    Sounds familiar. Suspects she's overweight, or someone she's close to and protective about is. If she's a real friend, then you might need to exercise some patience and be more forgiving, be the gentleman and start talking to her again. After all, we are not perfect, and there are times when we act like that too, and we'd wish our friends can cut us some slack. Having said that, it seems like many users of MFP are also behaving similarly. Preferring to receive 'empty' encouragements then to ask for real help: for e.g. being hugely overweight, but only wish to receive messages like 'way to go!' 'That's great!' when they completed some exercises, instead of constructive suggestions when asked to remove sugary foods from their diet.
    It's sad to see so many people refusing to hear the truths and adopt a scientific approach to their weight loss problems.

    Also, I'm pretty sure OP is a she.
