Weight gain reaction

People have to adjust their thinking. I had been in category of a "regular guy" in people's mind and I suddenly jumped to the "fat guy" category. That's a big adjustment. But once people came to think of me as a fat guy, that was it. When I put on even more weight, they didn't bat an eye because that's what fat guys do.
So when you are facing those initial harsh reactions, realize that it doesn't go on forever. Once people think of you as a fat person, things will settle down.

this is what happened to me. i had lost alot of weight in high school. i weighed about 140 when i graduated. when i started gaining, i put on 50 lbs really quickly. everyone started talking about me, and commenting on it. im now at 220-225 and nobody has said anything in a while.
