Hey Rod. Your blog truly sounds like what I have been thinking ever since losing the weight. I absolutely hate it that people seem to "come around" after you lose weight and look better. I've also realized though that when you lose the weight, you also gain more confidence in interacting with people and that can make them notice you more also. My boyfriend knew me at my heaviest and we started dating a little after the start of my journey. He always says that he thought I was pretty before, but I seemed to be unfriendly and standoff-ish then. Once the weight started coming off, we started talking more and he said I was more outgoing which attracted him to me more.
Good luck to you and you look great. I would have dated you as a heavy person though, it just sucks that not everyone can see things that way.
