Give Me a Break!!!

One of my very small friends (she wears a size extra small) got very upset with me yesterday. She has been saying that she is fat and needs to loose weight for atleast a year now (come on, she's a size XS and I have over 100lbs to loose, don't talk to me about fat!). Well, she told me yesterday that she has lost 13lbs, and I said "Where could you have possibly had an extra 13 lbs?" then I said "No, I'm happy for you." then I teased her a little again saying things like "I wish I were as fat as you are". I know it was insensative of me to down play her acheivement, but isn't it insensative of her to parade her tiny little butt in front of me and holler that she is fat at the same time? Anyway she is very upset with me now.

Maybe she did have weight she wanted to lose, and perhaps she lost it. So perhaps just "congrats" would have been in order?

yes, I did, as a matter of fact. I lost 15 pounds, 10% body fat, several dress sizes...which took me almost 4 years to do, through developing healthier eating habits, and exercising.

I was totally clueless when I started out, was in total denial I had a problem, even though I'd drink 4 Cokes a day and eat a bag of Doritos and a can of Spam for dinner while sitting unmoving in front of my computer all day, and gained almost 40 pounds in the 3 years I was at university. (I was underweight before that)

So, now I have educated myself and am studying to be a certified group fitness leader and want to HELP and support and advise to the best of my abilities.

How about YOU? *smirk*
