I’ve been trying to lose weight and recently got into the gym. I used to weigh 225 and now I’m down to 215, and I’m really proud of that. A big part of it has been staying in a calorie deficit, and I’ve been following influencers who post healthy, low-calorie recipes to help me stay on track.

One of the influencers I follow is a woman who makes high-protein versions of fast food recipes (like a Chick-fil-A burrito I love). She posts great ideas and I only follow her for the recipes. I don’t like or engage with her workout videos or anything else—just the cooking content because it helps me reach my goals.

My girlfriend is very jealous, and she told me I need to unfollow this girl. She says I care more about following her than respecting her. I’ve tried to explain that I don’t see it as disrespectful—I’m not interested in this influencer romantically, I just want to improve myself. I don’t think I should be forced to unfollow someone just because she’s a woman.

Is this an overreaction on her part? I don’t feel like I’m doing anything wrong.
