I've decided to lose weight (not in a drastic way) and hope to lose around 2 stone by this time next year, which would make me 9 stone.
Quite a few people have said to me "you're fine as you are", "you don't need to lose any weight".
Don't get me wrong, it's nicer to hear then "yeah you are a fat cow and could do with losing some" - but at least they would be being honest I suppose.
A friend of mine was 10 stone 7 originally, and then at her lowest she was just under 9 stone. She is 5'5 and I thought she looked lovely and not disgustingly thin. If she had got to a dangerous point then I would of course have said something.
But the whole topic of conversation revolved around her weight loss, how she was looking thin, how she's obviously not eating, how they're so worried about her. The friend who lost the weight never mentioned it and told me she got quite annoyed with the comments.
Does weight loss bring out the green eyed monster in people?
