I realize that slow weight loss or gain wouldn't cause such a stir as one's own psyche would be able to adjust slowly to the change. But an overnight difference? Whoa. You can see the difference in how you're treated, and yes, its pretty disgusting.
It freaks me out to this day. I have had guys tell me that they wouldn't date me if I didn't look the way that I do. It does a number on my mind, I think that I am only wanted because I now look good.
Society is shallow, and its disgusting. If I could, I'd go back to the way things were, blissfully ignorant. Blah.

Wow, I can't believe that guys have told you what they did! What pigs! That is disgusting! I too was treated a bit differently when I was thinner. I would get attention from some guys, and at times they were aggressive with their sexual advances, ugh!
Other times I think that I got hired for jobs with male interviewers since they probably liked the way that I looked, ugh! Then I got sexually harassed at a few places, but it wasn't more severe than one jerk who roughly grabbed my arm in front of everyone, WTH?
I can't believe that both men and women have dared to call me fat and ugly names like I'm a cow to my face. It's not as if they were models to begin with! I'd never say such mean things to anyone. Now that I'm heavy, hardly any guy looks at me twice anymore, but that's OK with me as I don't want or need that kind of attention.
