Skinny Best Friends.

I have a best friend.

 

We met in 5th grade & are now 25.

 

We are a match made in best friend heaven, perfectly weird complimenting personalities.

 

Since High School we have been on the journey (among others) of being fat together. We would eat constantly, joke about how fat we are. It was our thing, eating was our best social time, nothing is better than mindlessly stuffing your face while having great conversation. When we weren't eating we'd joke about how fat we were & that "tomorrow we'll get skinny" as we stuff another cheeseburger in our mouth. Sure we had our brief periods of "getting skinny", they never lasted. We'd get bored, so we'd eat. We'd get sad, so we'd eat. We'd get drunk, so we'd eat. We'd be social, so we'd eat. Everything in our life came back to food.

 

In September of this year I came to her with the idea of WLS & doing it together. We talked about how AMAZING it'd be to be skinny, but how scary it was, & what a huge life change.

 

The subject was dropped. December rolled around & it was brought up again. Maybe we could do it, a mutual friend had VSG 8 months prior & is already down 100 pounds! WE could lose a 100 pounds, if we just make the sacrifice. It was decided, WLS was what we needed, both individually & together.

 

In 2013 I will undergo the biggest change of my entire life & be lucky enough to do it WITH my best friend. I can't wait to actually see us skinny.

 

(If you'd like to look her up it's JPSnAZ, she a hoot)

My best friend is getting sleeved January 7th and I am getting sleeved April 2nd. We sound just like you and your best friend. We met the summer before 7th grade and we were the only fat girls in our grade, so we stuck together. We hated that we were fat, but man we loved to have what we called "fat days" where we just ate everything that crossed our path lol. We had our babies together, we got divorced together, now we are getting on with our lives together. We are getting sleeved together and we are getting remarried a month apart. The greatest thing about all of this is that we have never really planned any of it. It all just always happened together lol. We are very excited to be moving on to this next step in our lives together. She is getting married May 2014, I am getting married June 2014, and I am hoping that our next babies will be born together and be best friends like our 4 year olds are. Having her do this with me makes me feel 1000 times better :-) I couldn't imagine having to do this on my own!
