I totally support any effort to create boundaries from a person who has a negative impact on your life. Obviously, we can't always control this, but this case, drawing a line and saying friendship won't work seems like a really good, sanity-promoting, act of self-care. You don't need to be jerked around. I hope that you can surround yourself by friends and other people in your life who are positive, supportive, make you want to be your best self. And that you can embrace your own inner awesomeness and reclaim the energy that you had been putting into that relationship into new, life-giving endeavors and your health goals, too.
Also, looking at your profile, I realize we have a lot in common - both in VA, same height, and same starting weight. Except you are about 15 pounds ahead of me in weight loss. Congrats on your progress!
