    ...when you go to parties, you know you aren't just there to make the people you're with seem more attractive.

    Been there, done that.

    Edit: I don't know if this was what you were looking for, but it's been nice to go places and have guys look at me as well as my friends!

    people start telling you that you need to eat more.


    __________________________

    When I was thin, people would literally tell me that, even after watching me eat half a pizza. I suspect I'll hear it again when I lose this last 50lbs or so. Family members are already telling me I'm not eating enough (even though, I eat a lot).

    Friends become a lot more upset when you show up in an outfit that's too similar to theirs.

    people refuse to believe that the "secret" is eat less and move more.

    Yep. It took me completely by surprise the first time a sales associate addressed me as I walked in the door instead of my (usually slimmer) sister.

    you actually get asked questions about health and fitness as opposed to being told what you should be doing regarding health and fitness...

    I've had eye rolls and have been called 'lucky *****' after losing above and beyond my baby weight so quickly.
    The best is the people that haven't seen me in months since I had my daughter can't find it within their jealous selves to say "wow you look great!"

    Like I just sat around and watched it fall off........morons.

    I can actually find clothing that fits.

    Plus, I'll be able to get a kidney transplant.

    I will actually wear a nice bikini and feel FREE at the beach instead of walking around covering myself, refusing to go to the water because I don't want people to see me :ohwell:

    You actually stop comparing yourself physically to your friends because friendship isn't a competition and the concept of the "fat friend" is inane and dehumanizing.

    People will either stop hanging out with you or accuse you of being on drugs.

    I have a friend who is also big, but as soon as I got noticable smaller than her, she stopped going places and doing things with me. She didn't like that I was getting more attention than she was. :noway:

    And my family (of course it would be my family) wanted to know if I was on drugs.:huh: :grumble:

    LOL I got into my journey for several reasons but one of them was so I could stop being the token fat friend LOL.. I have lost just over 40 pounds ( ten/fifteen to go) and I am now not the fat friend but what has been interesting is some of my skinny friends have gained weight and are now looking to not be the fat friend.. its all a circle folks...and can be very entertaining!
