Family and Friends

I have noticed since my weight loss has become apparent the change my relationships with family and friends. Family not so much...but friends. My family has been very supportive. My husband very supportive from the time I started this process to now. My children a little skeptical but seem to be enjoying the "new" Mom. My brother never said anything, but I always felt he was skeptical. Now that I am doing well and weight is coming off....he is happy and always has a compliment. My friends at church are changing. The supportive group is the older members (50+). Each week, I get several compliments and hugs from them. The younger group that I normally work with, a little more stand-offish. I had read where family and friend relationships could change, but I never thought how; but now I do. At work, I am the only female in an office of 15 men. They work out on the road, and when they came in for the 4th - most had commented on how much I had changed since they had left. Funny how the men seem more supportive than the women. How have your relationships changed or remained the same. Please post...would like to hear.

Most of my family have been very supportive since I had the surgery. I have had several friends that seem like they are jealous and do not want to have anything to do with me. These are mostly work friends. My true friends that I have had since high school have all been very supportive. Many people will be watching you, even after 3 years I have people watch what I eat, that can get on your nerves too. I have learned to ignore it most of the time. Keep up the good work and enjoy your new life.
