My Skinny Friend Who Doesn’t Get Fat

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

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!

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!

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?!?!?!

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!

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.
