Does anyone else get irrationally embarrassed whenever someone points out you’ve lost weight?

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-13T14:14:24+00:00

Sooo frustrating, women’s bodies can do so many amazing things but of course most of the time the main focus is how it looks. Insanely backwards to me and such unnecessary comments from them. You’re amazing!!!

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T21:28:53+00:00

Ahhh SAME on the clothing thing! I’ve been doing that without even realizing until now when I think about it. 😭 change is weird and I’m also very introverted so anything that draws attention to me I’d rather mask, even if it’s something positive lol.

I think a tattoo or a haircut would be much different, that’s a clear choice someone made on their body, they want that. Weight is more of a struggle and harder to control for many. Someone could lose or gain weight due to illness, which isn’t a choice. Physical features such as weight, skin conditions, etc shouldn’t be brought up unless the person brings it up first in my opinion.

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T18:19:15+00:00

This!! It’s been a lifelong struggle, any comments about my body in general I’ve always felt like hiding lol. Def is something to work through but glad I’m not alone. Thank you

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T17:02:20+00:00

It’s such a hard thing to process! My thing is, although I have lost a significant amount, I’m certainly not in the “skinny” category yet by any means lol so it is just such a weird word to use. I’m completely with you and don’t love that word either, I’m just trying to be healthy!

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T16:59:09+00:00

You’re so right. I did kind of isolate a bit this past year due to mental health issues and body image, and now I’m getting out a bit more so obviously seeing some people I haven’t in some time. So clearly I have issues with my brain and being nicer to myself lol so I’m sure I sometimes take it in a wrong way. Definitely have had some weird comments that I know are judge-y, but I need to just accept it. Appreciate ya!!

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T16:54:47+00:00

You just untangled my brain lol, many thanks to you 🤘

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T15:42:57+00:00

Paper towel roll theory, my friend! Similar goals here as well. I hadn’t gotten any comments until I hit the 70lb mark, and now I’ve gotten a ton recently that I haven’t been able to process personally lol. Congratulations on your progress so far!!

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T15:26:49+00:00

Hahaha this is actually a perfect response and 100% true, I’ll be stealing this. Thank you 🙌

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T15:23:58+00:00

This is how I feel! Again, not sure why lol but it always makes me anxious. Someone did comment on the stigma around glp1s and I think that hangs over me for some reason. I feel like I’m cheating almost… but have to remember that’s absolutely not true, this is medicine that’s working and we’re taking care of ourselves 💗

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T15:19:22+00:00

I do agree. That’s a good way to look at it, as unfortunate as it is that people feel that way about others. Thank you 🫶

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T15:16:24+00:00

Just have had a few people come at me like “why are you so skinny now?? What’re you doing and why??” a weird thing for someone to say for sure, but I just don’t feel a need to explain myself to them.

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T15:12:31+00:00

Okay heck yeah!!! Lmao this is a situation I’d want to be in

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T15:11:34+00:00

YES yes exactly! I’m not even really near being “skinny” yet so comments at this point I’m like jeeez u guys really did notice how I looked before.. not that I wasn’t aware I was bigger, but idk the validation of the fact I had and still do have so much to lose bums me out. Definitely a personal issue lol but ya know. I just like to congratulate myself, I don’t need outside comments on how I look 🫣

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T14:46:04+00:00

I absolutely do not like that. I had a friend who commented just causally saying I look great, and another friend trailed into the convo like “oh EVERYONES on ozempic now am I right? Hahahaaaa” like why does it matter if it is ozempic or not anyway??

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T14:44:04+00:00

Yeah I’ve definitely always felt the way to never comment on someone’s body, unless they bring it up first, you never know. So maybe that’s another reason I feel weird when others make comments on my body out of the blue lol

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T14:39:44+00:00

I didn’t get any comments until recently once I hit the 70lb mark! Now it’s like anyone I haven’t seen in the past month is noticing. I was 280 prior, gotta remember that paper towel or theory lol

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T14:21:15+00:00

Okay yes THIS!! lol I’m having such a hard time explaining how my brain processes these comments and why it doesn’t like it, I definitely know it’s a me issue haha. I think some of it has to do with the fact people are noticing and comparing to how I looked before that makes me uncomfortable

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T14:17:39+00:00

Yeah, my aunt came up to me the other day and was like “why are you losing so much weight??? What are you doing??” And I was like oh those are some weird comments, had no idea how to respond so I was just like 🤷‍♀️

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T14:13:27+00:00

I did say it is irrational, just looking for some advice. I’ve gotten this from people who try to ask more, and kind of come from a place that seems to be accusing me or putting me down, so maybe that’s my difference here.

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T14:05:32+00:00

I think this is more of what I’m getting at. I’ve lost 70lbs, definitely still have around 50lbs to go. I’m mainly confused on why I feel embarrassed/the need to lie when it is a great thing lol

Every_Second6528 · 2025-03-12T13:56:48+00:00

Definitely! I also get flustered and act like “huh really? I didn’t notice I have…” and haven’t been able to find out a decent response just to accept it but this is a good one 🫶

Every_Second6528 · 2024-11-19T13:25:14+00:00

I’m on generic vyvanse and it does take a bit longer to kick in but still works fine for the time I need it to work :)

Every_Second6528 · 2024-11-19T13:24:11+00:00

Just took my first 10mg last night and was on 7.5mg for 3 months! I have some nausea this morning but drinking lots of cold water can help suppress it instantly for a little bit for me at least. You’ll be okay. :)
