My friend refused to believe I lost weight

Over lunch with a close friend, going to the gym was a topic and I mentioned that I’ve lost over 15 lbs since I moved back home. He said:

“What? Really? But why do you still look so fat?”

This took me by surprise but then I said “Oh maybe because you see me often so you don’t notice any difference”, hoping this will give him a way out to end the conversation but he continued:

“Nope, I don’t see you that often. If you looked different, I’d have seen it.”

I didn’t know what to say. I’m not sure what he wanted me to say? That I lied? But I didn’t. The scale doesn’t lie, my clothes don’t lie, my progress pics sure don’t. But i wasn’t gonna sit there and prove that to him, I didn’t go on this health journey for him.

It just made me upset that for a good minute, I really doubted myself because it was really hard for me to see the change in my body until lately and he made me question myself again. I stopped eating and just lost all appetite. People are so cruel sometimes...even ones who claim to love you the most.
