My best friend does this! She has 4 kids. Not one stretch mark and is a size 2 I think maybe a 4.... And I tell her how I'm feeling sometimes and she says she knows I feel cuz this is the biggest she has ever been. It makes me so mad!

Yeah, one I had a friend complain to me because she had a 27" waist. "OMG! I'm huge!"

It's a passive-aggressive version of the humble brag.

Perspective is reality. Their perspective of themselves is their reality. I never got it either until I started really losing weight. For them going up at all is getting fat. For us we long to be where they are and that is our perspective based on our reality.

I hear you Dub, but still, couldn't they show some compassion to us struggling with real weight issues?

My assistant ask me every day how much I've lost and it's getting old. She is a stick and complains about her weight to me every day after she is done questioning me. It gets to be a 30 minute monolog every time, since I have no more interest in answering her never ending rude invasion of my privacy.

Yup. Not accountable to anyone for the exception of my surgeon, nut and myself.

Nilla

I was going to say the same thing. Wait until you hit your goal weight and you gain 5 pounds. You feel HUGE, even though you know you're not, lol. It's a really weird thing that happens.

I'm hoping all of you will get to experience it

Agreed. I've turned into the smaller one who complains about every ounce gained. Bitterly. I try to be aware, but sometimes it just creeps out.

And to people who never knew me 112 pounds ago? I am sure it sounds like I am fishing for compliments when in reality, I know exactly how THEY feel and exactly how I do.
