Shelley-
That is sad what your friend did to you. That is no friend at all. You keep doing what your doing and be happy with yourself.
I hear alot of - "you have such a beautiful face" , "you looked so good back when..."
My boss told me if I lost 50lbs. I would be able to go out and see our clients more.
I almost filed a harrassment suit against him, and decided the best way to get him back- is to do it- lose the 50lbs. and show him! So, in a backhanded way- his comment motivated me to change my life.
I can lose weight- but he can never lose his nasty attitude- that is something he has to live with !
