When I recently lost approx. 14lbs, everyone suddenly loved me..

Everyone thought I was gorgeous
Everyone thought I was powerful
I can assure you that being congratulated for weight loss just feels like your greatest fear confirmed.. you have to be thin to be valuable to the world!
It fvcking sucks!

I think some people just genuinely mean to congratulate others on accomplishing something they worked for but I get how it can seem that validation is conditioned by your weight (or how for some people it actually IS conditional) and can just as easily be taken away.

@EuphoricTurtle I need to surround myself with better people. I have let myself down over the last 18 months in that regard.

@JosephineTheFox shitty people can be incredibly draining, and it seems that no matter how absurd their bullshit is, some part of it still seems to somehow seep through and let that smell get a hold of us. Time to flush! 😆

@EuphoricTurtle You're right. I intend to flush immediately. Well, after a cup of tea and a good sleep!
