Joke: What if I become fat again?

Iโ€™m 5โ€™2, and my highest weight that I stayed at for a long time was 215.

I got to 25, and realized I had never been in a relationship.

I was too self conscious about my body, and no one really hit on me, anyway.

Iโ€™d get things like โ€œbut youโ€™re pretty regardless!

โ€

And that was such a weird feeling of โ€œoh good, Iโ€™m glad Iโ€™m not ugly?โ€ Mixed with โ€œoh wow, thereโ€™s something really bad about meโ€.

I was fat, but I knew myself, I was (mostly) comfortable, I was generally happy, I was sure of myself.

Then, I lost 100 pounds.

I weigh between 115-120 now.

What gets me is how differently Iโ€™m treated.

After 70 pounds lost, in one month I had gotten hit on more times that Iโ€™ve probably even interacted with a man in my life.

I thought it was a fluke.

At my job today, a guy came in who I recognized has been coming to our town for the past couple years on vacation.

Incredibly cute, really nice and personable.

When he used to come in, he didnโ€™t really look at me twice, and I would think โ€œif only I was skinny, I might be worth looking atโ€.

Well, todayโ€ฆ today he looked.

I could tell he didnโ€™t even recognize me (not that Iโ€™d expect him to, weight loss or not) but then after he left, he came back an hour later to ask me out on a date.

This should have made me happy.

I canโ€™t tell you how many times Iโ€™ve been tongue tied around this guy.

I should have been excited.

Instead, I felt nothing and politely declined.

It was only after, as I was sitting at my desk, that I got incredibly sad.

I became sad about how much your appearance can affect how people see you.
