Just a question. At my support group meeting, they discussed that you should be prepared for losing some of your friends. I thought, really? Well I have a friend who I have seen twice since surgery. The first time, we were at a mutual friends anniversary party. She came in and the first thing she said was you need to go get some new clothes and walked away. First of all she said this in front of EVERYBODY and the top I had on was slightly big, but two sizes smaller than what I had been wearing and I was excited that I could fit into it since the last time I put it on, I couldn't get it over my hips. It was not overly huge by any means.
The second time I saw her, we met for breakfast with another mutual friend. Their hubbies came along (mine couldn't). She comes in and says,"you look good, what problems do you have?"WHAT? I say none and she just replies with an Oh. We all order our food and I got a side of canadian bacon and a small bowl of fruit. Of course, I can't finish the entire side of canadian bacon or fruit. Everyone finishes their food and I asked for a box. She makes a scene by saying, I didn't eat enough to survive on and that I was starving myself. My friend who is a nurse, spoke up and said, she ate plenty, she is just starting out. Hoping our friend would just drop it but she continued to cast unwanted attention on me with comments about what I had eaten. Then when she finally finished and people were really uncomfortable, she turns around and ignores me!
Is this the beginning of the end or will this all blow over when I get to my goal weight and she gets used to seeing me this way? I don't get it!
Have you lost friends because of your weight loss?
