Do you ever...

Pin It feel like some people in your life are NOT happy for your weightloss?  They either make snide comments about it, or dismiss it altogether...  I'm very blessed in that I only have a couple people in my life who appear to feel this way...I just wish I could understand why.  Do they prefer the "fat" Tanya?  Have I changed?  I think I'm still the same person as I always was.  Perhaps it is their own insecurities.  Maybe my weight helped them to take focus off a flaw they have in their own life?  I dunno....I just got to thinking about this today.  Not sure why, but I feel like I have to figure it out.  If you are reading this blog, then please know I am not referring to you!!  I just have a couple people in my life that I thought I was fairly close with who never even ACKNOWLEDGE that I've changed.  I know life is not all about me, but come on!  I've lost a person the size of my Dad's sister!!!

OK, pity party over - I do have an amazing support system and wonderfully amazing friends and family, so I'll focus on this now.  I just wondered if anyone else experienced this?

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said it might be their insecurities. Another thing I've noticed, and it'squite sad, but there are a lot of people out there that just aren't capable of being happy for others. You're not like that so it may be strange to you :-) It's something that's been really bothering be a lot lately and I have been trying to figure it out myself. Don't let it get you down...you're doing a fantastic job on this difficult journey and I'm very proud of you! Can't wait to see you in person someday and see the changes :-)
