Ah I see. I'm the opposite, I'm the type to starve myself when depressed, so I guess I can see it from another point.
So I should just leave her?

I see, well thanks for telling me starlight and I'm sorry for being harsh, it's the worst thing about me I guess.YES!! You may find the more you push her the more she'll resist. When shes ready she'll do it... just let her find her own time to start
Thanks I guess. I dunno if that was sarcastic but thanks anyway ^_^
Yeah, I never understood what BMI was to be honest LOL. I started knowing about BMI about around the time I started LT.Yup!
Let me put it another way, looking at your ticker at your heaviest your BMI was 35.5. Why didn't you do something about your weight before it reached that stage, how long were you overweight for and would there have been anything anyone could of said to you that would have made you suddenly go on a diet? I don't know your weight/dieting history but maybe turning the situation round may provide some insight.

Thank you, happy new year to you too. I am very sorry, yes it's a sensitive subject, I should be more sensitive. Funny, I'm starting to turn into my mum...argh.Whether it is intended or not, every time I read a comment like this I feel like a dig at me personally. I know that it was not but it is a very sensitive subject and it just hits a nerve. :cry:
I do understand your frustration at your friend but it's never that black and white.
Have a fabulous new year and good luck with your weight loss

Oh, alright then. I just hope she does, she's a stubborn one.Yep, leave her until she's ready. You'll know when that is, because the focus will be less on the problem and more on the solution.
. Funny, I'm starting to turn into my mum...argh.
Well, she's a picky. She picks at food, eats really late. Does all these things. She doesn't control what she puts in her mouth.Are you sure she wants help? Are you sure she wants that more than someone as a sounding board when she wants to have a rant?
In what way does it get worse?
totally agree Georgie![]()
She doesn't control what she puts in her mouth.
Ah. Good for you love. I've never really had anyone on my case about weight since both my sisterd are worse then me, so I was ignored when it came to that subject. So I guess I don't truly have an understanding.It is definately the lightbulb moment that is important.
For years my mam kept referring to my weight but I did nothing about it, didn't talk about it either even when each time I bought something it was a bigger size.
Then one day my head was in the right place and so I started to lose weight. I didn't want or need help from others I just had to want it enough for myself

Ooo dear hehe.Been there, done that, got several T-shirts - hence having had a weight problem for 15 years lol
Okie dokes, will do. I just love helping people is all.there are so many people (usually those without a weight problem) who are members of the 'ITS EASY,EAT LESS,MOVE MORE' brigade that we dont need our 'friends' chirping on about or weight aswell. i understand that you are well-meaning in your concern and offers of help for your friend...just as my own father was when he bullied me into doing sit ups whilst i was crying at the age of 13 then tried to reward me with half a milky-way...it wont work. wait until she asks for your help. good luck with your own weight loss journey though. happy new year x
Yes!! I get my harsh ways from her!Me too! Does it scare you as much as it scares me??!!! :8855:

...no one can help you lose weight except yourself.
....eats really late..
