Yes, I did – my apologies, **Silvorange** , I was scrolling up to see who’d said that and I didn’t scroll up far enough. Your behavior was exemplary.

**FloatyGimpy** , pls. don’t junior mod.

> I’m not arguing with you twickster, but I am offering the other side to the equation. And for the record, I don’t hate fat people. I dislike some of their issues, but we all have our own issues, I don’t begrudge someone for having their own struggles. I am simply trying to help the OP understand WHY someone may treat them differently after weightloss. I even stated multiple times that it may NOT be fair for them to be treated that way. A reason isn’t always reasonable.

And a mod has told you that you’re off-topic in this thread. Weight is a hot-button issue, and you should start a new thread if you want to discuss it.

Everyone – this thread is about people treating someone differently because of a change in appearance. We’re in MPSIMS. Keep it light and anecdotal, please.

Specifically, the whys and wherefores of people being fat is off-topic. Start a new thread if you want to discuss it _ **again** _.

Thanks,
