u not alone we r all friends here,I experience the exact same thing with my cousin who is also, my best friend she wants the surgery but her insurance does not cover it,so she started saying negative things to me like u going to look good with ur clothes on, but when u take them off it will look bad with that excess skin, so I did her one better I told her she looks bad now with her clothes on and off, if its the excess skin I was worry about I can have that taken care of as well, its about me feeling good n being heathy for me she's upset that she cant get healthy,so now when we talk she just ask how much weight have u lost I tell her I dont weigh myself n I wont until I see results, but in reality I know how much Ive lost I just rather not discuss it with her,we dont talk as much anymore thats her lost not mine, so dont u feel bad it will be those people in the end that will wish they were u. Good Luck!!!!:thumbup:
