On the way to work yesterday, hubby and I were chatting regarding the impact weight loss has had on our lives and the comments we have both received from other people. He is feeling what I have been telling him all along – for the most part, people make negative comments as opposed to positive ones.
He encountered a friend who is much larger than he is now, but claims to be on a “diet”. Hubby, engaged by the conversation that his friend had commenced began giving him quick prep tips on salads and lunch items for him to take to work, but the friend refused to give up his mayonnaise on pretty much everything he ate, egg salad sandwiches, and olive oil as opposed to low fat dressing on salads. They basically left in a we agree to disagree vibe on things. However, before they parted ways, the friend had to tell hubby that he was now way too skinny and could use some muscle mass so he could look normal again. Ok, so what was that about?
Sounds like more hatin’ to me. It’s rather interesting how people react to other peoples’ successes at weight loss – instead of being supportive, they are anything but, and somehow you are expected to be a uniform size 4 for the rest of your life. Just boggles the mind!
