So I've been losing weight pretty linearly since the summer before my first year at college (in my second year now) and have been doing so successfully. It's awesome, I feel like a whole new person; my self confidence has skyrocketed. I absolutely love it and I'm so excited to get to my goal weight because I'm finally realizing, I can actually do it. But holy shit I am so annoyed by my friends right now.
I met these people first year of college, and our group has gotten extremely close. I was about 190 when I met them, so still well into the obese range and trying to lose weight. While I was still that fat they were super supportive of me losing the weight. It was awesome.
Roll around to this year and I've gotten down to 150 and I'm still trying to lose. But for some reason I guess a switch flipped in their brains, and now they're all telling me that what I'm doing is 'unhealthy' and that I 'don't need to lose any more weight'. Keep in mind that they're all in the middle of their normal BMI's and while my BMI is (finally) normal, it's just on the cusp of overweight, and I want to be on the lower end of a normal BMI (which is still NORMAL). And since I still want to lose weight I'm obviously still dieting, but somehow all the sudden my diet is 'bad' for me, even though I'm practicing proper nutrition and regularly go over my calorie limit of 1200 for the day.
I'm just so sick of it because they're all so adverse to me being a normal weight even though they all have lower weights than me and are perfectly healthy. I don't care if they think I'm attractive the way I am (something they regularly throw at me when they see how I'm eating), I am not happy with my body, and I want to fix that. I wish they'd respect my personal goals and stop trying to be so 'body positive' because their aggression towards my diet is making me uncomfortable and it's just frustrating as all hell.
Anyway, I just wanted to rant about that, since I know it's a 'thing' a lot of us have to put up with.
