being treated differently

mel · 03-04-2006, 09:46 AM

I don't know from what physical state you all started from, but I have recently really noticed people are starting to treat me differently theese last few weeks. As I lose more weight and get fitter people who had vertually ignored me in the gym are now coming over for a chat, in shops and buses and taxis, they seem more courtious than they were. People in general are more friendly and seem to have more time to listen to me. I find this quite weird!!!
I find it quite upsetting really that just from losing just over a stone this last few weeks makes such a difference, I found my self thinking that I was the same person I was a few weeks ago so If you couldn't be arsed to talk to me then, bugger off!!!

Has anyone else found they are treated better as you get into better shape? xx

I find some people (especially when I skinned my head) trying to avoid me....

but mostly yeah, through fitness it build a lot of bridges, I talk to a hell of a lot more people that I didn't used to, just because they kinda know who I am or have seen me around and don't really blend in all that much-

nice feeling

Hi Mel, i like Nick find that most people try and aviod me :cry: but to be honest i don't really care

a women who looks after herself and starts to look fitter will generally get more looks etc. you should take that as a compliment as it would mean that your gym work is working.

Thanks mm, I guess it is a good thing, I find it weird though! Are you one of thoose really massive scarey guys then?! I always make it a priority to go and speak to the big scary people, they're normally the nicest most down to earth people in the gym. The managers at the gym I work really kind of tut about the big scarey body builders as so many people feel intimidated by them, I think though it is good to see people working so hard and achieving such results!! x
