I thought losing weight would make me happy but it didn't. It actually made me MORE self conscious and uncomfortable because I started to receive more attention from men. I felt like everywhere I went I was being scrutinized. It was awful. At least when I'm fat I'm invisible.

@DearAmbellina2113 Don't feel that way, at least you're not getting attention from other ppl commenting on your weight

@DearAmbellina2113 It wasn’t being scrutinized. It was being idolized.

@Livingwell it felt like men were staring at me thinking "She'd be cuter if..." 😥

@DearAmbellina2113 Although, some men prefer fat women.

@DearAmbellina2113 No, I’m pretty sure it was admiration. But being objectified would be uncomfortable.

@DearAmbellina2113 lol @ the last line. But yea I can understand that. Beauty can be a curse. Chicks hate on you and guys are all over you
