People base their perceptions of you based on who you are, which is comprised of how you look and how you act. I think that when people start trying to change their appearance, some people become fearful that you will not be the person they think you are. That along with your body, your personality is going to change as well. It is a comfort level thing with those people and there is precious little you can do to change it except wait it out.

It sucks, and I haven't gotten there yet, but I don't see what else you can do except start messing with them in new and interesting ways...

Interesting ways eh.....
Interested guy is interested.

You've lost over 70lbs and have not been told you are too small yet?
Amazing. Although men are 'supposed' to be big and women are 'supposed' to be small- that probably is the reason. It is BS but probably the reason.

I am going to try to get pictures up here soon so people can see I am a real person. Just need to figure out how. I am computer literate but not forum literate.

I have a pictures thread - Before and During...Not Done Yet!!!...I started out pretty heavy and still look like I have a ways to go (in my humble opinion) so that may be why I am not getting the comments yet...I am looking forward to them, although I bet it gets old quickly.

As for interesting ways...tell them you have a tapeworm or some sort of exotic disease, start making shit up to mess with them. If they are going to ask, you may as well have some fun with it, you know?

Problem is I will get lectured by the know it alls about how I got the tapeworm or Schelling flu. I am usually the only guy in this office- all in my position are based here but are on the road most of the time, myself included.

I love all women- they are better than men in many ways- but this crap is annoying.

I think I will start a simple picture thread. Do you know if that forum is hidden from the public like this one is?

I think it is only because I have tried to send links to a friend of mine who is not a memeber and she says that she can't see what I am sending her without her being a member.

I can't promise that to be the case, but I want to say that is the way it goes...I never thought about it, but I would hope so, I look pretty bad in some of my before pics

ok. pictures- I think.

I just want everyone to see that I am a real person- not some internet geek making things up.

The remarkably fat frontal is from 2.05.08 and is 252, kinda fat frontal is from 4.5.08 and is 227.
The remarkably fat side is from 2.16.08 and is 245.5, kinda fat side is from 4.5.08 and is also 227.

Progress is fairly obvious but so is the massive amount of work that needs to be done.
You can see the top of my bandage on the recent frontal one.

You can definately see an improvement, great job so far...

We don't get to see what you look like, though?

Fine!

Work glamor shot. It is on the website now.....
This is from around the first of the year so really no loss. My face is smaller now. But this will do.

Always afraid to show my face anywhere.
One of those blend into the wall people- and very comfortable with that, never wanted to be anything more.

Thank you though..
