Hi everybody! I've come to this subreddit I guess for consolation and to see if other people have experienced this.
For reference I am a 5'4 female, who has gone from 279lb - 220lb in just under 6 months. I have done this mainly because I now eat an unprocessed foods diet. I make my own breads, sauces, etcetera. I also fast between the hours of 4pm-10am, and eat 1200 cal a day. I am a sedentary woman so I believe this is sufficient for myself.
I have a very close friend who was a little bit smaller than myself, around the same height. She stood on the scale in front of me a week ago (and weighed 240lb), telling me she had maintained the same weight. She had quickly stepped off the scale when she saw that I was looking. I didnt mean to be nosy, but I feel like when were on this journey we are inherently more interested in weights etc. She also made a passing comment a couple of days later saying shes jealous now that I'm less than she is.
Today I sent her a picture of me on my scale which said 99.9kg (220lb, I've been using lbs in this post for ease of the majority of people here). This is the first time I have been under triple digits in 5 years. She said "yay go you". I visited her just before, for her to tell me she has gone from 93.8kg (206lb) to (204) this week. I said "oh that's good" but inside I was kind of crushed that 1. She was lying to me and 2. That she had forgotten to admitting I was smaller than her now and 3. That she feels threatened/disappointed that I am losing weight. It feels like our friendship is changing, I dont know about on her end but I feel like she feels uncomfortable around me now when we hang out, but I could be imagining things.
I guess what I'm asking is, have any of you experienced similar things happen to you on your journey, and how did you deal with it? I dont really want to argue with her about it, I'm just kind of sad.
