I know that this is one of things we all want is to be treated better and respected, but how do you deal with knowing that these people really have changed based upon how much weight I have surrounding my personality. I fear that these people I view as true friends will start to change and treat me with more respect, and then I will remember how they were before the weight loss and I will realize that the relationships I had before were not 100% real.>>>> Ohhh but on this one I beg to differ.....I am the one changing!! As I lose more and more weight, I am the one, quietly but consistently, requiring that they treat me with more respect. I am not so sure it will be any different for you. (We seem so much alike). There will be so many changes in your life, . Many you have never even thought of! Be kind to yourself for changing and to your friends for sticking with you through it!

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Hey, I was a midwife for 20 years & personally believe that it's a PRIVILEGE to carry and give birth to children.
