Told a frenemy
Im the same, speak my mind and I dont think I will change.
Im sure ppl will say I have once Im smaller but I have no problem pointing it out I alway said what I thought.
Im hoping my anger issued will decrease when I lose the weight actually. Tired of always be on the defense and waiting for another rude comment, look or judgment.

I never went out in public without being certain that everyone else was staring at me and was judging me, and making snide remarks to their friends. That feeling that I was always the centre of negative attention has finally gone away just recently, and I am sure it will for you too. Also, it's only natural to get angry at people when they are rude, unkind, etc.

In my humble opinion you should have told that lady to stfu! Next time you see her, just walk away she's just poison and not worth your time!
I have been lucky that so far to my face everyone has been amazing and so so supportive. Anyone who isn't in favour hasn't said much and that's for the best really;)

Bella, you are so super sweet tho.. who couldnt be nice to you. hehe
Dont worry. I really didnt take it on. My eyes popped cause I couldnt believe her "balls' to say it.
I laughed about it with my best friend later.
Was just wondering what others got for reactions.

This woman sounds like she has some SERIOUS issues of her own to work thru and that your struggles / journey has NOTHING to do with her.
Whatever struggles you face, where the love and support comes from will shock you every time. It never comes from where you expect it.
I am still pre-op, waiting for info, but I am preparing myself for the inevitable comments, disrespect, ignorance... whatever. At the end of the day this is about you (me), your (my) journey, your (my) fight, your (my) reasons. PERIOD.
I believe we will change but the extent is up to us.
Congratulations on doing everything you're doing to make yourself healthier! Keep it up!
Thanks hun.
congrats to you for starting the journey!!
Its gonna be an amazing one I'm sure

Whoa! What a toxic person! It sounds like you were right in limiting your contact with her and I'm surprised she felt comfortable enough to talk to you like that.
Change? I hope you do!
In my journey since my RNY in June I've become happier, more confident and have become to love me as a person overall. I'm more outgoing because of it and new people that I meet always comment on how easy I am to talk to and that I look amazingly young for my age at 58.
Look forward to living life instead of being on the sideline.
Here's to your future success but especially the NSVs!
It's like tasting freedom after being bound for so long.
