Ht. 5'4, Wt. 236 - Would you guys like to be 5'7 and 140 but look 115-120 because of a lot of muscle, my best friend is like that and is always complaining because of the "number" as she puts it. She really makes me mad cause she looks great shes just has eally muscular legs from soccer. wat do i tell her, is she doing it for attention?

A lot of time people do that so they can hear "Oh no, your so skinny. I wish I could have your body. It's so great." Just ignore it when they say that, or say, "well do something about it." Guarantee it'll throw them off track and they wont say it to you anymore.

sometimes that stuff is for attention. Like my best friend is a track star and as senior this year in her career has captured 11 state titles...in cross country and track and she is 5'9 and weighs 130 pounds and sits there calling herself fat when i sit next to her and i'm think9i9ng "Hello? if you're fat then well...i'm a blue whale..." but, yeah, it used to bug me when she'd say that but then she explained that she's heavy for a runner...not for a person. but still, i know what you're saying.

whatever you do, dont confront her about it and say she doesnt really feel the way she does because there is no way for you to KNOW for sure. just try to give supportive comments and if you get really annoyed after doing this a lot just say : "listen you might think what you have isnt enough but you need to love what you have. period. i dont want to talk about this anymore with you, it only upsets me."
