Default Vent...sorry

So, I haven't been here for awhile - sorry, but I've been out trying to get back into a routine with work/exercise. Still haven't gotten there, but I'm getting closer.

Here's my vent - you may remember that my so-called best friend ditched me right after I said I was having surgery. Whatever...However, today was the first day I've actuall come face to face with her...AWKWARD!

She looks at me and tells me that I look great - am I getting used to eating differently? ETC - WTF??? IT's like we haven't talked in a week, not 15 months...

Just needed to RANT - sorry about that...You'd all be very proud of me - I held a conversation with her and was pleasant - trying to take the high road..

Aimee

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.

There's a huge difference between civility and trust. She showed her true nature when you needed her the most. I think civility is enough for her - trust is earned!!

Good for you Girl. No need in telling her anything about the way she acted. She already knows and you know who your true friends are.
stay positive and keep a smile on your face.
You are doing a great job
Big hugs♥

I agree with CT Aimee, trust is earned but it is possible that she just had a crazy, jealous moment whatever, there's always a chance people take the wrong road and we should be able to welcome them back if they then take the right road. Just saying maybe she deserves a second chance but of course it's up to you.

With friends like that, who needs enemies? Fortunately we can choose our friends, but we can't choose our children or other relatives. Just be civil and sickeningly sweet, and you will come out the better person.

Trust but verify, ya'll remember that. I'm with Bela, maybe she just doesn't know how to apologize. She was your best friend after all.
Honestly, I would not let her back in to my circle, which happens to be me and my R and R family plus a few people at my school. I think that is because I am not worried about how people view me. If I tell you something and your first reaction is to tell me how wrong and stupid I am, I really don't want to spend anymore time around you.

Good for you!!! Thats showing her! And yes, she knows she did you wrong, and yes, maybe she doesnt know how to apologise or repair the un-repairable.... Even if you did become friendly with her again, you will deep down know that you couldnt trust her when times get tough. I am so glad you saw her now though. It shows the strength you have gained and it prob brought it home to her how well you have done despite (or should that be INspite??lol) her abandoning you.

Keep up the great job you are doing! It has obviously changed you, and its all for the good
