This is the end game
The pouch taunts me with its tenacity
It is resilient
It will be destroyed.

I don’t know what this person, a friend, meant exactly. They did not specify they thought I was losing weight too fast or I’ve lost too much. Mathematically, neither scenario makes sense. I’ve averaged 1.1 pounds per week since the beginning of January which is widely regarded as safe and sustainable and I’m still “overweight” by definition for my height and gender.
I see this friend once or twice a month so maybe it’s just jarring to see me looking thinner every time over the course of several months. Part of me also wonders if they’re used to me being overweight and are uncomfortable with me being in better shape.
Anyway, it has me in my head which is not where I want to be. Has anyone else had this happen and what did you do?
Edit: didn’t expect so many comments on this. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Sounds like a fairly common occurrence for a variety of reasons that all seem plausible. Thank you all for helping me feel less crazy
I feel like joining the club posting this pic. After a week and a half of hovering between 200.5 and 202, today finally saw me dip below 200 by almost a full pound. SW 300 so 100 pounds down and just 20 more to go for a healthy BMI with some wiggle room. What a long ass journey it has been.
