This has been my life since about July of last year.
Everyone I run into has some version of the following:
- Have you lost a lot of weight? Is it on purpose?
- Are you okay?
- You're not sick are you?
I've had at least three people re-introduce themselves to me, and then realize I'm someone they knew already.
One of my clients who is a nurse could not be convinced that something wasn't wrong. She asked if I had been to the Dr. "You've lost a lot. You know I'm a nurse, I'm worried about you. This isn't normal. Something is not right." I was trying not to roll my eyes. Yes I lost a lot, but that happens when you make sure and stay in a caloric deficit week after week for months at a time.
I realized that this is actually a bad thing for many people trying to lose weight. If you're struggling, these types of interactions can actually de-motivate you.

I found this to be one of the more demoralizing things I was met with when I lost weight (and my transformation wasn't as evident - only like 25-30 lbs). Here I thought I was in peak physical shape, looking great, and then one of the chicks at work tells me I look sickly. I still hold a grudge years later.
