Check behind his ears next time - he's probably a little green there from envy.  I think these sort of statements  stem from jealousy.  See it for what it's worth, but don't let his negative comments play with your psyche.  He needs you more than he realizes - you are going to be a terrific support for him when he finally realizes what he needs to do for himself, and somewhere during that process he's going to realize was a bozo he was to you and most likely will apologize,  Which you will probably graciously accept because that's the kind of person you are (so far as I can tell!)  Congratuations on your most awesome and inspiring success.

Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora.  Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.

Leona, you look beautiful, you've worked hard at this, don't let the troll invade your brain space like that.  As my mother always said, don't waste you energy on that person!

you know what?  That sucks!!  You have worked so hard and then this.  Can I share that I have almos the same issue with a few people, all of whom need to lose large amounts of weight.  They now tell me I am too skinny and that I need to stop.  I have stopped and am about 3 pounds from my goal again, but my body feels comfortable here.  So I am okay, it is only a number for me.  But all three of these people admit they need to lose the weight and that the diets they are on now are going to be the ones.  It really hurt for a long time, but then I desided I was once in denial so I felt sorry for them.  I ignore their comments and just try to be supportive of their latest fad diet.  It never gets easier because you know what this was hard and we have earned the right to feel good about ourselves.  I think you look great and I bet he does too, but will not admit it, as that would point out how poorly he is looking and doing.
Chin up girl, you have rocked this and no one can take that away from you.

It is really too bad that he made these comments, what sort of weight loss expert is he then?? He isn't. He's jealous that you've succeeded and he's failed. Even so he could have said wow, great job and changed the subject. I have to admit that I am jealous of a lot of people over a lot of things, but I am not one of those people who let that take over my life and influence how I react.

First, you need this.  

Second, if you ever have another situation with this same person like this, simply say "The last time you made a comment like that, you hurt me.  If you continue to do so, then I don't think we'll be able to see as much of each other.  Now, how are you doing?"

He may be so deep in his own denial that he doesn't even realize he's saying such terrible, hurtful things.  Make him aware and hopefully he'll stop.
