Today, I hung out with some old friends for the first time since losing about 50 pounds, going from clinically obese to a healthy weight. I even bought a cute new dress for the occasion to show off my new body. No one noticed the change. FML

Today, I got to see my best friend for the first time in months. Her first reaction was to say, "Wow, you gained a lot of weight." I actually lost a fair bit. FML

Today, I walked downstairs in a new outfit, after dieting for 3 months, and losing just over 20 pounds. My mom took one look at me and said "You'd better keep going." FML

Today, I went to a high school reunion. An old friend I hadn't seen in a while suddenly came up to me and gasped, "Oh, thank God!" I was about to greet her and catch up when she added, "I'm not the only one who gained weight!" FML

Today, my best friend told me I lost weight. I was happy because I've worked hard to shed off those pounds. I asked her what changes were evident, she told me that I now have a neck. FML

Today, I was at the gym and saw an old friend. I have put on a lot of muscle in the past few months, and she said to me "Wow, you've really gotten big." Just by habit I said "You too." Turns out she's gained 45 lbs since I'd last seen her. Oops. FML

Today, after months of dieting, I finally reached my goal weight. Excitedly I told my boyfriend, who gave me a beautiful dress as an early Christmas present. It was a size too small. FML

Today, I took the kids to the pool. I'm short and 20lbs overweight but they talked me into it and I put on a swimsuit for the first time in 10 years. As soon as we got there, a girl my height but a good 150lbs heavier said, "It's so nice to see another big girl in a two-piece!" FML

Today, I came back from my 3-month vacation in France. During my vacation I lost 32 lbs and I was so excited to show off my new body to my boyfriend. When he walked in the door, he didn't notice me, but he did notice my younger, thinner and tanner sister strutting around in her bikini. FML

Today, I finally lost enough weight to fit into the beautiful dress that I ordered for my senior prom. I graduated from high school in 2010. FML

Who cares? You did it for yourself, and as long as you feel happy, that's really all that matters.

Don't be so down. Maybe they forgot? I'm not helping, but congrats on the weight loss!!

I never comment on people's appearance, it makes me feel awkward and I don't know how they'll take it. I once commented how my friend's hair was getting so long, which I meant as a compliment but she got all offended and upset, explaining that she doesn't "have free time like I do" so she hadn't been to a hair dresser in awhile. I just keep my mouth shut now.

maybe because your friends don't care about how you look. that's not a bad thing

They probably saw and thought it alot but they didn't want to bring it up because that would be rude

losing 50 pounds when your clinically obese is like the weather going down two degrees on a hot day ....nobody notices cause it's still hot .....get back on the treadmill

You do realize the difference between ideal weight and obese can be as little as 40 pounds depending on one's height, right?

Don't worry about it, you did a great job losing that much weight and that's all that matters

Your friends might just be very considerate with the fact that they see you as the same friend before and after

What a stupid FML. I'd be glad that they don't care whether you're obese or skinny. Appreciate people like this. They care for your character, not your body
