We all have them right?
Well, tonight my skinny friend who doesn’t get fat and I went out to TGI Friday’s for dinner because I had a buy one entree get one free coupon (get yours here!). We arrived to the restaurant and the whole time I’m trying to convince myself not to eat bad.
In my head: “Julie, don’t get poorly! You’ll regret it later because you still have to run tonight.”
Then, I have my skinny friend who doesn’t get fat saying, “Ohhh food! I’m SOOO HUNGRY! I’m so hungry that we can’t wait for our dinner. We need appetizers. How about some fried green beans?”
In my head: “Julie, you don’t need an appetizer! Just wait for the entree!”
Skinny friend who doesn’t get fat: “Okay, fried green beans it is!”
Later in the dinner…
Skinny friend who doesn’t get fat: *points to dessert menu* “Ohhhhhh look at those desserts! I want this one, this one or this one… which do you want?”
In my head: “You do NOT NEED DESSERT. You are full! Your brain is telling you that you’re full!”
Skinny friend who doesn’t get fat: Brownie ice cream it is!
I love my skinny friend who doesn’t get fat but I ate so much tonight. I wish I had more self-control. I still have to run tonight and I plan to around 10. Ugh – it’s gonna be hard!
xoxo,
Julie

haha! i used to be that girl….
then age caught up with me.
That’s how Big Man and my sister are…with their freakishly fast metabolisms…ugh!
LOL!!! Well, I guess there are some who would label me that way… of course, NOW, I can’t get food to leave the heck alone!!!!! Let me tell ya, there really is an ironic curse to all the food you end up eating when you’re pregnant. If you’re anything like me, you’ll end up resenting food and being tempted to starve yourself out of spite!
My skinny friend who doesn’t get fat is my bff from college. She is like 5’8″, bleach blond and like 100 pounds. So jealous
I secretly like that she eats whatever though because then I don’t feel bad when I’m eating tons. Better than salad friend!
Ugh. I have a skinny friend who doesn’t get fat. Like, really really skinny. She drives me crazy.
Hahaha… I have two of these friends, I try to avoid going out with both of them at the same time!
Oh, we all definitely have that girl in our loves, God love’em! There’s also my personal favorite: The Friend Who Can Drink a Frat Boy Under the Table and Yet has Six-Pack Abs….I have one cocktail and I pop an instant belly!
ha – I was once that girl, as well. But NOT anymore!! Hope it was yummy and worth it
my mom is that girl!im so jealous shes like 5’7 maaaaybe 110!? wish i had those genes
definitely go for the dinner. and the brownie. i’m totally a 6’0” dessert girl. oh well. just rock it!!
Ugh, I wish that I could be a skinny friend who doesn’t get fat!!!!
I definitely have a best friend like that..and a husband!! Sheesh!
I have so lived that same situation. LOL
Thanks for the coupon tip. I have printed mine out and hope to go on a date with dh soon.
Everyone has that friend! I have been there, done that!
I’m in a tough place – I used to be that girl, and I’m just starting to realize it’s not quite working anymore. My appetite has not slowed down with my metabolism!
anyone that can eat like that is a pure freak! I watch a guy at work eat milk dudes for breakfast while I drink a slim fast… he orders chinese for lunch and i eat celery… seems fair right!!
ugh!! skinny people!
I’ve got more than a few of those in my life – ugh. My sister is also one of those people. I, on the other hand, will ALWAYS have to be so aware of what I’m putting in my mouth because it’s going to show up in like…20 minutes on my ass.
We have a girl at work who is constantly saying, “I might be skinny but I’m flabby.” What?!?!?!
Thanks for the laugh. It is so unfair. I’ve been there!!!
mmmm Now I really want some fried green beans……
I want to be that girl!! It’s not fair!!
Awww! Haha, it’s worth it once in awhile and you are gorgeous, so it doesn’t matter!
i love all my “skinny friends that don’t get fat” they all eat more than me, drink more than me, and work-out… never! i so feel your pain, but i have little to no self control- you did great!
I am the saaaaaaaame way! It is hard to control yourself when you’re in the presence of a SFWDGF.
Sometimes life is just not fair!
I’ve definitely been in this situation before and typically give in to the delicious appetizer and dessert menu.
I’ve had this experience too many times. Then last night I spoke with a friend that I haven’t seen in years only to find out about how much weight she has lost. Oh well, I’m going to keep trying…
Love the post, very funny!
Goddamn fried green beans… love them.
I AM SKINNY AS A BOY, WHO CAN TELL ME THE BEST WAY TO BE MUSCULAR OR HOW CAN I DRESS COOLER AS A SKINNY BOY!!! PLEASE, AS DETAILS AS POSSIBLE.
BY THE WAY, IM 16.
Huang, you need to eat lots and lots of clean protein like egg whites and chicken breast. Find a good gym and start shredding your muscles like there’s no tomorrow. The web is full of great workout plans for beginners. Good luck.
