Do you ever want to self-sabotage your weight loss journey after hearing people try to motivate you to keep up the good work because being overweight/obese is bad for you?

Obviously being overweight isn't ideal. But for some reason when people tell me it's "bad" to be overweight I want to rebell. But then I'm just self-sabotaging my progress. Idk if this makes any sense. I guess it just feels like who I am now is bad? It wasn't even said in a bullying or judgemental manner. My friend was just trying to explain to me that it's not healthy, it can lead to diabetes and other health problems and hoped to motivate me to not quit by saying this stuff to me. But all it did was make me annoyed because it's not my motivation for losing weight. I hate to say it but my motivation for losing weight has come from people telling me being overweight is bad, being normal weight is good. I know it should be for myself too. I'm not just very self motivated and losing weight is SO stressful on my mental health... Idk, this became a full on vent. Hope I made sense.
