Hi!
Since this thread is already out there...what the heck! I’ll post a part 2!
I am losing friends too over dieting. I am getting a little bit bitter about it!!!!!!!!!!!! First of all, ALL OF MY FRIENDS ARE SKINNY and have never gone on diets!!!!!!!!! I am tired of being the " Fat -motherly-wise one they all come crying too!! I find that on medifast, it is way 2 hard to socialize a lot! That's fine with me, because I know it's temporary! What I don't understand is why the moment I want to get rid of this burdening mass of fat...all these skinny friends are like doubling the amount of let's go out invitations. One called me over for dinner, I told her...I am on a diet and I can only have a lean a green. I show up and she got LAMB????????????????? and a salad with bacon on it. I refused the lamb, told her it was rather fatty and asked her if I could steam a cup of broccoli and dumped it in some light broth and had a light veggie soup. Well she asked me flat out??? When will you be done with this diet?? You're not fun when you diet! EXCUSE ME????????????????? I had to bite my tongue! Why even argue with an 118lbs woman who's never been on a diet??? She walks around in cutsie outfits and I’ve got rolls all over and I am tired of not being the person I am meant to be because of a body frame of 230 lbs!!!!!!!!!! The nerve of her I thought. I was mad within myself because, I felt like she and the remainder of my friends want me to remain the fat mummy gives us men advice one! NO!!!!!!!!! No more! I want those jeans they wear and those high heels 2.
Some of them are even ruthless!!!!!!! One sent me an email after I turned down 5 happy hours and some other night outing.. She said, I was becoming boring and losing my spunk.
Of course, she's another 125lbs chick. I told her, I was unhealthy, overweight and needed to step back in order to lose some weight and I’ll be back to hang. Her reply was " Oh Nelly...you are beautiful just the way you are!!" Beauty ISN”T THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!! I am pretty and feel Pretty BUT I DON”T WANT THE 230lbs anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cut me a break!!!!!!!! Is it I or some women really don't want to see another women achieve something good???? At this rate I'll be at my goal of 133lbs by end of April and I'll have NO FRIENDS left because I am too boring to guzzle martinis every Friday night and no fun because I can’t have low fat dessert which contains 0 fat but 150 grams of carbs.
I am going to remain on Medifast till all the weight is gone.... but ...it's lonely out there and getting lonelier! I wish someone could explain to me the psychology of what other feel when you choose to change!!! I am still a happy go lucky wanna hangout chick. BUT I WANT THE FAT TO BE GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOWWWWWWWWWW!
Why can’t my friends understand that? I am open for any advice!
Thank you guys!
