I have a friend who decided what my weight should be and that I should stay at 150 lbs. She told me since I’m in forties, it will much more difficult to lose weight. I’m only 5’2” and have never had ANYONE tell me what my weight should be. 150 lbs at my height is still high on the BMI. This is a person who is 5’4 inches and about 165 lbs. she does go to the gym but doesn’t follow any specific food plan and carries most of her weight in her stomach.

She uses excuses that she can’t lose weight but here I am in my forties and what she said I couldn’t do I just did. I hope to lose another 2 lbs by Dec 7 which will be one month. The fact that it’s harder to lose weight in your forties is b.s. IMO. If I lost another 2 lbs in the next 3 days ( if it happens great, if not I won’t stress), it would be 12 lbs in one month and that included low carbing while on vacation for a week where I upped my carbs a bit and also monthly female cycle that stalls everything.

It really irked me that she is telling me what weight I should be. I told her that’s my decision and I will decide.

Is this someone who is threatened by me? She also says she has a sarcastic sense of humour but uses that excuse to put other people down. She once insulted me about a shirt I was wearing and then said she was only kidding. This is also someone who constantly needs to validate herself through others by bragging.

Her jabs are rolled up in her so called sarcasm or being passive aggressive and so comments about my weight loss motives don’t surprise me. Once I went back on atkins she didn’t she offer her support or cheer me on.

After many incidences, I wonder if I want her as a friend anymore.

Have you ever had anyone threatened ed by your weight loss?
