Losing weight......losing friends :(

ParkersMomma2010

I haven't lost friends (that I know of)....BUT....I do get a lot of smart comments from my udates linking to facebook.....so much so that I turned off my facebook updates for a week. I was so hurt by one comment telling me to go get a cheeseburger and be happy with myself regardless of my size (REALLY!!!???!!!)....

But let me tell you this----after turning off my udates to facebook....a guy at church that I don't really talk to that much walked up to me and said " I really love your fitness post...they have inspired me to lose weight"

Girlfriend....he has lost 30 lbs and logs into myfitnesspal on his phone EVERYDAY!!! hahahahahaha!!!

What's my point??? You're an inspiration to MANY....even though you may run into a few HATERS!!! Keep shining superstar and brush them HATAS off:))

If your girl is a TRUE friend, she'll come around and offer support if she wants to be in your life. I know to lose a friend is heartbreaking---cheer up:)) You're doing a great job:))

Wow thank you so much for this! I cannot believe the nasty comment about the cheeseburger. My "friend" also commented to me in her explanation "newsflash your thin be content with yourself". That upset me How wonderful that is about the other church member using you as inspiration. That was alot of my reasoning for linking it to fb and I have come across others that I have inspired so that is great!

I posted earlier about one friend who I don't think could take it if I told her my success. I just thought of my other friend who has improved her life, and lost weight because I'm there to "inspire" her. she's changed how she eats and is moving more (she's active to start with) and has two little girls and is very busy.

I'm still sorry about your friend but I just wanted to post something about how our weight loss journey here can have good results from the people around us as well.

We have only lived here 4 years so I don't have many friends here anyway. Most of the people I know are far thinner and more glamourous than me, so I don't have the envy issue! Not in that direction, anyway.
