Crying as I Type This....

So I just got into a big fight with my best friend. It was actually about something completely unrelated to weight loss but it made me think of you guys.

The analogy to losing weight is - you've been working so hard and so long on your goals and you're already frustrated with yourself that you're not seeing as much progress as you'd like. Then, you're best friend comes along and says "you're not really working hard", "you could have lost that weight already if you were just trying hard enough", "it's your own fault - you didn't work out everyday last week and you had a piece of chocolate the other day"...

I couldn't believe she said this to me - she has no idea what I go through or the amount of effort I put in or the struggles I battle with. She's never been in my situation. I know how hard I'm working and how much I'm accomplishing, so it shouldn't matter what other people say. But it really hurts when the people you depend on the most aren't supportive of you and aren't understanding. I didn't even know what to say to her. I just hung up and started crying. I'm so upset right now! I want to resolve this with her, but what can I say?
