So i'm not really sure where this kind of thing would go but I need to get it off my chest.
I have recently started this journey to a happier, healthier me. I have a few close friends that I see multiple times a week. The first is the one who actually got me into and has been going to the gym with me ( being new to the gym scene I felt nervous and overwhelmed) and has always been at a healthy weight.
The second has always been somewhat overweight. She had a baby almost a year ago and has been complaining about her weight ever since. She wants to wait til it gets warm out to go walking and hope that she can lose some weight and wants me to walk with her.
Here is my issue. I do not believe in preaching to people when it comes to weight loss. Either you want to do it or you dont. I was uncomfortable in my body and decided I did not want to be fat the rest of my life. I am taking the This friend is asking me if there are certain things I recommend, what foods I eat, what exercises I do. Thats great, I'll tell you the plan i'm working with, the stuff I'm doing, the times I go to the gym, and I take it that she's also interested in losing the weight. Then she makes excuses why she can't do any of that and tells me shes thinking of taking a "fat burner" pill...
Why ask me and let me go through everything if in the end you're not going to "hear" a word I've said and just do something you consider "easier" than the hard work.
I feel like its almost a slap in the face. "While you're monitoring calories, and exercising daily and breaking a sweat, I'm going to try this pill and hope I lose weight"
I'm sorry if this seems mean, it's just something that i've been dealing with a few times a week lately and I'm not sure how to handle it.
Advice is GREATLY appreciated!!!
