I read an interesting article in Parade Magazine today. It was called Surprising News About weight Loss. #1 People with fat friends tend to pack on pounds. Two out of three of my closest friends are MO. I never really thought about it until now. I did realize when I go places with them I am much more comfortable than when I go places with people who aren't MO. I thought it was just because we are good friends, now I'm wondering if its not the bit about safety in numbers. Luckily my friend I eat lunch with every Friday is not MO. I also realized I don't eat nearly as much with her as I do with my MO friends, I don't want to look like a pig.
My closest friend is on Byetta for diabetes and so far has lost 30 pounds on it so we are both on the losing track now. Luckily she is now smaller than me so when I go visit her in 3 weeks I will get her smaller size clothes, and I will pass my clothes onto my other MO friend.
It really is an excellent article and if you don't get the Sunday paper you can read it on line at www.parade.com.
Just food for thought on this Easter Sunday. enjoy the day.
