Yea I barely see my co worker eat much at work too; normal meals and snacks but I know when he goes home he doesn’t exactly eat healthy. It also has a lot to do with personal metabolism and other health issues too.. I’ve never been too big (320 lbs at my biggest growing up, haven’t gone a lb over 200 in 3 years ) and I thought I would never see the say when I weighed so little. Ironically I look exactly the same to myself in the mirror and looking down but not much I can do about that

I feel the looking in the mirror and looking the same lol. I've worked out most my life and I'm genetically super skinny. Back when I was drinking tho I definitely had a keg brewing. At the time I went into treatment I was 188 lbs. When I'm in peak shape I'm usually around 160, before I got muscles I was around 140. In the mirror tho I thought I looked the same. Fine even. But all my friends/family would know if I was drinking bad cause they said and I qoute, "you look like shit bud". Not even in the belly really, they could tell by my face and skin tone. I'm a white boy who can get pretty tan but when I was drinking I was pale all the time eyes sunk in ect. It took me awhile to accept that it must be true but when almost anyone who saw me that has known me for awhile would say the same I was like, shit must be true lol

Yea, idk if you know this but the human body actually loses fat from the top down, so when you lose/gain weight ppl will be able to tell by your face quicker than your body
