LOL, IKWYM. Shame about your friend... sounds like there could be something deeper going on with her other than just hunger. I can relate cause this was my yo-yo for a loooong time, till I finally became happy with the way I looked at my 25kg overweight state... it wasn't until I was happy with myself and stopped the self-loathing that I could actually lose weight, I am motivated to lose cause I really really really want to be a size 10, but I don't hate myself anymore for NOT being a size 10. It's ironic that self-acceptance has enabled me to change myself, but that shift has made all the difference
