Unsupportive friends :(

You do have friends that motivated you..... we are all here online. And plus they are probably jealous that you such great self disciplin and they don't.

I'm sorry your friends are so unsupportive. Maybe it's time you sat them down and told them it's not okay how they are acting and you you would like their support. If they actually heard how they made you feel they hopefully would stop.

I have the same thing at work. We travel out of town and our company pays for our meals so they get fries, burgers, desserts and other things that I can no longer eat. I was teased at first but after a while when the noticed the change in me (I lost 27 pounds so far) they eased off.
Your friends may just be teasing and mean no harm or do not see how it is effecting you. Just be strong and hold on...You are doing this for yourself and with or without their support you will achieve your goal...

time to get better friends. call them on their crap and tell them that if they were really good friends they would support you and not rip you down. My family is the same way, cant pick family but you can pick friends.

First, uh...you're not fat. Just saying.

Second, tell them to shut up.

Sorry. Maybe that's b****y of me, but seriously, they should not be teasing you. And if it's all in fun...then tell them that only they are having fun and you are NOT!

That's just not okay.

Actually, one of my overweight friends makes fun of me now...saying I'm too small or whatever.

I assume my friend is just jealous and laugh it off...

Tell them honestly how you feel but not right after they make fun of you, tell them before, preferably NOT during a meal. Tell them you've been struggling and they are not helping. Ask what they are trying to accomplish by putting you down:
"Do you want me to stay overweight?"
"Do you want me to fail at achieving a healthier lifestyle?"
"You make me feel like __________, why do you keep doing that knowing it hurts me?"

If the answers are worst than expected. They're not your real friends.

Sounds to me like you need a new circle of friends. . . Truly you need to focus on YOU and what you are doing for yourself. If they are your friends, they will see that you are serious about your quest and become more supportive. In the meanwhile, you have lots of support and friends right here. Stay focused and think about yourself being the skinny friend

Let's face it, women can be *****y with each other. Your friends only say those things to undermine you because they are suddenly seeing you as bigger competition. Take it as a compliment, because they are threatened and looking for a way to cut you down. They may not even being doing it on purpose, because they are your friends after all, but sadly it still happens.

Your friends suck, find new friends. Easier said than done, I know. But to be successful, you do need supportive people that empower you, not ones that try hold you back. Also, I would really suggest you find a way not to compare yourself to them (or anyone). You are getting healthy for YOU... be strong, be fit, and be confident. Confidence turns heads and radiates strength and beauty. And you are so not fat. I am sure you hear that all the time, but you need to believe it! Instead of thinking you are 'fat', start looking at yourself in the mirror and cheering yourself on for every healthy choice you make. Self-talk is the key to remaking yourself. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!

print out what you wrote and show it to them. they might realise how you actually feel.

I'm sorry your friends are being so unsupportive. I have the same thing in my circle of friends. So, I just don't talk about it anymore. I have some good friends who do cheer me on, but they tend to be my online fb friends.

I don't understand why people think that we should allow others to treat us that way? It isn't good natured teasing, and it isn't ok. You don't need toxic people in your life. If they were good friends they never would have been acting that way in the first place. Get rid of them and find genuine sincere people to be your friend. Be more discriminating as to who you let into your life.
I look at it like would you let some guy you were dating treat you that way? If not, then why do you let your supposed friends? Just a thought.

Realistically, you're probably not going to make new friends, because you don't feel like you need to. While I understand, great friends will have your back. I'm kind of in your same position right now. However, I'm not looking to ditch all my jealous pals. Subconsciously, yes, they want a "fat friend" Trust me on that. Second. do NOT discuss your lifestyle with them. It opens the door for too much criticism. It's just not worth it. Just keep focusing on yourself and use MFP to discuss your goals/struggles/accomplishments. Good luck!

Get new friends!

I would tell them how they are making you feel and explain how important being healthy is to you. IF they cannot except that and find ways to be supportive and helpful then unfortunately they are not your "friends" and the best thing you could do is put them on a different friend shelf.

My sisters and I refer to shelves when it comes to friends, there's the top shelf where they are the helpful, always there, etc..., middle shelf where they are there for you but ...... and then there is the bottom shelf, those are the friends to just have fun with when with others, but not those that you want around you all the time.

It helps sometimes to visualize sometimes, its just easier to realize for us atleast that its ok, they can still be our friend but they just cannot be top shelf friends. They all start out top shelf, but as the friendship grows you realize what type of friend they are and not all friends are going to be the same type of friend you are, its what keeps life interesting!

Good luck with you weight-loss and health journey, I am positive you are going to be very successful especially with your MFP friends/family
