Jane had gained about 50 pounds during her pregnancy, and she was struggling to lose the baby weight. Her friend, M, who had no kids, started making comments about diet and exercise but was careful not to say anything directly about Jane’s weight.
The Push for Health
M would offer Jane only healthy snacks and would try to convince her to go on walks. However, Jane was exhausted from going back to work full-time and taking care of her baby. She was already eating healthy and exercising when she could, but M’s constant push for exercise and nutrition was starting to become annoying.
The Annoyance
Jane became frustrated with M’s constant push for exercise and nutrition, even though she was already doing her best to take care of herself and her baby. She started telling M outright that she hadn’t lost any of the baby weight, even though she had dropped about 15 pounds.
The Lie
Jane decided to take matters into her own hands. She started telling M outright that she hadn’t lost any of the baby weight, even though she had dropped about 15 pounds. This was a lie, and Jane knew it, but she was tired of M’s constant push for exercise and nutrition.
The Funny Situation
M kept going on and on about diet and exercise, even though Jane had lost all the baby weight and fit into her old clothes. A mutual friend pointed out to M that Jane had lost weight, but M still didn’t believe it.
The Reveal
One day, a mutual friend said to M that Jane was looking good lately after losing weight, and M insisted to her that Jane hadn’t lost any at all. The friend pointed out that Jane was obviously much thinner and said M probably hadn’t seen her lately. But she had just seen Jane the day before.
The Confession
So the next time Jane met M, she asked, “DID YOU LOSE WEIGHT AND NOT TELL ME?” Jane said, yeah, maybe a bit? M thought Jane was an mean person for telling her all along that she hadn’t lost weight.
The Explanation
But Jane explained to M that she had been tired of her constant push for exercise and nutrition, and that she had felt like M didn’t understand how difficult it was to lose baby weight.
The Resolution
Jane and M were able to talk through their issues and come to a better understanding of each other’s perspectives. Jane explained to M that she appreciated her concern for her health, but that she also needed to feel supported and understood.
The Realisation
M realized that she needed to be more sensitive to her friend’s feelings and to recognize that everyone’s body is different.
Lesson Learnt
They both learned valuable lessons about the importance of supporting and understanding each other, even when they didn’t always see eye to eye. In the end, Jane and M were able to move past their disagreement and continue their friendship.
Communication Is Key
They both realized that it was important to communicate openly and honestly with each other, and to be supportive of each other’s goals and struggles.
The Relief
Jane felt relieved that she was able to express her feelings to M and that M was able to understand where she was coming from. She felt like their friendship had become stronger as a result of their disagreement, and that they were able to move forward with a better understanding of each other.
An Important Experience
M also felt like she had learned a lot from the experience, and that she had become a better friend as a result. She realized that it was important to be supportive of her friends, but also to be sensitive to their feelings and to recognize that everyone’s journey is different.
A Better Friendship
Overall, the experience taught both Jane and M the importance of empathy, understanding, and open communication in their friendship. They both felt grateful for the opportunity to grow and learn together, and they knew that their friendship would only continue to strengthen over time.
The Internet Responded
One person said, “I mean, you didn’t lie to her. You were happy with your body at your new weight every single time. She just didn’t want to notice that your weight was different each time you responded.
Another had this to say, “M sounds like a “friend” you need to dump. Who behaves like that?”
The Internet Was Divided
More comments said this, “This is the only example of gaslighting I’ve supported! She deserved every moment of embarrassment.”
And another chose to comment this, “See, this is weird to me. I understand you tried to put up a boundary but it was just so vague. Instead of “I’m happy the way I am” say what you MEAN.”
