Kate Moss with two fat girls. It's iconic. The last thing your skinny friends want is for you to be skinnier. It might have to do with evolution. A few hundred or thousand years ago they might have seen the skinny as ready to drop dead, but the tides of weight have turned. It seems that women compete for men and since men like attractive THIN women, bigger women are the disadvantaged. What better way for that thin woman to show off her beauty than be in the company of dullards and fatties. I was adored by my thin buddies. Or so I thought.
"Oh I'm sooo FAT," she croons as she slips into a size 6 and I'm lucky to fit into a 20 with stretch. (That was 10 years back!)
I know you've heard it. They do it for a reason--everyone needs to know someone less fortunate than they are. What I say? Fight back. There is a hen-pecking order and when women loose weight or look better, some of their so-called friends just can't accept it. I lost 150 pounds. and never had plsatic surgery.
When I became divalicious I lost a few of them. There I was walking down the hallways where I worked in size 6 jeans, turtleneck and a hip belt. I didn't shove it in their face. I wore a tailored suit jacket and always was a LADY. "You changed," said one work buddy. Yes, but I was still the same person inside. She could not adjust to the fact that I was attractive. A few days later she took me to lunch and demanded I accept the Tira-mi-su for desert. I refused and soon thereafter our 20 year friendship was done.
Where are you in this mix? I'd like to know. I slip into the size 6 now. I am always the elegant lady (look below). But I would NEVER think of rubbing that fact into anyone's face.
