One thing that I have discovered on my quest to reduce my weight is that people treat you different depending on what you weigh.
I have noticed that in losing 25 pounds people are more friendly. I get more head nods, hellos and casual conversation then I used to get 25 pounds lighter. Initially, I thought maybe it was because I was more confident but a lot of it is not initiated by me. Of course, maybe before they were worried about me taking their lunch or something. But really, it makes me think about my personal judgements passed on people. Am I that way? Do I base my interaction with people based on appearance? I would hope not, but I don't know.
I think the reality is, if others are judgmental like that, it's no wonder there are so many self-esteem issues. How many of us contribute to those issues unsuspectedly?
Anyway, food for thought...
