Jealous Friends/family And Wls

I have a very attractive female friend who always loves to get the attention. When I was slimmer she couldnt light a match to me but when I blew up like a balloon that seemed to make her happier or less say feel superior over me. I hate I told her about the surgery now she is always saying ."You can loose that weight your just lazy," or when "people see you they must associate you with food." All that smack talk from her has made me resent her and unfortunatley cut all ties with her. I cant wait to have this surgery and be smaller than her. LoL I'm just venting. Im 222 5'1 My goal weight is 125!!!!

Hopefully your friend comes around and you two reconnect. We need our friends and have to love them through their faults. It is disappointing she has responded as such but a lot of times people don't know what to say and what comes out is stupid. I hope it works out as I know the VS will work. Take care of yourself because the road may get a little bumpy before you reach your destination. Got to focus on you now. Good luck and remember, you deserve this!

I's soory she's acting like that towards you. I really wouldn't want ot connect with a friend like that agian even after you lose the weight. First it foremost is says that she's not really your friend at all. Good for you for not dealing with that foolishness anymore. you need all your time and effort to go towards your new life of healthy living. Good riddens to her and GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

I know a couple of females like your friend. For this very reason I decided not to share with them what I was doing to lose the weight. I am just going to show up healthier and that is all that matters to me. Sorry that you cut ties with your friend but sometimes it is needed. A friend loves you the way you are and does not feel better when they are stepping all over your feelings....

Good luck and I believe you will reach your goal

I was warned that if I shared the fact I had surgery or began to get smaller, to be prepared for negative reactions. I happen to subscribe to the old adage that you may not be able to believe what people say--but you can DARN sure believe what they do.

Unfortunately, most of the negativity has come from women and I am already losing a couple of friends. Sad, but at this stage in life (60's) I need to jettison anyone that doesn't support my path to a healthier life!

Some people can be so ignorant! It hurts when negative comments come from friends and family. People who supose to be there regardless of the situation. You are beautiful whether small or pleasantly plump.Don't let her insecurities bother you. Friends like her, who needs enemies! Surround yourself with positive people that will uplift you and support you. You do not need her negative vibes draining you. It is so childish and immature when some women hate on others. All women are beautiful and deserve to be treated and respected like the Queens we are! Enjoy your journey to an healthy you and love her anyways!
