Ha! Take that!

So this is slightly immature, but I wanted to share a little personal victory with all of my fellow MFPers...

There is a woman who used to be a very close friend of mine...she is slightly younger than me, and through one way or another we ended our friendship and now she (apparently) loathes me. That's a little backstory!

So, she is very skinny. Naturally, she just has a very small frame and even after having a child she is teeny tiny (luck biotch). Before I even had MY little one, I was bigger than her.

Noooow, that is changing! I'm never going to be as small as she is, but I'm starting to look better in clothes than ever before and apparently, she is taking notice!

I overheard from a mutual friend that she said "Well, Lexi can lose all the weight she wants but she's still going to be fatter than me."

My internal response to that?

"She was born skinny and will always be that way without any work on her part...but I had to work my butt off for this! I'd rather be toned and a bit bigger than skinny and lazy ANY DAY!"

:happy: :glasses:

LOL....good for you!!!!

Good for you! Try not give her a second thought. She doesn't sound like the type of person that is worth the stress. You have an adorable little girl and you're making yourself feel and look better. She seems to have to put others down to feel good. I know I read alot into that, but I know the type.

Right that!

You go girl!

You have definatly come through this SHINING! Babyish ? NO ! It's a shame people have to put other's down just to make themselve's look better. But with a person like this I can see why there is no longer a friendship.. I have had a person in my life like this and I just got out... What a great kudo for you!!

lexicalabrese

Jdelot - You nailed her right on the head...she certainly is that type! I knew her long enough/well enough to know that she likes to put others down.

Thanks guys...I feel just fine about what she said. I know I've done well and lost 40lbs and am full of willpower! Go me! :laugh:

You go girl!!!:laugh:
Some people are just born that way and no matter how hard you try, you aren't going to be their size. It just doesn't seem fair. But you are going to feel so much more confident and PROUD of yourself because of how hard you've worked!

Good for you!! I'm glad you didn't let her nasty comment get to you. It's a shame that some people are like that.

GRose

LOL That's pretty much my opinion! I have a friend that I grew up with - she's SOOOO skinny & a model now. I haven't had contact with her but I'm pretty sure that she'd think along the same lines.

aerobicgirl

That's a great response, Lexi!!! And I always just think to myself, "You can be smaller than me, thinner than me, but I sure as hell will live longer!"

Jut because she was "born Skinny" doesn't mean things won't change in later years. I can't tell you how many times I've seen that happen.

Ugh...I have an EX-friend like that. She weighs 110 soaking wet. If I ever heard her saying something like that about me, I would just think about how pathetic she is. I mean really? I'm glad you are over it and didn't let it affect you. You are a bigger person than she is!

That is great but why is your mutual friend telling you the negative things your ex-friend said? Is she going back to your ex-friend telling her what you are saying?

This is exactly why said mutual friend and I don't talk much. I'd say it's more of a mutual person we both happen to know
