I'm fat! And while I'm sure there are some people that might have sniggered behind my back, I am so grateful my husband has never turned on me. Despite me knowing he doesn't like the weight. Our circle of friends (mostly his friends) have also never let me feel anything less for the way I look. I always try to dress pretty when we go out, despite my size, and a number of times I've been complimented. I'm grateful for that.

I haven't read this entire thread, but that friend sounds so insensitive to me.
