Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I have people at work tell me all the time they notice a difference inmy attitude. But it's a positive thing. They say they can see I'm a lot more confident. Not nearly as shy. :-) No one has ever said anything negative about the change tho.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I definitely understand where you are coming from there. I have gotten positive comments and that is definitely a good thing. I got really irritated with my mom at Thanksgiving because she said that it looked like I was gaining weight and really was not and when I went back to the doctor last week and was weighed, then she started bragging on me, so go figure.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Some people can't handle when we get thin. I guess we are supposed to stay the " fat friend " forever. Without food to stuff down my emotions, I too find that I am more confident and stand up for myself. People have a hard time with change... > Sorry ita taken so long to get back to you guys.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 I am finding that it is an emotional adjustment for everyone. People get used to you being one way and now that you are changing, they have a tuff time with it. I get lots of support from all my family and friends, however, some of my family when I go back to see them next year is not going to know how to react. I am a different person then I left, better, more confident, loving of myself, etc... but it will be interesting to see how they react. I have kept them in mind during this process and try to keep them as much informed as possible, but you just have to be who you want to be and do what you want to do, all will work out for the best. lisamathis76 lisamathis76@...> wrote: Some people can't handle when we get thin.
