HEY guys I am in a bit of a pickel. One of my best friends is dangerously overweight. She is about 5'7" and 260 pounds. I feel really bad for her because everytime I talk about me losing 50 pounds she gets really quiet. I am still a size 10-12 so I am not that small, but even when we talk about shopping she is always like "well they don't sell "big girl" clothes there". I don't know if I should try to help her and I don't know what I would say to even ask her. Please E-mail me if anyone has any suggestions. Selenafan@pa.net Thanks!

Support her and let her do it in her own time, but u u are really worried about her .sit down and talk to her ...tell her ...how u feel, just point out to her that you are worried and that maybe u both can work ojut together. Just tell her that you are doing it to get in shape, but not that u want to be smaller, this may make her think that you see her as very very big if u see youerself big. Just give her support. Im about her size, and iv been working on getting smaller. well i was her wight i am now 222. Just work on it slowly if u want to emaile me its dmfirth2003@hotmail.com
