IF you surround yourself with good looking people then good looking people will flock to you. You'd have to know her she's a real piece of work.
Apparently she gets it from their mom who thinks all fat people are lazy. She likes to say "you didn't get fat from walking and inhaling air did you?"  Needless to say I've gone rounds with both of them but I've met a handful of others that were like them.  |

OMG, your sisters friend sounds like a real witch! I wonder what would happen if one of her friends got fat. She sounds like she'd drop them right away. What if she got fat? Then maybe she'd regret ever saying that! I used to be considered attractive and thin by most people aside from my very critical mother, but I never really cared about attracting other attractive people.
I only cared about if I could get along with them, and if they were decent and trustworthy people that I could count on to be there for me most of the time. Not all fat people are lazy. There are plenty of thin or average sized people who are lazy out there. Being fat has a lot to do with genetics and having a slow metabolism most of the time. I could exercise all day and be on the strictest diet on the planet, but I'll never be a healthy size 0. Nor do I want to be. I'd be happy at being a size 6 now!
