My friend thinks she's really fat??

Question

she is one of my bestest friends. She has always been bigger so this summer she asked me to help her loose weight by exercising with her every day and i did and she lost 20 pounds! went from being 150 to 130. She looks great and i keep telling her that like all the time but she doesn't believe me she still thinks she is a ''fat cow' and no guy will ever like her. I think she is soo pretty in a non- L*****n way she has nice curves too .

Answer 1

Show her random people on the street who are around her size.  Thats what my mom always did whenever I would say that.  It always helped.  Hopefully she wasn't lying, hehe!

Answer 2

She's still fat when she looks in the mirror.  She'll be like this for a while.

Slowly, she'll start to see what she really looks like.

Keep exercising with her so she doesn't gain the weight back!!!

Answer 3

But...We need a picture.

Or maybe 2 - of before and after.It will be hard to determine.

Answer 4

I always see hot guys with curvy girls.

She'll come to terms with herself as she gets older. I used to really hate my body, and now I'm a bit more okay with it than I used to be.  Give her time - just keep encouraging her - she lost 20 freaking pounds!!!

What my friends do for me is point out people they know who weigh more than me, despite being the same height as me or shorter.  They always look very thin and it makes me feel better about myself.  Or they compare my build to someone else's, and it helps.  You could try that.  See, when friends say they're fat, they're not looking to be told they look healthy or fine.  They want to be called "skinny" or for you to take that extra step to make them feel better, like what my friends do.  

Good luck. :D I have a friend about that size and she's cute.  She's even got a boyfriend!

Answer 5

130 is a little bit higher than normal weight for 5'2", but she might just be built differently. She is fine, though, so just tell her that she is perfect.

:)

Answer 6

My dear, you probably still see yourself the other way before you lost the 20 pounds. Stop and listen to your friend. She sounds like a very true friend that will tell you like it is. So listen to her when she says your look great because she's not lying. Enjoy the new you and keep your friend close to your heart.

Answer 7

Show her a picture of Sara Ramirez. Absolutely gorgeous curvey Lady who is more than likely bigger than her.
