    luvcanasta got a reaction from JustJovi in Jealousy from others?   
    Ugg sounds like me with my sister, she is the one with the rude remarks. She also Started acting like it’s a competition. Saying things like “ well you were big enough you needed that surgery my doctor says I’m not big enough for it. “ then when she found out the other day I now weigh about 15 lbs less then her well she flipped. Full competition mode.
    Oh well I can only worry about myself. I did this for ME and my health. I wont let haters knock me down.

    I had sleeve done on November 30th. Most people are telling me I look great and seem genuinely happy for me. I have a family member that acts jealous though. Just by a few rude remarks I won’t bother posting on here. How do you guys deal with jealousy?

    My sister and a very close friend, both of whom were also morbidly obese, were extremely hostile and unsupportive about my decision to have surgery. I interpreted it as their being threatened that I was doing something to take control of my life. My relationship with both of them has suffered as a result. They both continue to say they would never want to give up wine and good food and say that it must be awful for me that I can't enjoy eating. (I actually do enjoy eating now.)

    I mostly get jealousy from my mother. She is not a great person, nor mother… She seems to think it’s a competition because I’m losing so much weight. She’s not even obese… It is infuriating and I wish she could just be happy for me. I just do my best to let her comments roll off.

    If someone is jealous of your success, it's 100% because of their own hang ups and insecurities. Don't let anyone rain on your parade, and know that you are doing this for you!!
    I've been at goal for a little over 2 years, and can say that being thin is my new normal. Everyone is just used to me looking like this, and nobody ever comments on my size, what I eat, etc. Someday it will be like that for you too!!!
    Keep up the great work!!

    Hi there! I was just going to post about this very topic. Noticed your post and thought I would comment. I got the sleeve done on November 30th. It’s been 20 days and I’ve lost 14 lbs. it doesn’t seem like much to me! I don’t know I was expecting a little more.
