This women I've known for a couple of years used to be nice. We started losing weight around the same time, and we'd congratulate each other and support each other. I had recently quit my job and she had not worked in a number of years.

Then a year ago, I got the job I currently have, and lost loads of weight and am average now, and her weight loss stalled and she has almost 60 more pounds to lose. (She said that.)

Her attitude has changed, sort of drastically.

She does not really talk to me anymore. I catch her giving me dirty looks and just frowning at me.

Then last week we had a conversation that went like this:

Her: did you exercise this morning?
Me: no, I usually do 3-4
Her: "I" excercised this morning

Was she trying to one up me? It seemed like it.

Then a couple of days ago she said

"Look at her texting so fast." And some other guy laughed.

Why did her attitude change so much over the past year? I don't really talk to anyone about my accomplishments.

Should I just ignore her? Or should I say something?

Women get weird about weight and competitive. Just chalk it up to jealousy and be done. A woman who is jealous cannot be a real friend.

She's consumed with envy. Watch your back; she has 60 pounds on you.

Good on you for making positive changes in your life. Hope you are feeling healthier and happier.

I applaud people who can lose weight. She may not be jealous of you at all. It could be the fact that her life has stalled at the moment.

If you want to find out if there is a problem maybe ask her if she is okay.

Not all women get weird about weight.
Thanks for this!

I wouldn't call this a woman thing. Many times when we make positive changes in our lives we catch flak from people who we thought were friends. Some people can't handle changes and can not be happy for someone who is progressing in their life.
