Has anyone else had the experience of going from the overweight friend to the skinnier friend? Is it weird for you?

I was friends with a girl who, for some reason, only surrounded herself with people were uglier/fatter than her.
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and through a proper diet and exercise regimen, was hoping to reverse the it. When I started losing noticeable amounts of weight, she started doing things, which I didn't realize then, were to fatten me up.
She constantly wanted to go out for dinner, always had sweets out, would make of me for eating healthy, etc.
Needless to say, we are no longer friends, and I am diabetes free :)

Yea happened to me and it was weird like i was used to being the fat friend but it was obvi a good feeling

[xMisterJx]

Yeah, way back in middle school I was fat as fat could be and short. Then when I was in high I shot up to 6 foot 2 and lost 60 pounds. Still like that today, with some more muscle now as well. Its definitely weird but SO much better. Yes some may call you scrawny and what not as the skinny one but being fat was so much worse in my opinion...

[Streamhopper]

Yes. I had bariatric surgery and lost 175 pounds. Girls who'd never look at me started to compliment me. Please. Seriously? I'm the same guy I was then. It sucks to have a bias but I understand it.

Meeee
Lost 50 lbs.
It was amazing. But one of my best friends at the time hated i was getting in shape and tried to make me feel bad for it or to get me to eat bad food.
Had to stop being her friend because she couldn't support me being healthier lol

It's definitely weird.. I always had a normal weight but for some reason I lost a lot this year. Now I'm underweight and everyone just keeps on telling me to eat more. It's kind of annoying.. I hear a lot of negative comments. I mean what's wrong with eating healthy? Why do people have to make me feel bad about myself?

[Wonderer89]

Yes, and it was in some areas. Most of my friends were amazing and supportive but two of them would try to minimise my success and say I was cheating or that I was just wearing bigger clothes to make me look smaller 🙄 I'm too old for those games so just cut them off

[BestBud]

I used to starve myself for years until I was skinny, but I never went so far as to be overly underweight, I would cut the limit at 110 pounds. That sounds horrible, but I honestly don't regret it. I have still pretty much maintained that body shape and can now eat as much as I would like to. I used to be a fat, ugly little kid, but my glow up was amazing. It wasn't weird, it was welcomed.

[spiceyyymac]

they gave me more attention and wanted to hang out more. It was weird bc I was always the third wheel friend or the friend that they hung out with when no one else was available. It made me feel like shit, like they valued me more when Im thinner. So yeah, weird to get used to.

I was chubby in elementary school.
I loss weight without even realizing it.
In my head I was still chubby, but everyone kept saying how skinny and tiny I was.
Wasn't really weird... Just didn't see myself that way, lol.

[hannahbanana11]

No, it's not weird. Because I used to be the overweight friend, (which I still am, it's just that I'm not the biggest) I understand how certain words or situations may make her feel uncomfortable or something. I am even more considerate now and totally understand where she's coming from.

[Aalila]

Yeah in middle school and high school i was fat after that i would bump into old class mates abd friends and they would gasp and say oh wow you lost so much weight

[peachblossomluck]

That may happen with me and my friends pretty soon because I'm addressing some health issues. I'm sort of nervous it's going to make them resent me.

[FuryOfTheDragon]

I dont care if people think im chubby, i like it at least i dont have to see my bones sticking out of my chest.

[Theodorable]

No, but I went from being the dorky quite friend to the outgoing, ridiculous educated, world traveling friend. Yeah, and it was weird for me.

[BeautifulPromisesx]

Yeah and it was super weird lol but you learn to deal with it

[Emiko]

People don't laugh at fat jokes anymore they get mad lol

[reixun]

Yeah, they all insist that I was always skinny though (outright lie).

[Pilulu]

No, im the fat friend, but there's another in our group who's larger than me. Plus, from first glance, you may just think im on the thicker side.
