The more I think about it, the angrier I get. So I'm going to vent. My best friend seems to WANT me to gain weight. I used to be clinically overweight in the beginning of highschool, and everyone made fun of me as well. Well, I started eating very little, and by grade 12, I was 98lbs, which looked good on my 5"2 frame. It wasn't easy, but it was worth it. Anyway, before we were friends, she used to make fun of me for being fat. After I lost the weight, I was thinner than her and I could tell she couldn't stand it. But we had become friends then, so there wasn't much she could do. Anyway, now due to a new school, vacation, new job, depression and all that other stuff, I developed binge-eating disorder and put on 22lbs. It's not much compared to when I was overweight, but my self-esteem is very low. I've recently changed my eating habits and lost 5lbs, as most of you know. BUT, my friend purposely asks me out for lunch and dinner and b*tches at me if I choose healthy choices. She accuses me not eating (which is NOT true, I get 1200-1500 calories each day) and her exact words are, "well maybe you should go back to eating 4 crackers a day again". First of all, I never did that! Secondly, she speaks as if she wants me to put on more weight just so she came remain thinner than me. Before, when she was trying to lose weight, I helped her out. I wanted the both of us to be happy, and as you frequent visiters on this board know, I'm totally supportive of people who want to lose. But now, she puts pressure on me to gain, and then tells me I need to lose weight. Anyone know what I mean? Sigh...thanks for listening, guys. ~~MissyK~~
