I Worked Like Crazy to Lose Weight, Then My Friend Tried to Rain on My Parade
So, I busted my butt to drop from 165 to 135lbs, doing all the math, eating right, the whole shebang. Then at a family party, my friend’s mom said, "You look great!" but my friend chimed in, "Yeah, but you lost too much." Like, seriously? Then her dad joked I should eat a hamburger. Plus, others low-key hinted I might have an eating disorder. Okay, can people please just zip it unless asked?
