It’s been said before, but I’ll say it again, anyone who criticises your weight loss, says something like “you should stop / you can’t be as thin as me, you’ll look ill” etc. is probably just plain jealous, either because you’ll soon be slimmer/weigh less/look better than they do, or because it shows a strength of mind and body that they do not have.
As for your friend, claiming that she’s “not been eating much” and is now a size 6/8 probably just shows how desperate some people are to keep their status as the “slim one”; of course the ironic thing is, that at a bony 6/8, you’ll be looking much better than she does as she’ll probably look ill!
It's bound to be different from a blokes POV as well. I can't see my brother, best friend or any other male member of my family telling me I should stop at a certain point, or being annoyed/outraged/moody because I weighed less than they do, but I can see my mum, aunts, nan and some female friends sharing their "concern" as to how "healthy" it is to lose so much weight.
Good for you for telling her it's your choice though!
I said on a another thread, that if anyone says to me "you should stop now", I'd work out how much I had left to lose, convert that into bags of sugar, then take them to Tescos, put that weight in a basket and tell them to carry that around the shop for half an hour, just to show them how much weight you still are carrying around - most people don't realise just how heavy a stone or two actually is until they are shown in a way such as that!
