God Bless My Skinny BFF, But...

Dec 26, 2009

So, every time she see's me she says I look great and wonderful and amazing and she's so proud of me...!  This is nice and sweet, but since I've known her for 27 years, I can also read beneath her words to the meaning beneath.

What she really means is that the smaller I get, the more pressured she's going to feel to get in shape.  She's gotten up to about 130 lbs and isn't happy about it, but she doesn't really want to work out or eat better/less.  I've always told her she's going to have to make changes or embrace her new curves, but she's never taken heed.

The truth came out the other day when she told me that her intended likes women my size and shape more than hers.  I told her he loves her and not to worry about what kind of women he normally or used to go for.  He's so sweet on her, it's silly.  :o)

I had to break it down to her by saying that I didn't go through the hell and the horror of getting my inards mangled to still be obese.  I need to lose 25 more lbs until I'm JUST overweight.  Then to have a normal BMI, I need to lose another 35 - 40 from there.

She claims that she now understands now that I broke down the numbers, but I swear we've spoken about the details a million times before.

I'm sure this message is all over the place, but my kids and husband are interrupting me every 5 seconds.  Sorry!  :o)
