Ht. 5'1, Wt. 10 stone - Hi, I have a friend who is always trying to stop me from losing weight, I have gained 2 stone over the past 2 years from eating junk food and when i start to lose some weight and feel good she gets all annoyed with me and doesnt speak to me for about a week, i dont know why she does this, she is skinny and is the weight i used to be when i was really happy and confident. I always feel guilty now about wanting to lose weight in case i lose my friend, she tries to get me to eat fatty foods and then laughs at me when i cant get into my clothes and she always looks really nice when we go out and i feel fat and a mess. When i lose weight though i feel really good and boys chat me up, she doesnt seem to like this though and she starts an argument with me and goes off and then we fall out, so then i start to eat more so that my friend makes up with me again and when ive put more weight on she is nice to me again and the cycles starts all over again, does anyone know what i should do, i really want to lose weight but my friend doesnt want me to, i feel depressed the weight i am because my clothes dont fit me and i feel tired all the time and unhealthy (Note: 1 stone (st) equals 14 pounds.)

Reply from Lizzy, Age 14 - 04/18/06 - IP#: 70.133.170.xxx this girl doesn't sound like a very good friend. she sounds like she doesn't want you to look better just so she cn feel better about herself. if i were you i would lose the weight and if she isnt happy for you then tell her thats her problem but you want to be healthy and happy. tue friends should care about you and want to make you happy.
Reply from Claire, Age 17 - 04/18/06 - IP#: 24.239.149.xxx your friend doesn't want you to? in my opinion, that doesn't matter at all. It's YOUR life, it's your choice and if you feel unhealthy and the need to lose weight then what anyone else thinks or says shouldn't effect you in any way. Good Luckk!

Reply from nicole, Age 16 - 04/18/06 - IP#: 68.104.116.xxx is your friend overweight- it kinds sounds like she is depressed and she nags you about loosing weight because she knows if you do you will be healthier and thinner and get more attention than she will- its probably a jealousy thing- sit her down and ask her why she gets mad when you try to loose weight- let us know how it goes
Reply from Ash, Age 19 - 04/18/06 - IP#: 143.235.142.xxx I think you need to talk to your friend about why she is making you feel so bad. It sounds like she doesn't want you to be healthy or happy because when you lose weight she gets mad at you. I think she gets jealous that guys talk to you and she doesn't like the attention you are getting. I don't think you guys have a good relationship because of her and her selfish ideas. I think its only your responsibility to lose the weight because it makes you happy and it will put your life to where you want it to go. BE CONFIDENT IN YOURSELF!!!!!!!
