Why is she trying to make me feel bad?

Question

I started a new diet about 6 months ago. I cut my carbs down and i cut sugars out of my eating habits. I go to the gym every other day and i run every morning. so far i have lost 60lbs. My best friend of 10 years is a little bit bigger than i was she got an attitude with me when we were out to lunch one day i ordered a vegetarian dish and she got mad and told me "just because your losing weight won't make you any prettier" i'm not ugly and this isn't one of those "do you think i'm pretty questions" I want to know why she is so pissed with me trying to get healthy. I have been overweight my whole life. i lost 130 lbs out of high school because i was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis(nerve-muscle disorder that caused me to have problems eating and moving) i finally got my life somewhat back to normal with medicine and than i found out i was pregnant i gained 90 lbs with my pregnancy after i had my daughter i lost 70 of it than through the past 2 years i have gained 100 pounds because of the prednisone i am on it causes me to have late night cravings so i got tired of being tired all the time of feeling unhealthy so i went on a diet(under my doctor's approval) and i feel great now i am more active with my daughter i still have MG but i don't feel as run down as i did before. she tells me i am being stupid and that it is just a waste of time because i am going to cave and gain it all back. why can't she just be happy for me? i'm still the same person i was when i was heavier just i am a few sizes smaller now.

Answer 1

She really is just jealous. It sounds as if she doesn't like it because you've become healthier and she's the same way.

Congrats on finding the motivation to do what you've been doing though!

Answer 2

That's really great for you! You made me feel happy for you! Talk about commitment! :D lool.

Don't listen to her, you're doing the right thing. Sounds like she might be jealous of how you're losing weight 'n stuff. Why not try to include her in your diet? Have you tried that? Maybe you can both lose weight together, on your diet, it'll make it funner, and you can both motivate each other.

First off I want to say YOU GO GIRL!!! I applaud you! She is jealous & insecure. How dare she say such a mean thing to you. She should be encouraging you! I'd lose that friend...like yesterday!
