So I'm a young male, who went from obese to a healthy weight over the course of a year now. I have a new job since then, so nobody there has ever seen me fat. I constantly get questions as to why I take the same thing for lunch everyday (turkey or chicken on a low-carb tortilla) or why I drink diet soda, why not just drink regular. Or why I say no to the occasional free desert in the breakroom. It's just kind of wild to me that people don't know I've been to Hell and back with my weight, and since I'm a young, "fit" male, why am I watching my figure? Why do I count calories and am cautious about what goes into my body? This isn't to put down females or anything like that, it's just irritating sometimes that people overlook that you may be watching your weight because you're male. If only they knew what I looked like just a year ago, the torment of the constant negative thoughts I had about myself due to my weight, and the bullying I endured growing up, they'd understand why I do what I do everyday to ensure I stay a healthy weight.
I'm not saying that women don't have to deal with these kinds of questions sometimes, I likely have a skewed perception, but it seems it's more acceptable in society to question a males diet, but I could be wrong. I don't want to say only males experience this because I really don't know. Sorry if I offend anyone with this post.
Just needed a quick rant after today and the past few weeks. I hope you all are enjoying your night! Good luck!
