Its is very typical at around 6 months out ya hit a funk. Very typical. The thing is you have changed SO much, but yet your not where you want to be physically. Its like your stuck. Then you start self analyzing because around this time its typical to be critical of yourself.... I just wanted to let you know that what you are going through is totally normal!
Friendships: Things change, and so do you. Your attitude changes. You have a new found confidence, and are more open minded. You also become more offensive, always worrying about what others are thinking during your metamorphis. Whether it be your friends, family or a waiter. Its on our minds constantly how we are being percieved.
The guys who were buddies before, may have always flirted with you when you were heavy, but you were in denial to accept it. Maybe laughing it off when they paid you a compliment, or what not. But now your confidence is up, heck why wouldnt they want you? Your wonderful, smart, attractive and fun to be around... you have always been those things to them.
regarding fashion: There is fashionable, and trendy and there is WAY too young for ya. I like to think that Im very fashionable and up on trends, but there are some things that I just cant wear because Im not a youngster. Mid riffs- forget about it! Low rise jeans-totally okay! Just make sure when you put your "gear" on its something you would feel comfortable in if you were at a family picnic, now club gear thats a different story. Clubbing clothes should only be worn to the club or perhaps Denny's at 3am!
In 6 more months, things will be so much more clear for you. You will make friends and lose friends, but remember you cant please all the people all the time. Do what makes you happy-thats whats in YOUR best interest! (( HUGS ))

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug
"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
