Okay so I'm a little annoyed I've lost a good amount of weight over the last couple of months It's been about 30lbs and I'm super proud of myself. Way to go me! But I have this one friend who keeps making refrences to my being anorexic! I am not! I have worked hard REALLY REALLY hard to lose this weight and it has not been through starving myself it's been through sensible eating and a ton of exercise. I commited myself to losing weight and I did it I thought people would be happy for me but now since this one woman is spreading all of these rumors I spend my time assuring people that I do eat and I am not exercising myself into oblivion either. I'm going to post pics so people can see that I don't even look like I'm not eating, in fact I'm still a little over weight for my height I have to lose 5 more lbs to be in a healthy weight category.

Has anyone else had this problem after losing a lot of weight? And what did you do to make the person stop being a jerk?

Here's a before picture. It's not the best because I wasn't letting people take pictures of me for a long time but it gives you a general idea.

My family is like that. The women are very jealous so when they seen I was losing weight that said I was "too skinny" and it would be disgusting if I lost another 15 lbs like I want to. It's hurtful because they are family and I'm workig really hard to be healthy and at a weight I like

You look fantastic.  I agree with all of these ladies, she is probably jealous.  

We had another member here going through the same thing and she photographed herself eating homemade pizza and put it on her FB and told people: I DO EAT.  lol.

Let them believe whatever they like. The most important thing is that you are happy with yourself. Good job.

Yes i had this same issue. I was 208 i got down to 120 and my family and friends started saying i wasn't eating, i was to small, the bones on my chest looked nasty. I've heard it all. I said no I'm healthy, i eat and dedicated myself to weight loss. They were mostly all big that was saying it so i figured they said that to me out of spite. But i got back up to 130 cause people were hurting my feelings all the time and said i was starving myself. But it doesn't matter what they think or say, it's what makes you happy, get to your goal and don't worry about others. You look great, and in great shape. Some people like to ruin things for others.
