I kid you not.
People will go out of their way to talk to me now and strike up conversations, yet, when I was very overweight people out in public rarely spoke to me (unless they had no choice because I spoke to them first)
I find some people very shallow, at the end of the day I'm the same person I was back then, I just look different now, some people do judge a book by the cover and it's quite sad..
Some of this has to do with your openness to being accepted by people. I know when I was overweight I wasn’t open and receptive to having people talk to me. I was in a deep depression. Once I lost the weight I was then much more receptive to having people chat with me and people seem to pick up on that.
So it’s still somewhat sad but not quite as cut and dry

Re: The power of beauty
If I go shopping with my tall, slim, blonde daughter we get better treatment than if I go with my plump, short, brunette daughter.It's quite different and unfair imo.
If I go on my own I get ignored
.Men get quite daft when my blonde daughter talks to them. If I need anything done to my car, she goes with me, not because she gets a better price but, because she knows more about cars than they do. They are quite surprised when she tells them what needs doing.
