Wow. I almost forgot I had this thing. I guess I just haven't had much to say until lately. But now I do.

See, I used to have this friend, Jodie. She was a little needy, kind of annoying, and a clueless smartass, but she could be cool when she wasn't whining about something stupid like how her internet boyfriend was cheating on her with a tree of some shit like that.But a couple of months ago I started excersizing and eating right and I started to lose weight (I've gone from 160 to 125 now) and of course I was excited about it, so I told Jodie about it. At first she seemed happy for me. She even asked me for tips so she could lose weight to. So I gave her some. She asked me how much she should lose, so I calculated her BMI. She's 5'1" and 140 pounds, so her BMI is 26.4, which is overweight(Underweight = <18.5 Normal weight = 18.5-24.9 Overweight = 25-29.9 Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater) So she started exercing and I encouraged her, but NEVER did I tell her she HAD to do anything. She asked me. All I told her is what she asked me to and nothing else. And one day she got mad at me over nothing and we stopped talking. A couple months later, someone made a post saying that they lost 3 pounds and Jodie reponded with this:

You know that you can stop now. 135 is normal. Hell, 140 is normal. Unless you're going for the skinny thing, then you can stop at 115 or 120.

Ok, fisrt of, who the fuck is she to tell someone what thier normal weight is? Normal weight is different for everyone, which I pointed out to her when I said this:

Wrong. It depends on how tall you are. Say, if you're 5' 4" or a bit taller, 140 is normal weight because that means your BMI is 24.0, which is normal(Underweight = <18.5, Normal weight = 18.5-24.9, Overweight = 25-29.9, Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater), but if you're say, 5' 2" or shorter 140 would be overweight or even obese. "Normal" weight is diffrent for everyone, but even if you don't want to lose weight, eating right and exercising are still important things to do.

Which is true. Then she freaked out and said this:

Blah, blah, blah. Words. Just because it means everything to you doesn't mean that everyone has to follow it.

What the hell is wrong with her? She acts like this is some shit I read out of Cosmo, but it's not. This is what DOCTORS say your body weight should be at. They also say you should exercise at least 30 minutes a day. My health is important to me, so sue me. Just because she gave up doesn't mean I'm a bad person for sticking with it. And she shouldn't be telling people that being overweight is ok, because it's not. And I'm not saying this from a looks standpoint, but from a health one. You don't have to look like a supermodel, you just need to be healthy. So I said this:

Well that was rude. I didn't say you had to follow it. I was simply stating that exercising and eating right were part of a healthy lifestyle and that your statement was false. Normal weight is different for everyone. The only reason you said what you did is because you're insecure about YOUR own body but are too lazy to get off you ass and do something about it.

So she responded with this:

Haha. More words. I haven't spoken to you in months Kira. You don't know me anymore because I'm different.

I'm not insecure about my weight at all. But I was getting tired of your obsession with losing yours. And I see that that is still strong.

Took me some time, but I'm alright in my own skin, thank you very much. But I will say that last year, I wasn't. New year, new prospective. Dropped alot of jerks.

First off, she can't even remember my name, because it's not Kira. How can you forget someone's name in 2 months? Also, she's obviously not comfortable in her own skin or else she wouldn't be dogging me for losing weight. And where does she get off saying I have an eating disorder? I dropped all the weight in a healthy way, so that's a BIG lie, which I pointed out to her:

I'm not obsessed with losing weight. I was out of shape, I got winded easily and I wasn't eating very healthy, nor was I at a healthy weight for my size or age. So I did something about it. When I changed my lifestyle, the weight came off. I still excersize regularly because, believe it or not, YOU'RE ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO! Exercizing is something that your body NEEDS to be healthy, but a lot of people are too lazy to do it. I'm not that interested in the effects that working out and eating right has on my looks. I'm more interested in the effects it's had on my health.

So then she changes her story and sayss that I pused her to lose weight, which is a LIE. She asked me and I just gave her tips. I wasn't sticking my finger down her throat and chaining her to the treadmill. I only knew her over the net, so I had no idea what she looks like until recently(and she's not the best looking person on the planet, to say the least). I couldn't have told her she needed to lose wieght unless she TOLD me she did. And again, she's acting like I'm telling her crap from Cosmo or something, but I'm not. So I said:

Thats a load of bullcrap Jodie and you know it. First of all i was excited to see results. Can you blame me? I was proud of myself for sticking to it. And I didn't say you had to do anything. You told me that you wanted to lose weight and you asked my how much I thought you should lose and how you should do it. I only TOLD you because you asked me. I was just trying to help. I didn't even know what you looked like at the time so it's not like I could have said "You need to lose 20 pounds" without you telling me how much you weighed. You asked me for help and I gave it to you. Stop getting mad at me because you gave up because it was too hard.

She responded:

I'm not mad at you. But it is obvious you are mad at me. I gave up because I realized I looked fine, not because it was too hard. Is it so unwordly for someone to decide they are fine the way you are?

Good. I'm happy for you. I'm happy you lost all that weight and were able to do it. I really am, because I noticed it was important to you. That's why I cheered you on. mentioing what you did does not mean I;m taking back how I was about it, I was just pointing it out. You have serious unresolved anger towards me.

Oh. So saying I have an eating disorder is cheering me on? Could have fooled me. And if some was sying shit like that to you, wouldn't you get mad? Especially someone who used to be your friend. So I let her have it?

Don't change your story now. Yeah, I'm angry at you, and I know exactly why. Have you not read all the untrue things you just said about me? You freak out like that on me every time I or someone else points out the fact that you're wrong. I don't like you because you're a know-it-all, who actually doesn't know anything.

Then she tried to make me feel bad, which didn't work. I gave up after she said this:

Personal attack.

YOu just love to a person out in the open. I never acted like I know-it-all. Especially not with you. I took your every word into consideration. I thought you were the coolest, smartest person ever. I talked about you to everyone and I always held on to your advice.

So I guess you didn't know me that well.

It kinda sucks how your own friends try to keep you down when you try to do something good for yourself. I guess it makes them feel bad about themselves when they see you bettering yourself. I know I'm not the only one this has happened to. You hear stuff all the time about the same kind of thing, people ditching their friends when they lose weight, or come out of their shell, and especially when they become successful of famous. I think it really needs to stop.
