I had TT  and Butt lift on May 25th.  Now alot of Friends and CoWorkers are jealous of my size. I still weigh 180 and am 5'7" I look good but it irritates me to think they can't handle my weight loss. I have never in my life been thin. I weighed 125 in 2nd Grade. always the picked on fat kid. Why can't people be happy that for once in my life I get to experiance"Skinny". 

Just had to Vent.

Hey Tommi --

First - CONGRATULATIONS!  You worked HARD to get what you have now, and if others are jealous, it is because they lack the will & strength it took to get you where you are, now.

We all on here have probably lost & gained weight so many times, we have lost track of how much. We all know "human nature,"  I am guilty of being jealous, but I am also aware of this bad behavior.  As long as you are not taunting others, than you have every right to receive an "Atta Girl" for getting the body you have now.

It is hard to see someone else celebrating, when you are feeling defeated.  Maybe that is why you are getting the "looks".  I am personally worried about current friends being upset with my choice to not stay the "fattest" in my group.  It will happen, it has in the past, but this time I am prepared for it. 

When someone gives you a sour look, take a look at that person.  Do they have a better or worse life than you?  Putting in perspective others feelings might make you feel sorry for them.

i agree with you all the way. i've recently had two people tell me i look "skeletal"...wtf? i'm just barely in the normal bmi range. i'm certainly not skeletal. i don't understand why anyone would make such a comment to me. and it really ticks me off. some people should just shut up.

Tommi,

I just wanted to congratulate you on losing weight and looking great.

I understand about always having been fat.  I was 100lbs at 5, so I get it.

Just ignore their craziness and celebrate the new you!
