This goes for someone who has lost a lot of weight, as well. Though in our society, this person is usually praised and told how beautiful they are. This is why I LOVE people who meet me as I am now. Someone from my past COULD do that, but for a lot of them, it’s a stretch. There is no expectation, there is no disappointment or attention to the major shift in my look. Hahah. Which really should be the last thing I want people I love who say they love me to focus in on.
