So I was on the phone to an old friend this morning, I haven't seen her for quite a while because I moved to Scotland 2 yrs ago and she is still in England. When i told her I was doing SW and was well on my way to losing the 1 st, she said "what are you losing weight for?" I told her because I want to be healthier, and that I was bordering being obese when I joined (My BMI was 29.9 before starting) and I wanted to get decent clothes in any shop I wanted to. And she said "Oh they are just numbers, it doesn't mean anything" She said she would rather die eating a big fat curry and chips than have to live on rabbit food. Of course i told her SW isn't like that, but for every GOOD thing I told her I was doing, she batted it down, and not ONCE did she say well done on what I had achieved.
I got off the phone feeling deflated and quite annoyed. Granted she is the type of person that can eat anything she wants and never puts any weight on, but still it didn't feel good that she put down my efforts. Of course being stuck in bed today with my laptop because of a severe ear infection hasn't helped my mood.
I feel like i don't really want to talk to her again anytime soon, which is a shame because apart from this one issue, we do get on really well. But I feel like i don't need this negative attitude while i'm working so hard to get where I want to be.
