Is it normal to 'feel' for fat people ?

Like when I see overweight people at the gym, i immediately start to smile . With no hesitation or thought. I feel as though I have a weak spot for people like that . And I just want to go up to them and congratulate them on finally wanting to lose weight . Maybe I think like that because I'm overweight and have lost 70 pounds thus far? Idk .is it normal ?

    You have empathy. You sympathize with them because you know what it's like. That is normal.

    I think it is really sweet that you feel for them.

    I'm glad when I saw my friend working out and motivated him all the way and worked out with him. He's now 175 coming from 280. I just hate it when I see overweight people complain about their weight but do nothing about it. "why am I fat?" because you eat too much

    This normal. You understand what it is like to be an overweight person and the difficulties that come with that body. You have empathy.
