How I Made My Friend 'Cry'
Not in the sense that people might think, so hear me out.
My friend and I have always been really close. My friend had always been “the big one in the girl-group”.
Her number on the scale started with 2 and she is around 5’4 tall.
Well, she wanted to do something about this, and has been eating healthy and walking 5 miles a day as a start for about 3 weeks.
I heard this for the first time when I was visiting her for the first time in around two months.
She was a little sad when she started talking about it, and said “yeah, and I know I am a failure because I have only shed 2 pounds in the 3 weeks eating healthy and walking….”
I was like "That’s god damn amazing, way to go! That's an awesome start!”
Her reaction was to look at me completely stunned for a sec and then just crying so hard. I was shocked and before I could say anything.
Then, she blurted "No friends has been other than dismissive of my effort, and even my mom laughed at me and sabotage my confidence"...
"you’re the first to say anything positive"...
I said: "Honey, I will always be with you unless you give up on yourself..."
