A friend of hers who was a few pounds heavier got her stomach banded. Shigette lost 70 lbs. Her friend went from a 22 to a 6 because she kept throwing up because the surgery wasn't perfect. They had to go in twice more. I tell Shigette, who in the presence of this friend feels awful because she's now a stick and Shigette is not, that this friend took the easy way out and everyone knows it, and because Shigette works out hard at the gym and has taken off this weight naturally that she has earned a lot more respect than just being a twig would have allowed her. G'luck with the diet. I'll respect you. :) Shigette used to buy plus-sizes. A friend of hers who was a few pounds heavier got her stomach banded. Shigette lost 70 lbs.

I feel for you. My siblings always tease me about my weight. I'm not that big, just bigger than them... My brother's a gym rat and my sis is a tiny, malnurished vegan. Me, I'm closer to normal-sized, but I look pretty damn fat standing next to them. *Sigh* “Because it’s no fun being the butt of everyone’s jokes.”
