Sabatoging Friends?

[Cleopatra_J]

Do you ever have a friend who's NOT supportive of your workout/weight loss goals?

I have a friend, I call her "The Asian", she is such a saboteur!! She is always saying she wants to lose weight as well (while I think she's small, she always says she's fat for an Asian & when she goes to Korea they call her fat!!) but yet she always wants to eat fried foods and cupcakes. Like yesterday for example, we went to our Squash class. After class we stayed like 40 minutes later to get some extra play time. After it was over, we were both hungry, she wants to go get ice cream. I'm like yo, you can't workout and then want to get ice cream. Fight the temptation. Today its ice cream, tomorrow is fried buffalo tenders @ our favorite happy hour spot...

Or, we try to go to the gym together and she (being my ride currently since my car has been totaled) wants to either leave early, or gets there late because of her BS'ing I miss my class I want to take. Or she half asses the free weights, and makes me feel like I need to rush because she's ready to go..

Any one else ever had friends that you feel don't support you goals??

:yes:I think of my sabotaging friends or family as the ones who are always complimenting me when i gain a little weight, but when I lose it and feel that I am looking at my best they don't say anything.

I can't stand those people. If they cant be supportive they can at least be quiet.

OH god! the people who say things are bad too!!

Yes they are. Its sad because people do really well pairing up for fitness. Rather than discourage they should encourage.
