Someone I went to school with is like that, they post the Pro body positivity and healthy at any size bullshit all the time. I lost 36kg counting calories and ran into them out one night just after I'd reached the lightest I've ever been. I was pretty happy about it but didn't want to bring it up because there was already a weird tension since I was always the fat kid and now the roles had kind of reversed, I didn't even mention my weight but sure enough there was a post after the weekend about not "bragging about your weightloss" because it affects other people's self worth.

She was a nice person but definitely had some serious self image issues that she tried to put on other people.

It’s your fault for improving yourself and physically existing in her vicinity. Show off

I had odd reactions from the hippie type folks I was friends with in college when I started lifting. "Careful you don't hurt yourself." "I prefer to exercise more naturally" Even had an ex girlfriend (who's gained a lot of weight since we dated) flip out on me a few months ago on Facebook when we were chatting and I mentioned some stuff about fitness

Crabs in a bucket.
