Has anybody started hating on you since you're lost weight

well "hate" might be a bit strong, but I do get the impression that some of my co-workers and even some friends are uncomfortable with my weight loss. I think overall my closest friends and family are very happy for me because I've been struggling with health issues the last few years. I tend to get very "into" whatever project I have though so I also tend to like to discuss and talk about what I'm doing...people probably dont want to hear about that.. so I've tried very hard to just keep it to myself and be as humble as possible about it. Its clear once you really start losing weight that you are losing as your outward appearance really will show it especially at the beginning. That all said, there will always be those around you that will want you to fail so that they can feel justified in how they haven't made the effort or resolve some sick jealousy they have over you getting healthier. For those I just say "meh, whatever" and I keep focusing on me. I try, and I realize this is hard for everyone myself included, to just not worry too much about what others think of me. As long as I'm doing right then I dont worry about it.

Congratulations on your success so far and out here, your success will be celebrated so you dont have to worry about anyone hating...at least from what I've seen. Keep it going!

No

I'm made of awesome. Nobody hates on me.

I'm made of awesome. Nobody hates on me.

Opposite for me. Everyone hates on me because I'm hogging all the awesome.

I started experiencing this. People were making up ways I was losing weight (people thought I was starving myself and using different ways to suppress my appetite) and just didn't accept the fact that I used diet and exercise. I was more accepted as being "fat" than being in shape. Some people complained about my food choices (for example, grilled chicken, tilapia, big plate of veggies with brown rice) and tried to push me to eat what was acceptable to them (pizza or Chinese food-mean while it took me a very long time to break the fast food habit). My closest friends and family are huge supporters and that's all that matters; plus they appreciate that I'm looking after my health since I'm diabetic. I used to try to defend myself, but now I'm just trying to ignore it.

Congratulations on your weight loss and try to ignore the haters. I always say "let your haters be your motivators."

People say I'm OCD when I count my calories and macros, that I'm not "living" or "enjoying" life when I decline some food/dessert, YOLO this YOLO that. Meh, not everyone can eat and drink whatever they want and stay skinny. Some people have to work harder than others. At my age, there's still a large gap =\

But you can't let those people talk you out of your goals.

I haven't had that issue yet, but is it bad that I'd almost welcome animosity from acquaintances on my weight loss? I'd just take that as a victory, that I've changed myself enough to make other people nervous/jealous or whatever goes through their minds.
