Default not sweet and caring??

ok, so i am talking to a friend of mine on the phone last night and he goes on to tell me that losing all this weight has changed me and says that i am not really sweet and caring like i use to be...im like WTH?? the only change i see in myself is that now i actually take time for me now instead of doing only for everyone els, before i would never do anything for me and now i feel better about myself and want to take care of myself. am i supose to feel guilty about this? or is there changes in me i dont see? i just dont get it? does he just like me less because i am not the fat friend?? it really hurts my feelings because i have always been very caring for everyone and still feel the same way in my heart...who knows!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Wow....pretty $#i!!y of him to say that! I'm sure you are not different, you are, like you said, just making yourself come second or third...as opposed to fifteenth or sixteenth! It's amazing how people who are supposed to be friends can't accept you when you are doing well. As much as they care about you, they want you to stay just the way you are, and react badly when you change for the better. Let it go....you are doing fabulous!

I think you are right. The difference in us now is that we are taking more time for ourselves. And there is NOTHING wrong with that. Don't feel guilty about it.

I think you're doing fabulous and if you're finally putting yourself up towards the top of your list, then that's great! You're not less caring - you just care more about yourself now!

If you were to them, someone who "made them feel better" and feel that you don't do that now for them, that's their problem, not yours.
((((((HUGS))))) You're doing fine.

Fact is..we do change and it's for the BETTER! We start thinking about ourselves more, not putting everyone ELSE ahead of us..also it seem like we tend to wake up and see that people put us down all the time and used us to make themselves feel better, etc...

you are doing GREAT GREAT GREAT!!! Don't let anyone bring ya down!

I think the confidence we have improves...and that makes others insecure....some people have overweight friends around to make themselves feel/look better...when you lost the weight, you stopped being that for him. He may be trying a new way to push you down to make him feel better about himself....

You keep doing what you're doing and be proud of what you've accomplished!!
