Comments on: What Does Everyone Else Think About ‘You’?

Depends on the person.

I’ve often said that the more “in shape” you get, the more you have to be aware of how you interact with others.

The same cocky attitude that is “cute” when you’re overweight turns into arrogance when you’ve lost the weight… even if the attitude is the exact same (though most of the time its not, getting a better body for a lot of people is like drinking alcohol or making money, if you’re an asshole before, you’re just a BIGGER asshole afterwards, and vice versa).

The key is the realize that this happens and self check yourself.

Confidence is almost assumed by others when you have a better body, no need to “prove” it…

… it ends up being overkill.

The two photos of Kirstie at the top don’t really single out her weight as what has changed. The one on the left is red-carpet-type, with make-up, posed, and smiling. The one on the right is unposed, with no makeup, wearing comfy clothes, and not smiling.

I’d say her weight makes a smaller difference in how she looks in these pictures than the situation of the photo.

Another hot issue, John! Oh, sure I would work out and eat healthy!
We really are soooo preoccupied with the outlook. Dieting and working out is not simply about our look. Discipline and priorities shape your personality, you are right there, John, We have a mind and a body to look after, they serve us well if we use and treat them well. We have abilities we are supposed to make use of. A healthy-working, able mind and body makes you the person who you are. The most important thing is WHAT exactly you do with your life – your very actions, and that really includes your body AND mind.
I only wish people would find the right balance, and make as much sacrifice for their mind, education, polish and personality as for their body.

Does it work the other way around ?

When you lose (a lot of) fat, will your personality change ?
Or will you still have a fat-ass personality in a skinny-ass body ?

I would work out. Working out makes me feel really good while I’m doing it and this feeling can stay with me throughout the day. I also like to know that I’m strong. Strength is important to me. In a world full of people or full of animals, strength and athletic ability equals safety and protection. Furthermore, healthy/fit people enjoy a better quality of life.
