She has told me that I'm pretty before, and some people, including my husband think that I'm pretty still although I don't think that I am most of the time.
She's not ugly IMHO. She's O.K looking. I don't sense any resentment from her at all. She has been nicer to me than anyone else has been to me most of the time in my entire life! I think that she just made a tactless and ignorant comment and has probably regretted saying that. So I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. I'm almost certain that IF she does make any comments of this nature again, that she'll back off and not make them anymore once I kindly but firmly tell her not to do so. She is normally a pretty polite person.
I'm sorry to hear about your problems-  Honestly, there are some women who do and can appreciate and love an overweight guy who is kind to them, a good listener, funny, smart, and just a great guy in general. You need to be more confident to attract women. Men can be really brutal with overweight women, ugh! Even the overweight ones, it's terrible! I can't tell if my friend is addicted to a healthy lifestyle or not. She doesn't go overboard with things. She still eats sweets and carbs all the time. Just in moderation.
Sorry to hear about your sugar addiction. I'm sort of addicted to drinking to much at times which isn't good for my weight either. I'm a binge drinker. I drink at home when I'm depressed and stressed out. I also love carbs, but I try not to eat to much of the bad kinds most of the time. I hope that you can overcome your sugar addiction sometime soon. |
Thanks for your kind words.
Yeah, I don't know. I've learnt to expect the unexpected from many people to be honest. I really just don't get why your friend would suddenly begin to say such things. Maybe she is just trying to protect your feelings by warning you about how people don't like fat people, that it is not her sentiments but she thinks she knows how people think. But, that being said, that is a little worrying though, sometimes when people say you should watch out for other people because they think this and that, then it's usually the case that that person themselves has that stuff running around in their head. It's a tough call, I think let's give your friend the benefit of the doubt for now.
