i sooo feel the same way. i too have "friends" that i talk to and i so get the feeling that i'm not really apart of the group. i do believe that it is my weight that sets me apart from them. i just think how are they going to treat me after i lose all my weight? i think that if they treat me better after i lose the weight then i'll be mad at them, then i'm no better than they are.
