Tired of being the fat friend

in Introduce Yourself
My whole life I've been someone's fat friend. I would rather have someone describe me as something else. I have lost weight in the past but, I always manage to not follow through to my goal weight. I love my friends and family but, getting support from your twiggy friends, that can eat whatever they want is difficult. Just looking for some friends that are on the same journey.

    Is your ticker wrong, OP? It says you have 125 lbs to lose... that is a VERY flattering picture of you, if so. You are beautiful! Don't be anyone's fat friend. Find people who don't hang out with you to feel better about themselves.

    I put on weight before joining here and I love it when your thin friend who lives off cigarettes (and most recently cocaine), declares loudly that you look great for putting on weight in front front of friends, family and strangers. CRY!

    Since high school, I've been referred to as 'chubby', 'robust', 'a bit heavy'. It's never to late to start something new and decided this year is dedicated to my health and well being!! I look forward to hearing about your successes and support!

    I started life as the thin friend but for twenty years was the fat friend and resigned to being that way. But not anymore.... and I'm no longer the fattest person at work wither! Feels great but I know exactly what you're going through. Would love to have you as a friend so feel free to add if you want! x

    I hear you. I am always known as the fat funny guy. If I get to my goal weight, will they start calling me a comedian? Cause I will still be funny......

    I understand jojo...or my favorite is you have such a pretty face. I used to be a server at a restaurant and a customer told me I'd be a knock out if I lost 50 to 75 lbs. I wish I could be one of those people who could spit in people's food, but alas all I did was "thank you" to his back handed compliment.

    Ah yes...my first exposure to "you have such a pretty face!" was from a friend's dad in high school. While I knew I wasn't as small as the other girls, I didn't really identify as "fat" as the time...yet that remark made me reevaluate why the rest of my wasn't enough for the "pretty" adjective. Oh well!

    I agree with everything said! Being the fat friend sucks and though they mean well, twiggy friends just don't get it. Anyone feel free to add!
