Thanks for posting this experience and I hope that venting helped you feel at least a little bit better. I too have only disclosed to a handful of people as I don't want to hear all of the questions, jokes or looks. This forum can be your friends and supporters while on this journey. Women are the worst at trying to feel better about themselves by putting others down-it's terrible. Just think how they will feel when you are the hottest one in the room! You'll have the last laugh! But seriously, avoid putting yourself in those situations and limit socializing with toxic people as much as possible. Surround yourself with those that bring you up, not down! You're worth it!

Oh honey, it's stories like yours that saddens me; our worst enemy sometimes is not ourselves, but rather those around us! Like those that posted before me, it is absolutely important that 'you do you!'

Since my losing the weight I sense the attitude changes (and not in a good way) of other heavier woman around me. They will stop talking to you, you will catch the catty glares, and the sideways comments. You will know it's nothing other than jealousy, afterall we are the same person, just smaller and healthier.

Just remember you sure can't please everybody --only yourself!
