Cathlete
Many, many threads have been put up on this forum regarding the resentment and pushback fit women receive from their less-fit or unfit sisters, and a Cathlete here said it best when she said, in essence, "When you lose weight and get lean through diet and exercise, YOU'RE TAKING THEIR EXCUSES AWAY." That singular sentence totally summarized the genesis of the resentment OP and others have encountered when they are successful in achieving and maintaining a fit physique and lifestyle. Friendships tend to die when that's the dynamic, but in my book, who needs a "friend" who is so hostile to your healthy lifestyle? Shake that kind of dust off your shoes, OP, and keep up the good work.
