During a virtual meet up of friends we discussed weight loss (some off us are trying to lose, some not). As one friend expressed her desire to lose 5lbs, another interjected saying she "was ridiculous, doesn't need to lose any weight." (she is overweight). Not at any point did the friend who wants to lose 5lbs express an insecurity of her weight, but would feel "her best" if she was 5lbs less, get a little learner. In no way did the friend who interjected have a right to decide what "thinner" friend should do with her body or why she should or should not lose it (and could have cooled it on the eyerolls). I have lost a tremendous amount of weight before (and gained, obviously), and understand how hard it is to lose weight the thinner you get or are. And that there is a severe misconception of being thin = healthy self-image. An unfortunate myth. So, with that, please understand that everyone's start and finish is unique. And regardless of amount of weight wanting to lose or gain, it's a challenge for all of us.
I know this was written rather corny-like, but I had to.
