I would never say to my hugely overweight friends or family, "wow, you've really gained weight!!" <BR/><BR/>I try to explain it to 'healthy' people like this: you know when you're dieting and you work really hard and eat nothing whatsherfacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767972427264230975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693152411433087582.post-13102554329436980852008-09-20T23:37:00.000-04:002008-09-20T23:37:00.000-04:00Lisa,I was "slimmed down" by the time I got to nur...Lisa,<BR/>I was "slimmed down" by the time I got to nursing school. Went I first went away to college though (right after high school), I definitely had the freshman 15 (or 20)extra pounds on me.

He is skinny too (NO CF). Both of us commented on how we hate being so thin and getting all the wisecracks remarks about how great it must be to be so skinny. If people only knew what it took to gain a pound. I get mad at the magazines that tell you how to loose weight, they never seem to relaize that there are some people who need help Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12354849302798817593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693152411433087582.post-3652899024907949632008-09-19T22:48:00.000-04:002008-09-19T22:48:00.000-04:00Yeah Shea..I agree.

For those of us ...This is one I had to think about. For those of us who are overweight, it is very hard to understand where you are coming from. I'm a 12 now, but I fluctuate. It is so hard shopping with a "thin" friend. There are a whole hosts of stores I still can not shop in because nothing fits. This just makes your self esteem so bad. Still I can try and see it from your angle. I guess the grass is always Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946129852495881105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693152411433087582.post-29020769290955423152008-09-19T15:50:00.000-04:002008-09-19T15:50:00.000-04:00I once dated a larger man, and his family was also...I once dated a larger man, and his family was also overweight. I went shopping with them one day, and we went into Lane Bryant. The entire time I was there, the sales ladies glared at me. It wasn't paranoia- even my ex's family commented on it. If they only knew what I've gone through to get my body like this, perhaps they would have stopped hating me so much.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01946365965905039509noreply@blogger.com
