Like Kristi said, you have changed. You are not the same person you were before. Now you have more confidence and care more about what you look like. But just because you care about what you look like doesn't mean you are vain. You just like giving good impressions. Don't let what other people say bring you down. Explain to them that you had to change in order to become healthy. If they don't understand that, then it is their loss

the sad thing is u prolly did change...but what u changed was the way you felt about yourself. You prolly are proud of yourself which you should be and your friends should be proud of you too. you worked hard and lost the weight...dont let anyone put u down because of what you did. I mean there are other reasons they could be saying that...maybe their jealous that you lost all the weiht and started caring about your self. I hate to say this but if they dont respect the new you then maybe its time to start hanging out with people who do. I know its hard ...but im sooo motivated that you lost all that weight!!! good luck with everything girl.

omg that is so mean of them! you've worked so hard to lose that weight and you did it for yourself. i know that what they say hurts, but try not to let it get to you. in a way u are better than everyone. not in a vain way but how you lost all of that weight on your own. they're probably jealous of your success ;D

dont listen to them. chances are, they're jealous. just be a nice person and be confident and people will respect that
