maybe i can't do this.....

J-E-A-L-O-U-S???????????? Don't let her get to you....YOU know that you've been doing well. You are watching your calories and you're doing it! It's not a fluke. You're working hard and it's paying off......Sorry that she's feeling that way. Too bad that you can't be an inspiration to her......:flowerforyou:

Prove it to your best friend then that you CAN do this.
And I don't think there is anything wrong with crying. I was crying all night the other night.

Maybe you need to get some tough skin now....show up your friend and tell yourself that you are going to prove your friend wrong and that you will lose your desired weight.

Then later on you can throw it in her face (friendly of course) that she really let you down and made you feel bad about yourself and well lookie what I did... I look slammin'!!

And no one is fooling themselves in this game of life. We just have to play by the rules, have fun and know what to cheat.

I've lost aabout 8 lbs this month, too. And my last baby will be 4 in May! Be proud of yourself! Don't let her get you down. It can be done! Congrats on passing on the chips! I totally blew my 1200 calories on Sunday!!!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA THERE MAMA!!!!!
Who are you doing this for? YOU!
Who is the one who looks back in the mirror everyday? YOU
Who is the one who feels better, looks better and wants to go all the way with this? YOU
DON'T let someone else dicate your life and destroy your want and NEED to be healthier!
I think your "best friend" needs to keep her mouth shut and if she can't say anything positive, she shouldn't say anything at all!
Sorry for being so harsh but no one has the right to put doubt in your mind about what you are trying to accomplish.
You able to do this and you WILL stick to it and you WILL be successful.
Does your friend need to loose afew pounds? If so, get her to join you and be a team!
Hang in there girlfriend..........you can do this! PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP!!!

You can do it, but I believe that you do need to ask yourself that very hard question: what IS different this time?

First off, you have this terrific community to turn to. See how many other things you can come up with, and I think that that will really strengthen you!

:flowerforyou:

Let me guess. Either she is overweight, and misery loves company....or she's skinny and she likes having that friend who is overweight because she thinks it makes her look better.

I have had friends who try to sabotage my weight loss for both of these reasons. PLEASE don't let her discourage you. Sometimes in our search to find our true selves and become the best and healthiest we can be, we will lose relationships along the way. Keep your mind on the relationships you will gain along the way, most importantly, the relationship with yourself and your healthier body! That is the way I choose to look at negativity when thrown my way. Good luck.

Sorry you need a new friend......... she has issues and YOU dont need her

Regardless of WHY you are losing weight, at least you ARE losing. Keep up whatever you're doing and don't let it bother you. Find someone who will support you, not just say they support you. It has worked for me to have someone there to help me along. Keep up the good work, and when you reach your goal, she'll be eating her words. :laugh:

Yeah what everyone has said here.
People like “your friend” really chap my chicken. You need to find yourself another friend. A real friend would never say things like that to you.
She is jealous in the worst way. She is angry that she gained the weight back she had lost and wants you to fail as well.
Never let someone like that have that kind of control over you. You do what you know you need to do and forget her.
I had someone smart off at me telling me that I was too thin. She was sitting there on a butt the size of Texas that was pouring over both sides of her chair. I told her that I was right where my doctor said I should be so I would listen to him and not her.
She is always talking about losing weight but never does. She is just getting bigger and bigger. She always has something negative to say to me and I zing her back. I forget what she has said and never let it bother me. I just consider the source. I don’t go around her if I can help it.
I lost both of my parents 8 years ago yesterday in an automobile accident so I understand your feelings there. (I weighed over 300 pounds when they died) I have very little family left. All my family can fit in my van comfortably. My van seats 7.
Forget her and prove her wrong. Make her eat her words.
You CAN do this and you will. :flowerforyou:

Read what you wrote and pretend someone else did. What advice would you give them? Would you tell them, they should just give up because of soemthing a "friend" said? OR, would you help them to notice that they have lost 8lbs in one month and passed on junk food on Superbowel Sunday!!! Very hard to do, Keep up the great work, and try not to let friends discourage you. Sometimes they may think that if your body changes, that means you will change. Assure them that is not that case, and ask your best friend to offer support, because you will continue to lose weight if you keep up the good work and don't let words affect you. STAY STRONG!!!

You could easily lose a couple hundred pounds really quick by dumping this so called "friend." :bigsmile:

I LOVE this. LOL!

Don't you dare think maybe you can't do this. When you were a little girl and you first learned to tie your shoes, did you succeed on your first try? When you first learned to ride a bike was you successful on your first try? Did you learn to count or say your abc's the first time you tried? I could come up with any number of things you accomplished throughout your life that took a few or a bunch of tries before you succeeded. Well losing weight is no different. Remember, if at first you don't succeed, try try again. You have so much support on this website that as long as you keep coming back here, we're not going to allow you to quit. So congratulations on your weight loss and keep up the good work. We're so proud of you. :flowerforyou:
