From family to friends. after losing, and throughout losing 50 lbs over the past few months I have received nothing but criticism from My mother, father, and some friends that i'm becoming "sickly", looking unhealthy, losing weight too quickly, not eating enough food, starving my self, depressed etc etc etc etc.
It's not even that much weight relative what other people i have seen accomplish on this sub, it's only 50 pounds.
None of these people made a fucking comment when i was a fucking balloon at 250lb earlier this year, now suddenly every one of them is a god damn expert on diet an exercise. and most of them are overweight.
I'm genuinely tired of having to explain to people that i'm not actually killing myself, constantly explaining that i know exactly what i'm doing, and that i am actually improving my health. I was meant to be visiting my parents this weekend, but i had a chat with my mom over the phone yesterday and throughout the entire call she kept talking about how i need to get back to eating "normally" and becoming healthy again. I realised that going to visit them is just gonna cost me more headaches so i cancelled.
I was gaming with a few of my friends last saturday, and one friend was talking about on how difficult it is to not gain weight over the lockdown, and another responded "Well, 808adams seem to be doing great" and like 3 of my friends all responded with similar sentiments "He's lost his weight too quickly, it's unhealthy, he'll gain it all back". and now all i'm thinking about is "are my friends just waiting for me to fail"?
For a while i used all the naysaying as fuel to motivate me to prove these people wrong, but at this point I'm just so sick and tired of giving the same explanations over and over, and it's really starting to fuck with my mood. I'm thinking of distancing myself from some of these people (well the ones that i can distance from) temporarily for the time being and stick with only the ones that are keeping me motivated. but the idea of potentially losing some friends because I'v improved myself has really depressed me lately, but it might just be a reality that i have to confront.
have any of you had these experiences when losing weight? how did you cope with it?
