I think that most people are judgemental in one form or another. We live half an hour away from each other, but if we lived closer, maybe she'd join me for walks. She has tried to give me dieting tips in the past when I asked for them.
I'm petty good at knowing what to eat and not eat, but I don't exercise enough, which I need to start doing soon. Like I said, I honestly think that she just lacks a bit of tact. If she was being truly mean to me in order to hurt my feelings, then I wouldn't be her friend. No one is perfect, so that's the only thing about her that I don't like.
She has been pretty nice to me at other times. She always takes me out for my B-day, gives me gifts for Xmas, and she is always there for me when I need to talk to her. I think that she is just a bit naive. Also, she was born in Asia, and over there, there is a tremendous amount of pressure to be thin ad successful in most of those countries it seems like.
I will definitely tell her to not make those comments again if she does as I already know that I need to loose weight and that those comments bother me. I know that she won't say anything after that as she is a polite person at heart.
