Make it your goal to make yourself the priority. Life's too short!. Like the song by Fantsia goes "I'm doing me". Do you! Your friend should respect your wishes and encourage you to do what's best for you not what works for her. Good luck!
I agree - it really does make it easier and holds you accounable. Last night I found out a whole wheat peanut butter sandwich was 500 calories! I will never eat anither until I reach my goal weight. - good luck to you!
