worried friends

I'm dealing with this very thing with my husband. Of course he is still wishing I was the same person as last year that would go out to eat with him every night because he was bored. I don't want that lifestyle again and is why I changed. Now he's facing losing one of his jobs because of his weight but only seems to be getting mad at me because I am losing. Truth is he isn't eating right (eats mcdonald's every night) and never works out. I too would love advice on how to work around this. Tired of the constant fighting from this.

Hmmm, could it be jealousy????

grrr my friend is worried that i'm not eating enough so keeps trying to feed me up

it's so annoying i've done really well and lost 20 lbs quite quickly but is slowing down now so she thinks i'm going anarexic.

i dont know what to say cause when she invites(demands) me over for dinner the portion sizes are to big i can barely eat a 1/4

i've spent so much hard work shriking my stomock so i'm not hungry ALL THE TIME. the last thing i want to do is stuff myself so full every few days that i have to go through weeks of feeling starving all over again

Considering you only joined in Feb, a 20lbs loss is immense? Or had you lost some of this weight prior to joining??

You cannot have lost 20lbs in a little over 2 weeks??? (eeek!)

Unless you are underweight, then these people are worrying unnecessarily.

They may be jealous, and uncomfortable with your changes. Perhaps they feel guilty. You're losing weight and getting in shape while they're not.

Tempting you to "fall off the fitness wagon" means you’re "normal" again, and they can feel good about the status quo.

Or they don’t understand. They’ve never had a weight problem and just don’t realize how hard you’ve worked to get where you are. They think it’s "silly" for you to worry about what you eat.

Most importantly, perhaps they miss the old you. Maybe you’re spending more time in the gym and have less free time for them. Maybe they’re afraid to lose you.

Be an adult about this. Remember that what you put in your mouth is your responsibility. Your health is important to you. You’re in charge of your own life.

I know how that goes. I got to my suggested body weight 128 lbs from nearly 200 lbs after my full program. And everyone was so critical on how fast the weight was off or how I din't eat or how they din't want to invite me out or over because I was on my diet. I stoped going to my sister in-law because she was so negative about the program I was using I heard nonstop stories on how everyone gains the weight back double or die because of a diet. I knew I looked pregnant and no friend family member or co worker ever told me how you could die from being fat. Shopping and eating with the fat girl was ok, but when I started the battle no one wanted to be fully suportive. Most people mean well I guess but never realize how hurtfull the can be. Weight loss seems to be a cult to them, you feel every opinion is against your success. Keep your goals, keep your spirit up. Talk about how you really feel to them when they say somenthing about your weight loss. Ask them to join you. I was just able to make new friends that lost weight with me and we kept intouch for a year now. I did regain 30lbs and now going at it again more knowlegable about how to do it las time it cost me about $400 month then now my budget is smaller and am trying to keep my progres slow. I look forward to hearring your success story. God Bless!
