WHen I told my best friend about my approval she didnt seem very happy for me and later admitted she was a bit depressed b/c she thinks our friendship will change. We have both been big our whole lives and food was a big part of our friendship (Going out to eat, etc). She is married already and doesnt really go out so that isnt going to be an issue. But has this happened to anyone with a friend who is also overweight and how did they react to you losing your weight? We have been friends over 10 years and I told her I'd hope that me losing weight would not ruin that...

This is a sad thread.

I really never conceived of this happening in real friendships. Heck, I wasn't even surprised by the surgery results ending in broken marriages (I can see that happening more easily, I guess).
