How to deal with sensitive overbearing Friend?
I have a very close friend who has become kind of overbearing. She is extremely tuned into her own emotions, and her overall health. She takes a very eastern approach to most things in her life, believing strongly in the power of foods and supplements as the source of and answer to all of life's problems. While I think her views are interesting, I don't feel the need to apply them all to my life. One particular issue right now, is my weight. I exercise all the time, am very conscious of what I eat and maintain what would be classified as an overall healthy lifestyle. Yet I can not lose weight. My girlfriend feels that she is an expert on this topic, and has done a lot of research, but I feel like she is starting to shove things down my throat as opposed to just making suggestions and letting me go. The problem is she is very sensitive so I feel like I can't just say back off. Any advice as to how to address this?
This person IS my friend, so I don't think offending her is a very loving thing to do.

Tell her that ur doctor designed a diet plan to help you lose weight and that the doctor said not to try anything else (her plan). But in case you try this, you should probably try to actually lose weight so she doesn't get suspicious. To make her feel better though you could listen to her advice, but don't actually use it unless you want to.
