/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Kind of a related feel to the discussion/banter so I'll post it here:
>be overweight all my life
>made a huge lifestyle change a year and a half ago
>lost a good 60 pounds and have been keeping it off so far
>compared to my previous attempts where I'd regain within months
Problem is
>friends bitch to me all the time about their weight problems
>I listen because I'm a good friend
>I want to talk about my weight struggles too
>y'know because weight loss IS frustrating even if you're doing it right
>just because I'm fatter friends don't listen
>they all become nutrition and exercise scientists when talking to me
>patronizing me about diet and workout techniques when I've literally lost more than them in a year than they've lost in a decade
>they just assume I'm doing something wrong because I haven't magically become a size 2 in a year's time
>mfw
They really don't get it.
