Ha ha I get this all the time there is 2 sides to it. The close ppl that loved you for who you were see a big change physically and emotionally and any one that's happy doesn't usually want change in there life so they get worried thinking your gonna change. Then you have the haters that try and say you look sick or tell every one your addicted to drugs lol I cop that all the time ha ha I just laugh it off, be cause I lost 65 kilos ( 146 pounds ) in 7 months I was hearing this constantly but I got over it. But to the ppl that mattered in my life I would just remind them that I'm a fat person at heart and always will be but I would be dead a lot sooner if I kept up that lifestyle so please don't try and persuade me to be that guy again cause it really wouldn't be hard for me to go back (putting on 8 kilos in the last month showed that lol). But that's how I handled that
