AIO to my best friend undermining my weight loss journey?
So I have been on a weight loss journey for the past three months, and I’ve been really committed, working out consistently and making real progress! When I first started, my best friend made comments about how she doubted I’d even be able to stick with it. I brushed it off at the time, but it definitely stung.
Now, fast forward to today, I was telling her about how I’ve been playing racquetball solo a couple of times a week as part of my routine. I find it to be a great workout, and always feel so sore after! I LOVE IT. Instead of being supportive, she just casually said that racquetball isn’t even a good workout. It felt dismissive, especially knowing that I’ve been putting in the effort and seeing results.
Maybe I’m being too sensitive, but it’s frustrating that instead of encouraging me, she seems to find ways to downplay what I’m doing. To be fair, gym has been “her thing” since we first met, and I’m sensing some jealousy now that it’s something we’re sharing. But It’s like she’s waiting for me to fail or isn’t taking me seriously. I don’t expect constant praise, but a little support from a friend would be nice.
