It can't all have come off my face!

[Indigo1991 1,612]

If my friend tells me one more time how much weight she thinks I have lost off my face, I will scream.

I have lost 25lbs since op six weeks ago and 17lbs prior to that, a grand total of three stones, with the same again to go. I am delighted.

But every time we meet, she only comments on how well I am doing by referencing how thin my face is....but never mentions the fact that I am 3-4 clothes sizes smaller! I am close to shouting at her next time IT CAN'T ALL HAVE COME OFF MY FACE!!!

Then she goes on about her need to lose 8lbs... maybe I should comment "if that's going to come off your face, how much are you aiming for off your body?" but I don't think she'd get the irony

:-(((((

Thanks for listening....

LOL.. You must have one of those faces that really changes with weightloss. I think we all have friends who don't think about what they're saying.. Sometimes we'll never know why people say the crap they do. Some people are honestly clueless.. And yet, some people have a motive for the gibe they send our way. I totally understand your rant.

Thanks, was beginning to think I was being overly sensitive As a 50 something don't want my face to collapse and I am never sure if that's what she's hinting at...

However, as can sometimes be the case, if I behaved like this to her, she would get really upset. Oh well, seeing her tomorrow to get a face update, lol.

Sounds like a friend of mine going on about how much weight she's gaining during her pregnancy and how much she hates it...today I told her "It's hard to muster any sympathy when I still weigh 70 more pounds than you." I don't even have the luxury of attributing my chunkiness to a human growing inside me.

Since I read this post I keep thinking of my friend who is not only a perfect 10 in every way.. She's nice! But she's clueless to how her remarks are taken. She was telling me she quit chewing gum because she heard it bloats your body and makes you look fat. Seriously?

[Indigo1991 1,612]

Couldn't agree more - it's a baby not weight gain. Grrrrrr! Ha ha

WooHoo

congrats

42 lbs down, gone, flush down the toilet

I don't "think" your friend is meaning to be unkind

some people just don't realize what they are saying

ignorance is bliss????

i'm in my 50's too - but i'm not gonna tell you that i'm 59

ooooops i think i just said it

alas my loose skin is definitely there

just kindof hangin' around

but........i'd rather have a little excess skin in my face - than llllots of fat around my body

your friend complains that she needs to lose 80 lbs???

tell her the first 75 lbs she loses will be in her face

nawwwww - just tell her that the weight comes off different parts of your body

there is no definiate one place where the weight leaves at first

the weight loss in your face will show frequently at first as your losing weight

but my goodness - losing all that other weight - and she doesn't comment on anything but your face???

sorry about that

i'm here to tell you that i see in your beautiful eyes that you look terrific alllll over

don't let her or anyone else get you down

you know whats going on, thats all that counts

keep being a winner by losing

continued good luck

keep up the great job
