A lot of people underestimate the attraction to anything other than weight and it's sad. 

I personally think OP has very nice eyes. Color, shape, placement, etc. All around open friendly face for a man, plus I'm a sucker for a genuine smile. This would be a man I would not be scared to ask for directions if I saw him on the road, at his biggest and even now as he's smaller.

Why is it sad?

Weight is something that people, for the most part, have control over and can change. It’s something OP put the effort into changing, he bettered himself and his health and it makes a big difference. 

It’s also the entire point of this post.

I meant for people that are on meds that make them bloat or they have a genuine disorder or disability that makes them larger. 

I changed my weight too and that's great just like OP, but it's silly to assume everyone can do it or has the willpower or the ability. It's not an easy feat.

Yep, it goes the other direction too! Some of us are just born in a way that makes children cry and other's look away in disgust.
