do you find anyone jealous of your success?

Its always funny...
Cause when you lose a few pounds they are all excited for you, and what you have done.

But then when you drop a lot, and start getting in really good shape (i.e. look good naked)....
Then they start throwing back handed remarks/insults at you.

Shake things up a bit... Do stuff around the house (chores) naked... And yes this is for anyone in this thread

LOL
I do plenty of chores around the house...
Shirtless, not naked though.

I have gotten a lot of grief from family/friends/loved ones.

Mainly my wife.....

I have gotten to the point where I just ignore.....and do my thing.

really? your wife?

Yeah, I have gotten...
Put your shirt back on, no wants to see that

Your waist is to small.

No husbands waist should be smaller than his wifes...

It's no fun eating with you....so and so's boyfriend is a lot more fun to eat with....

and other things have been said....

Sounds like your wife has issues about the fact you are in better shape than she is! If only my husband would do chores
shirtless. I'd be in heaven!

Sounds like OP's partner is also insecure about weight loss. It's normal to have feelings when your partner makes changes, and I guess it can take a while to get used to them, but they either get over it or they don't.

I always think those really negative comments like - "you're getting hot to leave me for someone else" tend to come true because they end up driving you away with their constant stream of exhausting negativity. So if you love him, I hope that he snaps the hell out of it!

I rarely get direct comments about my weight, but I do get hit with a lot of snide remarks made to the room, you know the ones - "I LOVE my curves, so does my husband, what is it they say? Only dogs go for bones!". Cue loaded glances in my direction. I've heard it all about sticks being horrible to snuggle, "real" women having curves etc. I just hear a "whoosh" now as they go right over my head.

Agree.

I had dealt with the jealousy aspect... They feel like you are leaving them behind... That you are doing it for reasons other than wanting to feel better and be better...They feel your working out to look for a new mate...
I will say I tried to include them, wanting them to join me in getting healthier... But they wanted nothing to do with it because it was too hard... I will say that over time, you can only reassure them so much... They will either believe you or they wont... If they choose not to believe you (ie... TRUST you)... It will certainly be the demise of the relationship as one day you will just have had enough of proving yourself over and over (Been there, done that, got the T shirt...
Good luck to all...

I have a nasty female coworker who makes comments about my eating, food habits, and logging. She has also been nasty and condescending about other aspects of my life, so it's just her being a nasty person in general. She's junk-food thin. As in, she will brag about skipping breakfast and lunch, whine about being hungry at 2 pm, and eat a bag of chips.

Well, having your partner be jealous is definitely something you have to talk through. Jealousy is almost always due to insecurity. My sister joked that I looked like a *kitten* when she saw me Mother's day, and it hurt my feelings. But I realize she's jealous, and I just need to let it go.

(Please don't get outraged, lesbians reading this. I have lesbian friends who would be hurt by the same thing!)

Thats to bad you should just show him you are not looking for another mate after a year it will pass once he relizes this is just ur new lifestyle now.and hitns still together....maybe try to inclued him!

I have helped a close friend lose weight last year by tracking and exersice YET we are at a party some girl comments on how "tiny" i am and its b/c i dont have kids. I said oh no I am a proud mama and my friend whom i helped lose weight jumps in and says oh she(me) is "just naturaly skinny and always has been"! I kept my mouth closed but that hurt since she knows how much work and time goes into tracking, making good choices and working out is. It still buggs me and hurts me to this day.

Since this is ur man you better exsplain to him how to makes you feel when he is not supportive and listen to him on why he feels the way he does. good luck!
