Treated Differently Now

@BamBam, Depressing? You're right. so in order for me to seek the true friendship that you mentioned, I suppose I have to start all over with a new set of people that never knew me before at all. Is that the answere?

Well only you can determine if these people are truly friends or not. Sure seems like jealously is the issue and if they shut you out based on jealousy then it's hard to say they are a true friend. I can say, from my own experiences, that people tend to congregate with like subjects. When you were big you were just one of the girls, but now that you have made so much progress your presence is an immediate reminder of what they don't like about their own life - excessive weight. Conversely, there are a lot of fit people who never gave me the time of day when I was heavy - but now seem to consider themselves my friend. That doesn't exactly sound like true friend material either. Wouldn't it be so much easier if life had defined lines in the sand? lol
