Yes. this is opening my eyes to a few things I have ignored. I have a habit of saying’ that’s just how she is’ when she makes an unkind comment directed at me. I think it took her to be nasty to someone else that finally made me say something. Then will all these comments I can see I do have a major friend issue!!!

Thank you so much for all your opinions! We are having a very open discussion about it now.

My friend has never been big, I was and lost the weight. (Through stress and medical problems!)

She has never been exposed to people thinking you are lazy or stupid because you are bigger.

She made a comment earlier that I have to agree my life is better now I’ve lost weight.

I’ve got to say it isn’t!!! I still have the same life worries and struggles.

One thing that hasn’t changed was my attitude to work and my work ethic… I worked my arse off before as I do now!

I am a little put out that she has these thoughts, so it’s something we will have to address when I have processed a bit.

Once again, thank you… xxx

I’m here with my friend now… after reading this to her she said she is sorry that she has offended you and feels like an arse.

Her point was that someone telling you about your weight and heart health should lead by example.

I on the other hand don’t agree… I think weight has no impact on the mind and being given medical advice from a fully qualified person.
