I know this isn't completely new, but as someone who has been 140 pounds to as high as 220, now 207 - I've noticed how differently people have treated me on the weight part.

At 140 pounds, I used to get a lot of smiles from strangers, get called string bean, told I should eat more and had more interest from women on the dating side of things.

When I became 220, I started noticing people would look a little grossed out at me at times, call me "big man" or "big guy", heard a couple of fat jokes, and dating interest had dropped off a cliff. Even got told by a now ex that I gained weight in a rude way (which isn't fair and weird considering I was smaller than her).

Now I'm 207 pounds and noticing my face is thinning out again, with getting some more random smiles or interactions from people. I've seen other people say awful things about peoples' weights behind their backs and I just don't understand why people judge each other like that. Sometimes I think people subconsciously do it without realizing they're judging someone for their weight.

Anyone have personal, first hand experience in any way?
