    i have the kinda friends that ask me a whole bunch of questions about what i'm doing and what they should do and what this food does or what does this exercise do. and then they go right back to playing video games and eating mighty taco. they usually bag on me real bad for doing some of the things i do and i always get em right back with something about their lifestyle. it's always been in good humor though and never really caused any arguments or anything like that. i guess you gotta just find that median of what each person can tolerate.

    I think it is also because guys tend to not be as bothered about their weight as women are, and do joke around a lot more without them taking it as personally.

    I have a potty mouth so I will apologize ahead of time. But *kitten*, seriously, if someone is going to make a big deal out of your weight loss instead of being happy for you they are being an @ss. And not just a tiny one, but a huge mega donkey's behind. They can lose weight too, yes its hard, yes there will be tears/sweat/maybe blood, but that's no reason to bring you down. Find new friends. At the gym :) Power on girl!

    My best friend was extremely overweight like myself and has lost her weight while I'm still struggling to lose mine. She doesn't live too close to me so we don't get to hang out that often, but the thing I've noticed that has caused me to pull back a little when she does want to get together is that in some ways she has forgotten what it's like to be fat. She's not mean or anything and is very considerate most of the time, but a lot of times she wants to do things I'm just not able or comfortable doing.

    For example, I'd love to hang out but I physically cant spend 5 hours walking around sightseeing and I would love to go to see a play but the seats are too small. It often feels like I'm holding her back from the things she wants to do or she aways has to settle to spend time with me. I feel like I'm holding her back or when we do, do things I'm in a constant state of panic/stress. I know that if she lived closer we would probably be drifting away from each other by now.
