Small people telling you they are "jealous"

 Snort.  I am so not amused by this.  My bosses wife, who also works at the company has made a few comments along the lines of "Wow, Im going to try the liquid diet" and today "Wow, I am jealous!".  She is very pretty, and has a great figure.  So after this comment, I said "Well then, you are going to be way more jealous before I am done!".  I am tired of telling her things like "I only did the liquid diet because I HAD to." and "I would much rather not have to have had surgery to lose the weight I needed."  People!

It's an old saying but bares repeading: Don't let the turkeys get you down!
And another one by Judge Judy: Beauty fades, but stupid is forever.

People are buttholes. I dont know why they think that making comments about weight are appropriate.

 I think that's kind of along the same line as thin people telling you not to lose too much weight or worrying that you'll get to skinny.  Really now?  Like do I not deserve to be thin?  I have had people tell me things along the line of "well X size would be good for you."  hmmm.  As in a fat could never could and certainly never should be their size?!  At least that's how I take it when I'm unhappy with them.

At my work, I have people telling not to lose anymore weight.  They don't want me to be too thin, (really).  At lunch time they walk and complain about being a couple of pounds overweight.  But, if I lose anymore weight I might be too thin, I weigh 185.  When they tell me things like that, I just smile and walk away.

They are all a bunch of idiots.   Who cares what they say?  You have done a wonderful thing for yourself.  Some people don't want you to look good so they feel better about themselves.  I just smile and move on :o) jeani

 I get it all the time now! some of my closest friends have said they need to catch up to me and they weigh less than me by like 40 pounds.. WTF?! I keep telling them there is nothing to be jealous of because they did not NEED to lose this much weight or have this surgery so they should feel good about themselves.. its just something about them seein us transform into who we are now..

 It's just so strange. I agree,  I guess it's because we were big,and now we are smaller - and it's pretty quick and perhaps more dramatic.  But, I'm barely getting started!  I just know I am going to get the "you don't need to lose anymore" comments - because I always look smaller than I am.  That's going to be irritating, because next people will think I did the reverse and have another eating disorder, LOL.  I mean, I was in a size 10 at around 175 pounds, and my "ideal" weight is between about 125 - 150 (what a range).  Ai yi yi..

I have a male friend that is MAYBE 15 pounds overweight if he's just eaten a cow. He keeps telling me he's jealous of me getting the surgery, and I want to hit him!
