For context I'm 5'2 female, my highest weight was 213 lb and Im now currently 153 lb. My goal weight is around 120-130lb so in the middle range of a healthy bmi.
I have some friends and family telling me that I need to stop losing weight. That their concerned that my goal weight is too low for me despite it not being considered under weight for my height. And its making me feel very discouraged.
This is my 2nd serious attempt at weight loss. I previously dieted back in 2015 and went from 160 lb to 134 lb at my lowest before gaining it back and more through some unfortunate life circumstances.
And now that I've lost 60 lbs, I'm suddenly being told that I looked "too thin" back when i was 134 lb and how it made me look like I had a "big lollypop head." They never said this to me back then but are saying it now. And to be honest, back then I still felt a little chubby at 134 lb which is why I want to aim slightly lower this time.
The people telling me this are overweight themselves and want to lose weight but havent made as much progress as me. So I cant help but think theres some jealousy involved.
I dont know what to do about the comments other than to ignore it and still pursue my goal. Im not great at confrontations and Im a bit afraid of the comments they'll make if and when I do hit my goal though.
