Do you find some people are resistant to your weight loss?

I met with a friend for lunch yesterday whom I haven't seen in a few weeks. The first thing out of her mouth was, "you're looking too skinny these days"

I'm 5'4 and I weigh 130lbs. I would hardly say I'm wilting away and on the brink of starvation. I eat 3 very healthy meals a day and snack in between heartily. And I don't push myself too hard - I take a 45 minute walk during lunch 5 days a week, and I walk the half mile to and from the train everyday.

I know it has more to do with her than me, but still, can you just TRY to be happy for me?

Sounds like jealousy to me. Some people just can't be happy for other people's success. It's annoying but don't let her get to you. You take care of yourself and it shows.

Beth, its just jealousy and insecurity. Some people just look at other's improvements as reflections of their own inadequacies. Its stupid, but people think like that.

to that Azoodie!
