That awkward moment when...

Everyone starts to realize you're no longer the fat friend :smile:

After seeing so many horror stories on here about catty, unsupportive female friends when it comes to weight loss, I was very pleasantly surprised to find that this was not the case for me.

All throughout high school, I was always the shortest, fattest, and least attractive of all my girlfriends. I've also never had much of a sense of style, which obviously didn't help much.

Since college started, a few of them have put on some weight, and I've been steadily losing. They're still gorgeous, mind you, because all of the extra lbs seem to have gone to all of the right places, but I'm finally starting to realize I'm not the bigger friend any more.

Specifically last night, we all had a girls night and we all got in bathing suits to go swimming (which used to be mortifying for me), and my friends and my friend's mother would not stop raving about the weight I lost and how fantastic I look and how proud of me they are :smile:

I guess I just consider this somewhat of a NSV since it's one thing to not be the fat friend, but it's quite another to be able to see it.

    Awww, this is so nice! Well done to you for making such excellent progress. I'm glad you're getting positive feedback.

    My friends have been lovely as well. In fact, even some of the people I haven't got along very well with have been complimentary to me.
