I need to vent, and it may be a LONG one....
Rhonda, Your weigt gain is not their fault and your victory over the weight gain is none of their business!! You have done a terrific thing. You are to be admired. If they can't handle it, perhaps you need a time out from them. Not to say cut off years of friendship, but perhaps reevaluate the situation and distance yourself from their obvious short comings in not being able to recognize your accomplishment. They apparently feel they have to be negative...you do not have to be a part of it. Tell them you would be glad to be around them, as long as they don't talk about diet and weight...there is so much more to life to discuss!! I am sorry your friends (?) can't be proud of you....we are!! Diane
Well, I don't see them EVERY day and it's probably been some time since I saw the both of them together. I see more of Lynn than Michelle, and it could very well be that they (or at least Michelle) could be jealous/envious of what I have done. They both were happy for me when I told them in December.
Diet/weight has not been a topic of discussion when we meet. I wanted to do something BEFORE I started having MAJOR health problems. I'm 45 and damn proud of it! Michelle was 'complainig' of having problems with her knees and the doctor told her that she needed to lose weight. DUH??? To me, I would at least try Weigh****chers - they seem to be the most sensible...(FYI - I did WW TWICE)
