Hey Gym Coach, 

I totally understand where all that is coming from. I get mad at my friend because she always talks about how she's so overweight. We work out together from time to time and she can always push more than me and wants to go further than me and I get so frustrated at her. I'm like, okay, you are 115 and I'm 190 and you think you're fat, well what does that make me? But really, it finally just hit me one day and that's why I started really actually eating better and working out, this time. I don't want to be 115lbs, I would look very bad, just too skinny. But I look at old pictures of myself and remember back then thinking I looked so fat, but now I think, wow I looked so good back then. That's what hit me so hard. I have gained weight just from my food rants and candy binges. That might not be your problem but I just understand that my friend has gained weight from high school and I understand why she feels bad about herself. Everyone is different. The other day I saw a girl from high school and she was always super skinny, not like the cheerleader or anything but just really skinny and hyper. She had gained a lot of weight in her thighs and butt, which I loved! I know that sounds so bad but I just thought, wow it happens to everyone. Just like my mom, she has always been this little petit skinny lady and now that she's getting older she has gained weight in her stomach. She always complains about it, but now I think, yeah now you know what it's like to not be perfectly skinny and worrying about what you look like. 

Anyway, my entire point is that I totally understand what you're saying. But you have to remember that everyone has their own demons, but more importantly everyone is like you. We are all battling our flesh. Whether it's to stay healthy or lose weight, we are all alike. No matter how much weight. No matter how many minutes of exercise. It's funny how everyone thinks that they are so unique and so different from everyone else. Just like you think that you are different from the 112 pounder on here, you aren't, she's trying to find relief just as you are. And shame on her to think she's any different than you. I applaud you and encourage you to continue on in this fight. It's a fight for a better life.
