Does anyone else on here feel like being fat is their identity? Because I think that’s part of my problem here; for so long, I’ve been told I’m a fat person and therefore a slew of other adjectives— bad, lazy, dumb, undisciplined, etc. Doctors, nurses, laypeople, my family… lots of different people have said it in one way or another. Then when I lost a **** ton of weight several years ago, everyone literally did a 180 on me and told me I was incredible, an inspiration, so much better than I used to be… no joke. I kid you not when I say that it really, really ****ed me up. I don’t want to be someone those types of people admire— snotty, rude, insulting, shallow, mean… and for the life of me, I can’t seem to separate all those adjectives from “thin and healthy.” I think it’s a major part of the issue with me, and I was curious if anyone else on here has identity issues regarding their weight. Any thoughts?
