Boney BFF

October 14, 2008

This is going to sound so silly, but my BFF is so skinny that she makes me feel fat even though I am just normal. Actually, I am on the small side, but she is really really skinny with super long arms and legs which make her look even thinner. She eats normally, and I am not worried that she has a problem, but she has a way of making me feel huge just because you can´t count all my ribs! Should I say something? ~Vivienne

I have a friend that's just like that but we just make jokes about it! It's not that I'm fat or anything. but your friend might feel bad that she's soo skinny. - Good Luck

OMgosh. I have a couple of friends like that too! Just like what other said, I just have to realize that I am not fat, but not skinny! I am average, and GOD made me like this for a reason. (whether I know why or not {lol} ) One of my best friends is D****, she is very skinny, sometimes I wish I had her figure but I just have to realize I have qualities that maybe she doesn't have. Like she is short and I am tall. The other girl is S**** she is skinny too, but again I gotta think of my qualities and focus on those. aDvIcE~~~~~ compliment her. but don't feel bad about wHaT you lOOk liKe! trust me, it ain't worth it. ~~blair~~

Listen, I have a friend just like that so I know x-actly how you feel. What I do is I think of myself as who I am not who I want to be don't compare yourself to other girls because it only hurts you more.

I would feel great that you're not THAT skinny!! It's okay to be skinny, but not so skinny that you can count your ribs!! Feeling good about yourself is the best medicine!!

Dear Vivienne, I also have a friend that is really skinny and I sometimes feel fat but I am not fat.I told her that she is really skinny and then asked her if she had a problem and she said "No I just don't eat a lot"

You should tell her how you feel and hopefully she will get the message and stop making you feel bad. If not it's time to reconsider who your BFFs are...?

don't tell her. If you feel that way think of it from her point of view. She proboly thinks that she is really thin compared to you. She might think that your just right and she is a twig.
