    Jealousy plain and simple. Ignore & move on...

    Spite can be a potent motivator. Go get your abs, then walk by her quietly and often with a bare midriff.

    Oh yeah... I'll be heavily invested in the crop top industry at that time :wink:

    So, today I switched gyms. I have been working out at Planet Fitness but I am wanting to get more into lifting and wanting more than just a big cardio room and some machines. I am really happy with the gym that I chose (UFC) and was telling my roommate about it and I got a really weird reaction from her. Basically, my goal is to be strong, but I am vain and want to see my abs. She goes "but the problem is you can't maintain that" and I'm just like... what? I mean, I know the body changes so rapidly and I won't see abs forever but I just want to see them ONCE! And to be strong... Maybe I will be a powerlifter someday, who knows! I just want to be strong. And then she goes on to say that "lifting weights doesn't make you strong" but could not explain how that could possibly make sense.

    It made me feel really dismissed. Like, I know I have a lot of work to do before I get to that point, but I couldn't BELIEVE that was what she had to say. It's like she doesn't want me to be fit and healthy.

    Good thing I'm the kind of person who likes to prove people wrong :)

    Hey. I had a similar thing happen to me.
    My best friend and I have been on many diets before trying to lose weight one way or another.
    We both started this calorie counting one, but now shes lost motivation and I am determined to lose weight no matter what.
    As she's my best friend I thought she would be happy that I occasionally mention my weight loss but now she says i have become obsessed, I'm like WTF!?!
    I think she's either jealous that I've lost 13lb up to now or she's being selfish coz the attention isn't about her.
