    You're really smart to be proactive and take care of your health when you're young. Don't be ashamed of that. Your friends probably resent that you're having more success than they are (or else they're not ready to try getting healthy yet). Maybe if you're spending time with one of them apart from the others you could casually mention that what they're doing is embarrassing or hurtful. As others have mentioned, maybe you can try to move away from always going out to eat with them so what you choose to eat/not eat isn't a big deal. You also might try to start making some other friends if you can, at school or in an exercise class if you're in one.

    You're at the age I was when I started realizing how totally different I was from my high school friends. We eventually grew apart because we had different interests and different priorities in life. You want people in your life who are going to support you and what's important to you, and if your friends don't ease up on making fun of you, maybe they're not the friends you thought they were after all.
