Hello everyone. I have a friend who lives with me who is morbidly obese. I have always taken care of myself and she came to me asking for help because she couldn't do it herself. Things have been good and she is doing a great job eating better and working out. She lost 13 pounds in 3 weeks and have been able to keep up with the exercises and diet. I am very happy for her.
A few hours ago, she was talking to me about her feelings about how she has always hated her body. She grew up with a working mother and was always fed fast food at night. She really wants to make a positive change and I really want to help her. She saw this post about another lady who was as big as her who lost all her weight. She saw that there was a huge scar on the tummy and she mentioned that she might never like her body even if she worked out and lost all this weight. She said she might never be able to wear clothes she always wanted to wear if she had that scar.
Personally, I look at it as a scar that will remind her about how big of a positive change she has made in her life but I don't know how to express this. I have full faith in her that she will go through this time and be able to change her life for the better.
If anyone has made that change or is planning to, what can I say to make her feel better about this entire journey?
