Diva vs. b***h

[abranewme 98]

It so true how when overweight we have to be UBER FUNNY OR CHARMING or up our fashion sense and makeup skills to get respect and sometimes approval granted to someone just naturally beautiful and skinny!

I know just how you feel.

I was worried about losing my image as an old looking, heavy breathing, jolly fat guy.

Now I am a not so old looking, easy breathing, happy but not jolly skinny guy.

Image, meh.

I always hated playing Santa anyway, and I hated being asked.

Gman...you can be MY Santa any day...

:wub:

I take diva & b***h each as compliments, but I've never been called a diva! lol . . .all women have various connotations with each word . . .just be you & you'll be fine!

You won't change, but your relationship with your friends might. When you are the 'big girl' you are a 'safe' person to your friends. When you lose weight they might see you as more of a threat - with your wonderful, great personality and confidence, possibly a triple threat. I know because previously I lost 100 pounds and my women friends treated me differently. I went through counseling for this.

I find this very interesting, I remember it was either in my evaluation with the psychologist or the psychiatrist that I was asked if there was any reason I should think that I would be met with jealousy from friends during my weight loss journey..I didn't understand why there should be a problem but with what you just explained, it makes complete sense to ask that question.
