.

When I show people my id's, I haven't gotten New ones yet, they can't believe it's me and generally have the same reaction. Some people say things like "your so inspiring" or something along the lines which I don't really agree with, but I'm not gonna say anything.

I still have a bit more to lose until my goal, about 20 lbs, but I'm at a normal size now. Lost over 60 pounds and put on a lot of muscle.
