So, since i have lost about 25 lbs... (my tracker says 21, but my weigh-in day is tues!) people are starting to notice...I'm happy about that but I have had a couple people tell me "oh man, you're going to be skinnier than I am pretty soon" And it seems like they are almost upset about it? Has anyone else ever experienced something like this?

Honestly, It kind of offends me. Like, I know I am fatter than you, but do you really have to tell me that? I don't know....Seems like when you're successful at something, someone's always either genuinely happy for you, or they're jealous....

I know the one friend who told me that really wants to lose weight, but she just hasn't tried yet. I'm not that much fatter than her anyway...our fat is just in different places, my legs are skinny compared to my stomach, boobs and arms and her legs and hips are fat compared to her waist. So whatever.

So i don't know. Makes me think that some of my friends are hanging out with me because I am fatter and it makes them look better...Heard of girls doing that!! lol. Naw, that's not the case but i just had to kind of rant about it. thanks for listening!

    I think most people are truly trying to be supportive and they just don't think long enough before they speak. Try to take it in a positive light - They Noticed!

    I totally get this, it's why I wanna lose weight so badly. I hate being the biggest out of my group of friends. I want to see there faces when I start looking smaller then them. Oh the panic attacks they will have :D

    i know exactly what you mean but think about it, once they start showing their true colors then you'll know who was genuinely your friend from the start. Sometimes you just gotta let people go or they will bring their negativity into your life. Other than that, dont worry about them you're doing great and you've worked too hard to have people rain on your parade.
