If my friend says these things I wonder what my haters say
As I've been on my weight loss journey these past 8 months, here is a sampling of what a friend of mine has said to me:
"Well, you are thinner but you are certainly not thin".
"You shouldn't wear stripes".
"Everyone can look pretty from the right angle".
"You'll probably weigh less than me soon since you had surgery and I have to work for my weight loss".
She's just a negative person in general. It's hard but some people are just vampires and suck the life right out of you. We've been friends for 6 years but I finally had to terminate the relationship. She just made me uncomfortable and unhappy to be around her.
With friends like that - you don't need an enemy.

"I can eat or do anything I want to - as long as I am willing to deal with the consequences"
"Failure is not falling down, It is not getting up once you fell... So pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again...."
YOU DID THE RIGHT THING. It isn't easy, but sometimes you have to sever the toxicity from your life. If you make yourself a priority and you concentrate on providing the best care possible to yourself, that sometimes means cleansing the bad from your life....and that sometimes means ending counter-productive relationships.
Ending that relationship was a very adult, healthy thing to do! Bravo to you.
One of the joys of getting older (and there aren't too many) is the ability to see life suckers and terminate them!!!!
It took me to my 40's to decide that I wouldn't put up with other people's negativity and crap and boy, does it feel good!!! I'm one snappy, happy 50 year old and if you aren't a cheerleader ummmm buh bye!
Good for you for letting her go - that's probably the easiest 200lbs weight loss you've had since the surgery!
