Ugh. I hate shit like that. It's almost worse when it's well meant from someone you like, because you can't just shrug it off with a "Fuck them, I'm fabulous!"
This isn't the same as telling you that your skirt is tucked into the back of your tights. I don't want my friends to point out their perceived flaws in the way I look. DO THEY THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT MY TEETH COULD USE SOME WHITENING?!
She does know about the recent weight loss. She thought it was a "great start."
She is sort of rude. Well, blunt. Like I am. We are very alike, although my other co-workers swear that my bluntness is delicately laced with humor and a tad more sensitivity. LOL.
She really does mean well. She is the one who got promoted here, and, without her, I probably wouldn't have gotten this job. (I got her old job.) She wants me to rise up like she has.
Honestly? I would no longer consider this person my friend.
I know I've gained weight, but even my own BFF would say something like "Hey you want to go hiking with me this weekend?" And that's enough for me to know that maybe my weight gain is showing. The reason she hasn't flat out told me I've gained weight is because you know.....she actually cares about my feelings and stuff.
Screw that chick. That was hurtful and unnecessary.
To add to what I already said, I am also side eyeing the shit out of her that in order for you to rank up, it requires a change in appearance and weight loss. F'THAT!

Seriously, WTF. What did she think was going to be the end result of this interaction? "Oh, WOW, you're right about all these things! I'll get right on it!"

It's not a requirement. Of course, it's not a requirement.
I didn't realize that you changed careers and are now a Victoria's Secret model. I mean...I can't really think of other careers that you get ahead by looking a certain way.
