oh jealous women...let them stew over it. it's their issue please don't let them take away your feeling of accomplishment! I have had more than one person try to say something snide to me, and I just let it roll off my back. I can't be responsible for anyone but myself and my actions. If those women want to be hateful, it's on them. Now if they start being straight up cruel to you, then I'd bring out a can of whoop a$$!

ha ha ha, I love it.

I agree with all the other posters. Jealousy can be a very, very hurtful thing to everyone involved.

80 lb in 8 months is absolutely incredible! I would LOVE to know how you did it?????? Do you have a blog or anything?

How horrible.

It's such a shame that these women are flapping their gums when they should truly be using their mouths to ask you for advice & support on their own journey, since they are so obviously jealous.

Just keep doing your thing & being sweet.

Oh boy! that is so mean and I am sorry it happened to you.

This thread got me thinking, is this something fairly common? Do a lot of us have that to look forward to when we lose a significant amount of weight and look very different from what we look like now? I would like to think people would be happy for me, but I can't be 100% sure.

Have many of you encountered something like that too?

That's just plain mean- some people just can't be happy for others- I always say those people have the "evil eye" and you should stay the heck away from them.

Though if I were you I'd have turned around, stared right at them and said "stop looking at me, I know you have a huge crush on me, but I don't swing that way."

lol- not that I have a problem with gays or lesbians- but people like that usually get offended when you insinuate they are in love with you

Newshinyme, I haven't run into any of that myself. If I did, I'd just sic Jay on them, lol! Mostly, either people don't seem to notice (lol), or they just have positive things to say, and want to know how I did it. Of course, for the last bunch, they are usually disappointed when I say, "calorie counting and exercise." It's like they want to hear that there's some miracle pill or diet they haven't heard of yet...?

Love it! I was going to say what deathnotronic said....LOL You said you don't flaunt it, but I'm thinking it about time you do....Super-sized flaunt!!

I have heard a few rumors about my weight loss that suck. One girl told a good friend that she will not get jealous of me because I'll gain it all back after awhile. (Which I might if I follow the same path as last time). Another small town rumor is that I secretly had wls. (Which I haven't, but did research at one time) The best one though is I'm looking for a new lover...LOL Give me a break! As if I want, (or have time) to have double the $ex...

Have you tried just flat-out asking them why they're behaving that way? I'm always curious about how people justify their behavior.

Why the **** can't these women support others' and lift them up instead of making themselves feel better by slapping them down?
My God it is such hard work, and a life commitment that is difficult to keep up with don't they know that?
Obviously they have self esteem issues themselves, and instead of getting advice and intelligent information from you to fix it, they want to be haters.
Try not to let it bother it bother you too much girls, you look fabulous!

I admire your ability to handle this with dignity!

I have such a horrid temper and a general lack of impulse control -- I cannot imagine how I would react.
