You could be the next female 'Dr. Phil'. Your blogs are incredibly in dept and interesting to say the least. And the way you handle your social situations is sooo 'the-way-you're-supposed-to' to the point where many can learn just from reading your posts. If not a 'Dr. Phil' type of show, a reality show would be just as interesting. I can already imagine it; 'The Life of Janet'. Anyway, good luck with your July plans and GREAT BLOG!! Okay JJanet,

Not many people would have responded so well. O' and definitely the right call in riding your life of "L", her man and her need a lot more help then you can give. Glad you made some new friends after all that. Take care and good luck with your July goals! Great attitude with the fat comment, you are very classy and postive.

That was totally awesome and the perfect thing to say! Hahaha *virtual high five* About L and that guy---EEK! She should show that txt to the authorities, for sure, but like you said, you can't make her and if she doesn't understand the implications...eeek. Deep breath, for sure. Take care, and keep smiling!! :D :D :D WAY TO HANDLE THE FAT COMMENT!! That was totally awesome and the perfect thing to say! Hahaha *virtual high five*

I hope she is able to get some counseling/therapy because it sounds like she could benefit. Way to tell that woman in the locker room! Seeing your pictures you do look wonderful!!

And you can't have a valid friendship based on sympathy alone. Yes, your ex-friend has some serious issues. Low self-esteem? I would guess big time. Sounds like maybe some frontal lobe damage as well? Very sad. But you are only in control of what you allow into your own life. You cannot save the world with kindness. From the sound of your post, I think you already know all this. PS...If there is any way this girl, damaged or not, will ever see that there is something very extremely wrong with that text message,...losing your friendship should be the first gigantic clue!

Lets say that was some kind of sick twisted joke he still needs to be probed for just saying some sick crap like that. For the lady you can always find a way to make me laugh. You handled it allot better than me. I would have done one of two things made rude comment or started crying instantly and go into a story on how I just can't lose weight and it all stems back to some traumatic story about my parents or sibling. If you want to screw someone’s mind up I use this technique allot it really screws their minds up. You look great JJ looking forward to your progress pics what is the next one going to be of your toe or kneecap or something. haha Wow for the guy I am with the others have that sicko checked out.

Although, this was on the bus. She too commented that I was looking a little heavier. However, the bus driver and Teddy the crackhead said I was looking "mad tight". I gotta stop changing on the bus.

Love how you handled the gain weight comment- that is awesome...that is light overcoming dark....positive energy moving over negative energy....keep bringing it sister!!! As for July- rock on- the plan sounds good, aggressive, and dialed in!!! I can't wait to hear about your progess- I will use it as motivation to pull my butt out of bed at 5:30 for workouts! :) Scary text from that guy to be sure…and as if that wasn’t bad enough…it does appear he has absolutley no respect for the woman at all by sending her that text. bad news. but, alas, as you said- deep breath!

Scary!! Isn't this the same "L" who was trying to be like you and find a guy with your help? EEK. As for the comment - WOW, I don't think I would have responded like that in a million years... maybe "Yes, I was on vacation" but "I think I look wonderful" would never have come to mind!!

I would have replied, " I may be fat but you are ugly, and I can always lose weight." Every once in a while you have to resort to those third grade comebacks!!!
