Hi its horrible when some people have no mouth filter! I had this but on the opposite end. I have lost 2 1/2 stone since diagnosis, and am quite small now. About a month ago, a friend said " dont you ever look in the mirror, and think what have i done". I was so shocked and upset. My assistant manager, cut her down, and said she shouldnt say things about my weight as its medical. I also have IBD and IBS, so has been a struggle. I do still get the odd comment, but usually from people who i havent seen for a while. My health is now more important to me, than other peoples opinions!
 
I'd have said, Yes, absolutely I have - and am always very pleased to see what I've achieved, thanks! OTOH why on earth would any friend not already know 'why' ?
