Do you ever get the sense that people are ignoring you or pretending like you're not even there? Or do you feel like people would take you more seriously if you were healthier? I was never skinny, but I did used to weigh less in college. I was pretty confident I'd say and I was one of those girls who always got asked out on dates and always had attention and got compliments. When I got married that lessened of course and since I had a baby 2yrs ago it completely vanished. I cannot even recall the last time someone flirted with me or even gave me a compliment.
I live in a city where I'm usually the biggest person in the room. People here are so.... thin and stylish! I like to be stylish too but it's hard at 200lbs to find cute clothes. Anyway, at work I always feel like nobody wants to talk to me, and other people's conversations are always about sports, the marathons they run, the soccer game they just played, the laps they just did, etc. I am actually pretty active myself - I play tennis 3x a week and exercise daily. But I'm too self conscious to take part in those conversations because I don't think anyone will take me seriously about it.
Anyway, just venting. And feeling like people don't want to be around me because I'm fat. It's a very lonely feeling, I almost feel like I'm offending people just by being fat.
