Who else has friends that are not very supportive

Anyone else find when they decide to do something positive and get healthy they get mocked by their friends. I probably have 1 friend who is in the same mind set as me , wanting to lose weight and stay healthy . My work colleagues are all bigger than me , all size 20 - 28 UK size , but as soon as I lose weight and produce healthy food for lunch they start their usual tirade of " Oh it wont last , Silly stupid diets you put on more than you lose after "
I don't feel the need to put them down by saying " Eating that will make you even bigger and your heading for diabetes or heart attack" .
I have a meeting all day today , were biscuits , pastries and sweets will be laid out to munch on , that not to mention the ridicule of getting out my healthy lunch whilst they all order cheesy chips with bacon on and a minute salad that they call healthy .
Well that's my ***** for the day , wish me luck x

I find that when you try to make healthy choices, people who are not doing the same, feel like you are criticizing them. It's the whole misery loves company scenario

My close friends are supportive but some coworkers of mine can get a bit negative. I try to cheer everyone along . Just hang in there!

When I first started a long time ago, one of my BFFs wasn't supportive at all. Actually she said nothing to me until I lost 40lbs. I knew her non-responsive behavior was her being negative (because she is a loud mouth). I've heard her bad mouth her other good friend for trying to get healthy saying that she'll never do it. So I knew that behind my back she was doing the same thing. UNTIL one day 40 was gone! I honestly believe that these type of people are just insecure and know that they would have a problem doing it so they want to bring everyone down with them. Keep your head up, choose healthy and just smile back at the negative It will drive them crazy.
