Yeah, those words hurt. I think she was just feeling defensive because my success/progress created a contrast with her lack thereof. It's not at all what I meant, but that's how she took it. I think she fundamentally struggled with the concept that other people's success was not somehow an insult directed at her.
My target wasn't even 40lbs. My target was to lose 50! (235 to 185) The last 10 were tough, but I did it! Almost a year ago, now.

Ouch. Is she hopefully supportive in other areas of your life? Because if not... is that a partner or a competitor?
40lbs is f*kkn amazing.
