Why do friends become "A" Holes when you change your body, Lose weight etc... ?

I started training properly in June 2010 and I'm now currently sitting at 211 pounds, 6"2 with body fat sitting at 12%.

Now since I started training my friends have started to get increasingly nasty and vile in the things they say some of them downright hurtful.

Is it just jealousy or are they just a complete bunch of douchebags ?

Same thing happened to a girl I know, she lost a tonne of weight, boob reduction (silly, they were perfect!) and 90% of her female friends just ditched her as she was the classic 'fat' one in the group making them all look good. But now she is stunning (always has been) they can't compete with her.

Not real friends if you ask me.
 
While you were getting fit did you constantly tell people about the nutritional content of the food they were eating, correct them when anything to do with exercise or food was the subject or recommend going to the gym to them?
 
Kind of speaking from the other side of the table, one of my friends has recently lost a fair amount of weight. Because we're so used to him looking a lot chunkier, we were all saying how he looks ill now (not in front of him, we're not that harsh).

I have a feeling though that this is just because we're used to the chunkier friend and not the new thin one.

He's obviously a lot healthier, as are you now no doubt. :cool:

Ignore them.

Was kinda thinking the same thing. Constantly talking about your changed lifestyle can put people of you. Making people feel bad about themselves because they are not interested in your new hobby may be another.... (hence my question, and McGray's!)

Need new friends. I've gone from around 9stone to over 12 stone of muscle and the only difference now is that i get called the big one instead of the skinny one :p
 
Broadly you and your friends are all similar in many or few ways that bring you together, when you start changing / developing / moving on you fall outside the considered norms of the group, growing apart and naturally moving away from the group.
 
I only ever explained what I was doing if I got asked about it, Some of the things, I won't repeat them all but the main ones are "you look a right mess" "you ok there aids victim" "Why dont you try going to the gym you look ill" "If I looked like you id hang myself".

And those are the nice ones.
 
Disregard friends, acquire gains.
