Jealousy from others?

[JustJovi 7]

I have only told my husband and mother (and a few select friends) about my surgery. I'm one month post op and over all have lost 35 lbs.

My husband's family (i see them VERY often, weekly) doesn't know about my surgery.

He has an aunt that has always been very jealous of me and is the definition of a "hater" or a "friendemey" friend / enemy

She's very very over weight and always says she wants to lose weight (i recently found out she was considering WLS about a year ago). Anytime I've lost weight in the past, she's very jealous. She doesn't SAY things, but it's obvious by her lack of compliments or any comments at all about how different i look. Plus you can see it all over her face and then she'll start dieting or exercising for a few days.

Now that I've gotten my VSG, she once again hasn't commented on my weightloss. Her husband has and her mother has too, but she refuses to even give me a compliment.

Prior to my surgery i was so concerned about how it would make her feel when i started losing weight but honestly, i did this for me. Not for anyone else.

My point is, let people be jealous. Let them fester in their own envy. That's their problem. You're finally making yourself happy and that's all you should focus us. Enjoy it!!!! Don't let them ruin it for you, that's what they want! They're just jealous they didn't have the balls to do it themselves.
