She Called Her Niece Out For Faking A “Fit Girl Lifestyle” On Social Media After Her Niece Commented On Her Eating Habits During A Family Dinner
This 21-year-old woman has always been very close with her niece Eva, who also happens to be 21.
“Eva’s my best friend, and I love her to bits,” she said.
Being that both of them are “slightly overweight,” though, they both decided in September 2022 to try and lose some weight.
Since then, she has worked to make a ton of lifestyle changes and has actually lost a good amount of weight. Her niece has been trying her best to do the same, too.
And due to the fact that she and Eva planned to “get fit” together, she has been inviting Eva to go to the gym with her or even just go on walks around their neighborhood.
But, each time, Eva just claims not to have time. Or, her niece will just be hanging out with her boyfriend.
So, Eva’s little brother– who is 16– has actually been joining her in her workouts.
“I am really proud of him, as he struggled with a lot of the same issues that come with being overweight,” she noted.
Still, while Eva declines all of her invites to work out, she can’t help but notice that her niece keeps posting on social media about having a “fit girl lifestyle.”

Now, she does think that it would be really great for Eva if it were actually true. However, she claimed that every time Eva saw her boyfriend, her niece would just drive through the McDonald’s drive-thru nearly every day.
She also learned from Eva’s little brother that her niece was just straight-up faking most of those “fit girl lifestyle” posts.
And if she hadn’t found that out, she claimed she would have never even said anything to her niece. After all, she knows it’s Eva’s life, and her niece is entitled to do anything she wants.
Just last Saturday, though, her family got together for dinner. And in the beginning, everything was going great until Eva decided to make a comment about her eating habits.
“Jesus, no wonder you’ve lost so much weight if that’s all you’re eating,” Eva told her.
According to her, however, she had eaten a “very normal” portion of dinner– which included salmon, potatoes, and vegetables.
Still, she let the comment roll off her back– even though Eva didn’t.
Throughout the rest of the dinner, her niece continued to make comments about both her and Eva’s younger brother– talking about how they were working out too much, eating too little, and on their way to developing eating disorders.
So, after a while, she started to get pretty frustrated. And eventually, she snapped at Eva.
“Well, maybe if you stopped eating all those…burgers and actually joined us for once, you would feel less insecure. Then, you would have real content to post on your socials,” she told Eva.
After she said that, the entire dinner table went quiet, and her niece burst into tears. Then, Eva claimed to be “doing the best she could” and pointed out how watching her weight loss had been really triggering.
Finally, Eva left the dinner table and headed back to her bedroom. It was at that point that Eva’s boyfriend accused her of being way too harsh on her niece, and the rest of the dinner was pretty awkward.
Eva never returned to the table, and she wound up heading home once the meal ended. And when she got back, her aunt reached out and told her she should apologize to Eva after saying such a mean comment.
However, she stood her ground and claimed she would only apologize if Eva did, too, since she believed Eva’s comments about her eating habits were also hurtful.
Eva has since refused to do that, though, and actually just won’t talk to her until she apologizes. And despite her own mother and brother being on her side, her aunt and uncle are still upset with her.
So now, she’s been left wondering whether calling her niece out for faking a “fit girl lifestyle” on social media was actually a jerky thing to do.
Do you think Eva started it by making comments about her eating habits? At the same time, can you understand how her weight loss might have just made Eva jealous or insecure? Should she apologize, or should Eva? What would you do?
