Parted ways with another fat friend

August 10, 2005

Hey everyone, especially you posties:

Have you had anything like this happen?

A now former friend (he is boardering on being morbidly obese)and I

had another disagreement, and I've decided that this is just the last

straw.

After this little disagreement, I was sitting here mulling it over.

He said that the last year has been all about me, and that I haven't

given anything back to him. Oh boo hoo! That is such needy crap,

and I just don't agree.

And it just hit me. Bill was my last fat friend. All of my fat

friends have turned their backs on me in some sort of jealous fit,

and I now live among the normal-weighted. What the hell was I

supposed to give back? I think what he really wanted was for me to

FAIL, like he's failed over and over again. He originally wanted me

to be his food police (I refused), and he wanted me to be his workout

buddy, but he didn't want to get up at 5:00 AM to work out. And

quite frankly, I didn't have the energy to " carry " someone else when

I really have to make an effort all on my own. I figure, if he

wanted to exercise, he'd stop making excuses and just do it. I did!

Hmmm... it's not that I don't get along with fat people (I mean,

part of me in my mind is still morbidly obese), and I appreciate all

of you here regardless of your size, but what I won't do is fail.

And I won't put up with sabotage crap from friends (or former

friends) who really hate that I've gone from the fat team to the non-

fat team.

OK, I'm done ranting. Does this make sense to anyone?

Francisco

steadfastly refusing to fail
