So call friends

You look fantastic girl and you are so right people turn funny at times someone saw me at work recently who I hadn't seen for a few weeks and they told me my face looked drawn and haggard and told me I need to be careful how much more weight I lose. Wouldn't mind but I have a fair few pounds to go yet.Sometimes I think they just say stuff to take you down a peg or two because they are just so jealous of your acheivements and they just have to try to saboutage it so they can have the satisfaction of saying told you it wouldn't last, chin up girl walk tall and proud you are amazing.

Got today work today/tonight and alot of people that have not seen me in a while but heard I lost weight got to see me for the first time not in my obesity stage. Uhm well thought I would get compliments , but NO. I was told I look like a crack head for losing so much weight and for losing it fast. Fast my *kitten* it took me a year and a half to lose 61pds. Then was ask how much more weight was I going to lose I stated 15 more pds oh no that did it. I was told if I do will look like I was dried up crack head. Well I got piss off and walk away from people whom I thought was friends well I guess wrong, because I see now NO their not. So I would like to take the time to THANK all my MFP family who understand my mission. Thanks for the motivation, inspiration, compliments, and being there when lack of confidence was not. MFP family is awesome, fabulous, spectacular, people. THANK YOU.

The moment they said 'you look like a crack head'... you should have LOL'd, smiled and just said the word 'jealous' smiled again and walked away.

Don't rely on other people to give you compliments or make you happy and worthy, it won't happen - people are naturally jealous. Only you & your close loved ones can make you happy. *kitten* everyone else, they will only try to bring you down to their miserable jealous level.

I say love the fact that they're hatin' on you, via the Katt Williams method. If haters ain't got no one to hate on, please, feel free to hate on me. It makes me smile to know that I'm doin' somethin' right to cause such a ruckus over little old me. Suckaz!

And you are doin' a great job. Eff 'em. Brush it off and keep it pushin'.

My sentiments exactly. and i LOVE the Katt Williams reference...

You look beautiful and healthy. I have no idea where they're getting dried up, or crack head. Keep up the fantastic work hun!

Some people just can't be happy for others because they are miserable pieces of crud. You are healthy and beautiful!

I feel your pain on this one girl. When I was at my lowest weight one of my high school friends who has known how I struggled with my weight in high school and the stigma that goes with teen obesity was tripping really hard when I lost weight. I was super morbibly obese in high school so when I opted to have WLS she claimed she was so scared I was going to die. When I had WLS I weighed close to 600 pounds and I was a very high risk too.

I had the surgery in 2004 and in 2006 I had lost about 300 pounds. She told my sister that I was too skinny at about 310!! My sister let her have it. I am tall and at 310 I look like I may weigh 250 or so to most folks but the point is at 310, 250 there is no WAY:noway: I LOOKED TOO SKINNY. If you look at my profile page, the picture with me in the pants is at my lowest weight and as you can see I was not too skinny. But guess what there were others starting to say that to me too and I started to believe it too and I got laccked on my program and sad to say in about 2 to 3 years I had gained 80 pounds back. Other than me knowing my clothes were getting tighter others could not really tell I was gaining until I had gained about 40 pounds.

SO good for you for not listening to the garbage! Many of them are just haters and some of them may actually believe it. But the important thing is do what is best for you and what makes you feel good about you. Forget the nay sayers. I wish I had found MFP sooner because I know I would not have gained those 80 pounds back if I had.

Some of your friends just have to get used to the new you. Seriously, some of them were in shock and just need time to get used to the weight loss, but there are others that are just plain old haters. It took some in my family and even myself to get use to the new me. So give some them time, they may come around......:-)

BTW - Did I forget to say, I looked at your before and after pictures and YOU LOOK GREAT!!!:flowerforyou: and you do not look like a crack head. Keep up the good work and do your thing!!! Drop it like its hot!! and let the haters hate on.:happy:
