Yeah, I hear ya. There are "friends" who seem to delight in saying "you don't need to lose any weight!" and "aww, just have ONE BEER!" or otherwise giving me shit over food choices.

The bone spur on my heel has been a great weight loss tool.

Already lost some flab. I don't recommend trying the bone spur system of fat loss, even though it works.
