My friend and I are shopping, and see an outfit that we both like.
Friend says 'oh I think that will look great, you should get it, it will give you an incentive to lose a few pounds.
Yeah, lose around 5 pounds, what you need is a sickness bug, I know that's what did the trick for me'
All said in jest in a 'nice' way of course. The subject also keeps getting mentioned. Also this is quite a typical comment of said friend.
It's like she's trying to bring it to my attention to make me aware, for my own best interests.
For the record I do need to lose a few pounds, I know it but I never go on about it.
Am I being over sensitive by thinking it's not a very nice thing for a friend to say or should I suck it up as being just simple honesty.
Like I say, this is a rather typical comment from her, so it is the bigger picture that's bothering me not just this incident.
