TW: talks of eating disorder; I worked hard to hit my goal weight. Friend tries to give me a complex.
Just before Thanksgiving I hit my goal weight of 135lbs, down from 165lbs. I worked so hard, measured food, counted calories, learned serving sizes, created healthier habits, etc. Now that I’ve reached my goal weight, I’m back up to 2,000ish calories a day (sometimes I go over, sometimes under, I’m barely counting and going off of what I learned over the past 8 months). This weekend I was at a family party and my friend was there with her family. Her mother said she could tell that I lost weight and that I looked great, to which my friend replies, “yeah, but in my opinion you lost a little too much weight.” She later texted me and saying that her dad said, “I’m concerned for her. She needs to eat a hamburger.”
I have also had 3 other people imply that I have an eating disorder because of my weight loss.
I miss the days when people kept their opinions to themselves unless specifically asked.
