Hi 'hive' - thought i'd share this thought. I met up with a friend last week and she has been on MJ. She was a size 14 last time I saw her but she is now 12, maybe 10, and my first thought was "OK, you've lost enough now".
I get why people think this, i did because she just didn't look like her anymore......which was really unnerving...my friend didn't look like my friend!
I didn't hink this out of jealousy, but because she was a 'gaunt' version of herself. Her face looked too thin to me BECAUSE I'M USED TO SEEING HER DIFFERENTLY. If I met her as a new person, I wouldn't think twice, but it just felt too much.
Obviously I just told her how well she'd done, but I just wanted to share that not all of comments have sabotage/jealousy behind them, our brains are just wired to prefer the familiar. It made me think - we probably all hit these comments on our journey.
