That is the oddest statement I have ever heard from a "friend". You're a drag because you want to get healthier, live a better and longer life?? Okkkkkay then. I would limit my involvement with her if I'm every feeling weak (which is often when it comes to changing eating habits and exercising). Anyway, she must have some serious issues.
Your weight may be stagnant because of dehydration. Now I'm not sure if you drink other fluids so let us know, they do count toward ones hydration though they often dont help us in other ways, such as having too many calories or chemicals whose names we cannot even pronounce. But we get a lot of water from our foods, and if you used to eat upwards of 3,000 calories in a day, you're getting even a lot less fluids now that you've cut your calories in half. Try adding an ounce of fruit juice to a glass of water or try green tea.
As to the box of cupcakes, I've been known to put a whole box away myself. Note that I did this back in the day at 128 lbs, so you can actually eat that stuff sometimes at your goal weight as long as you make up for it the next day by cutting back a little or exercising a bit more.
