    If people are too immature to accept whatever journey someone is on, it's time to move on. I have friends that will criticize my routine or say "IF cannot be healthy for you." But at the end of the day they accept what I do, and I appreciate their opinions / concerns, but I do what I want to do. There are only a few people in my training life that I take advice from.

    Sometimes "friends" aren't happy with seeing their friends move on....whether it's getting a significant other, losing weight, being successful at work, or otherwise. It just seems like some people like to feather their nest and remain in their rut. The real difficulty is not staying there with them. Sometimes, there are just some people you have to turn loose.

    I knew someone in high school - we knew of each other, but didn't really hang out together. In college, we frequented some of the same places and started to hang out - had the same circle of friends. However, after some time, it seemed like she just complained a lot about a LOT of things - she worried a lot about stuff too. I decided that was not conducive to my mental health! I didn't like "phasing her out" - she's a very nice person - but sometimes you just have to.

    I'd definitely lose his number.

    I'm flabergasted that he had so little respect for you. It's one thing to have plans you were looking forward to not happen, but it's another thing entirely to not respect your friend, buying you drinks after you said no, getting mad that you didn't finish YOUR food... what's his problem?

    I'm just thankful people aren't eating real elephant ears!

    That is pretty ridiculous that he was force feeding you alcohol... I don't see why he would care if you ate or drank... seems kind of control freakish... If you guys have been friends a long time I would say maybe try to save the friendship. Would you be able to speak with him about how he made you feel and ask why he was doing those things? If he still is immature about it I would say, move on and have friends who support you and don't pressure you into things you are not comfortable with or do not want to do.
