    Now that I won't be seeing her much anymore I can concentrate on myself and try to value myself more, rather than feeling like "the failure" next to "miss perfect".

    This is another thing that I believe we can all relate to. I have one friend who, every time she leaves the house has to be perfect. Her kids are always dressed perfect yada yada yada. Even though I have lost 22 lbs, I still feel like a fatty around her. So welcome to MFP and I hope that you find the support that you need here. It has been a great addition to my lifestyle change!

    Thank you for all your tips and advice (with the exception of one :(). I'm really proud to have made the first steps.

    I know I have a lot of issues to deal with, not just weight but my appearance in general. This is the first day in a long time where someone has not put me down, and it feels nice.

    I now know I'm definitely in the right place at the right time :)

    Hi Sarah and welcome to MFP.

    Your friend sounds like a $%^&*. Ditch her and make some new, supportive friends on MFP!!

    The support really is great and everyone will rejoice in your victories and be sympathetic if you're having a bad one.

    Add me as a friend if you want. And you look beautiful in your profile pic!!

    Sarah- I think you need new friends! That "mate" who judged you had no right to do so at all. We aren't looking for perfection, just slow and steady- talk to yourself as YOU would a friend, and you would never tell a friend they were fat and ugly! Good luck on your healthy journey!

    - Post your 'New Small Victories' (NSV) - we love them.

    I thought NSV = Non Scale Victories???
