skinny friends don't get it!

I thought I was imagining things, but I too think that people who have always been skinny never get weight loss and how hard it can be. Luck for me I have a really supportive family and one of my best mates who has lost a lot of weight so know what its like.

I too have friends like that. I am really close with my friends family and they are always saying can't you just watch what you eat? Well if I could contol myself 24/7 would I look like this? I feel like saying thats a stupid question. And its always the skinny ones. My friend is skinny and she was like I know how you feel I was fat when I was younger. 1st of all she was young and she was chubby at best. She tells me can't you just eat what you want but in small portions? Yeah in theory I suppose I do but it almost never happens. I eat fairly healthy. I swear I could eat just lettuce and stay fat. Finally we were talking about my wanting surgery and she was finally starting to think in a different way. She said well I guess your right you do have genetics playing a roll. She eats what she wants and stays thin so she couldn't possibly get it even though she thinks she does. I think what made her different view was because I was trying to educate her on it. And I told her that chances are if I diet alone I may lose some but will never lose all and it would be a constant yo yo as it has in the past. I have a bad back I've had surgery and my back can hardly carry me around and I want kids and to live life like everyone else gets too with out worrying about wether or not people are judging me and staring at me and giving dirty looks. I don't know about you but I have this thing when I grocery shop I feel like people judge me by looking at whats in my cart. Its always healthy things but I feel like by the way they look that they are thinking they were going to find 6 boxes of twinkies and 2 gallons of ice cream just because I'm fat.
