Losing weight can be bitter sweet... maybe more bitter

You know... this weight loss is bitter sweet... i mean we lose weight and love the compliments but its these compliments that are troubling "my god where is your other half," or "you look great" or "oh my god you look so good"... i mean i know being big isnt the best but hell what the hell was i before... a freaking monster...

I mean i know that i wasnt healthy and whatever but then its like jesus was i just this big disgusting animal. And a bigger blimp than those on the freaking Biggest loser show... i mean i wasnt but holy crap sometimes that brings me down to the fact that life before this was a complete lie...

Last night thats what happened... went to see old co workers and those are the comments i got... i as i said... it was great to see the work i have been doing has paid off but holy crap...

i dont know ... what do you think?

hahahah this made me laugh

Really though, I wouldn't take it offensively. They are probably just trying to give you the biggest compliment that they can manage, and I'm sure that they don't mean to imply anything about your before weight. They're just saying that you look good now. Enjoy it!

yeah i suppose but the fact is were you nice to me before? i mean in a rather fake way.... its kind of harsh in a little way...

i mean dont get me wrong , im not going to let this get me down.... but im just rather cautious on it... i guess it would be different if i was single and looking for woman but these are just friends and or so called friends... it kind of bothers alittle.

Yep. People don't get it. I'm sure they are trying to be nice in their own way, but still...I know exactly what you mean, and I hate the fact that I was treated differently as a thin person than as a fat person. I'm the same person, I just ate too much!
