"Overweight friend"

Someone referred to me as their "overweight friend" today. They were talking about their body changing after having a baby, and said that none of their other friends would understand as they're all "skinny". They then went on to say that they only have 2 overweight friends, me being one of them. They're not unkind or anything, just a little matter of fact and I'm not cross at them, I was just a little taken aback hearing someone say it out loud!

I know I'm overweight. Have always been on the rounder side (big boobs and thighs), but was always a comfortable size 12 but very short. However, since having my DD a year ago, I've put on 2 stone. For some reason I can't seem to find the motivation to lose it! I've wanted a breast reduction for a while, but there's no chance while I'm this big. I'm so unhappy with my body, and it's gets me down everyday but I don't know why I just keep eating!

Please someone, help me find the motivation/strategy!!!!

Well I'd lose the "friend" for starters! Come join the LOSE IT thread for august. You'd be most welcome and find it supportive and balanced.

Definitely look at weight loss and not breast reduction.
It sounds like she called a spade a spade, there is no surprise you already know you're overweight. I suppose it stings to hear but it's the truth.
