I can see you need to talk :)

This is the harsh reality of standing by your beliefs, unfortunately. You are going to lose some friends and make some enemies along the way. Not every relationship you have is going to be around forever and this is the case regardless of anything. However, when it comes to fat hate considering the scale of the obesity epidemic, we are in a very special situation where it is extremely common to lose friends and extremely hard to find them, especially ones that stick. I think the main perspective to take is that you cannot control the actions of others, and if they are going to let themselves slide into a miserable, fat existence, then that is their choice and there is nothing you can do about it. To keep these people around only serves to keep around someone who is the opposition of everything you want in your life and that is unhelpful at best and actively detrimental at worst. I hate the term for the SJW associations, but fat people are "toxic" people and will drag you down, or will at least try to. You can only focus on making new friends and hope that they fill the gap you need in a permanent way.

You're right, thank you. And thanks for being a sympathetic ear (or pair of eyes, seeing as how this is the internet and all).

I just got back from the gym. I'm going to work this evening, gonna go to running club tomorrow morning and then work again in the evening, and then I'm going to have a glorious, long sleep sunday night and it will be beautiful :D
