I know my friend (like you) used to hear the same kinds of comments about being anorexic, etc. I definitely felt bad for her because she was at the opposite end of the spectrum.

I think people always have a need to find things about others that make them feel better about themselves - I agree with Cecily - no one asked them for an opinion of any kind though! For example, I used to be like the friend of yours you described. Everyone hated me when I was eating anything and everything I wanted and was stick thin.

I always say if we ever win the lottery {or if I can somehow pay off student loans miraculously fast}, I'm getting her too! *shaking head* I know I don't <i>need</i> it, but dreaming can be fun.

First, because I have hand/wrist issues, so I wasn't sure it would even work, and secondly because it terrified me to be in that position {I had visions of me just falling over for no apparent reason, or trying to stop somewhere and falling - I think my personal klutz factor came into play there though}.
