Fat, Funny, and Forgotten: When Friendships Don’t Survive Your Glow-Up 🎭💔✨

This week on Whatever This Is, Deniz and I dive into the unexpected side of weight loss—losing friendships. From childhood dietitian visits 🍏📏 to shedding the Fat Funny Friend identity 😂➡️😶, we unpack why some friendships shift when the self-deprecating humor stops. Why do some people disappear when you stop making yourself the joke? And is it true that people get mean after losing weight? 🤔🔥 We get into the social side effects of body changes, the weight of confidence 💪🏾, and a little friendship therapy 🛋️💬 along the way. It’s raw, real, and a little too relatable.
