Losing weight is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me.
I am f (20) and a junior in nursing.
For some context, I used to weigh 180lbs standing at 5’4. While this might not seem like the heaviest to some, I did not hold the weight well, and most in my weight was retained in my thighs, stomach, and face. I was a pretty cubby and insecure freshman girl. I never received any male attention, and I am friends with some crazy pretty skinny girls. In freshmen year, I was quite outgoing and made a ton of what I thought were good life long friends.
Around my sophomore year I decided to go on a weight loss journey. It started off slow, and was quite hard because I go to a school that drinks a lot (Wisconsin 😂). However, I lost around 40 lbs sophomore year with a calorie deficit and working out, mostly consisting of cardio. My friends were pretty supportive of my weight loss journey in the beginning. And I didn’t notice a shift in their attitude towards me until the start of this year.
This summer I really worked on my now thin body, toning it, and running quite a lot. Now my face is quite slim, and my legs have become quite toned from running.
I like to think that I look good, and I feel good too. I feel way more confident in myself. I feel like my personality hasn’t changed much since, I’m still the same old me, but my friends don’t really treat me the same as they used to. The dynamic feels off, and they just seem weird around me. I feel like I’m going insane; I am someone who really cares about what others think of me, especially those who I consider my friends.
I think one friend in particular is a little weirded out that i am getting male attention now, as she was usually the friend that was always approached out in public.
I just don’t know what to do. I want to stay friends with these girls, because I can’t imagine trying to find new friends now. I feel super alone right now, i feel like i did something wrong, and sometimes i wish I could go hack to being that unnoticeable chubby friend that everyone liked. :/
