I have had the opposite happen. Often, when I am checking out with lc stuff I get positive comments. The cashier I go to fairly often at my local grocery store wants her daughter to come in and meet me and have me explain this woe to her! I enjoy the reactions I get now much more than the looks when I was buying ice cream or cookies at my old weight. I guess there will always be a few rude people but overall I have found some very friendly, complimentary ones thank goodness
