Hi Laura,
I don't know about your friends, but some "thinner" people don't want their "fat" friends to become thin. They want to the be the thin skinny girls in the group. If their "fat" friend lost weight and was thin, it would be more competition.
So a fat people can make a thin person feel good. I know this is vain, but it does happen. This also happens in marriages and with couples. If wife is heavy, then wants to lose weight, hubby feels threaten, that she is going to look better than him,,,and might not be attracted to him anymore. Hubby might try to sabatoge the wife's diet to keep her safe at home.
I forget where I read an article, but it had alot of good points on why people sabotage other's diet efforts....for their own benefit.
I would take a very close look at your friends and your relationship. Ask yourself some really hard questions, are they really close and dear friends? Or just some nice girls to hang out with?
Try to keep only positive people around you. You are too good to let negative people bring you down.
