XP: Do you still fat compared to your friends?: PIC of me and my two best high School friends

These are pics of me back in December with my two best friends from high school in Atlanta....actually they are my best friends since second grade,  yep we go way way back, we meet up every few months, but this is the first pic we took together in a long time and they have NEVER had weight problems, the one in the beige jacket has always been a size 6-8 for years since high school and through college and since she had kids.....and my very best friend the one in the black and white jacket has been about a size 8-10 since high school....well I was small in my 20s and early 30s and gained 100 pounds after my second marriage and yo-yo for years...and of course my very petite niece Pamela who is in the pink sweater....who is 2 years older than me....well I have older brothers and sisters that is older enough to be my parent...LOL... and she has never been bigger than a size 6 she is short also and I wonder why me and my older sister are the only ones to struggle with our weight...

Why do I look so fat in these pics? Although I have lost 10 pounds since this pics I really hate that I am still fatter than my friends that have not had weight loss surgery!!! UGH....when will I be a solid size 10....I keep yo-yoing back and forth....I just though Id share my rant...but pics of my best friends and niece....

We are graduates of the class of 1980 -- ...so you do the math...whew..I am getting old

To answer your question no, I'm pretty much the smallest of my family and friends now. But I do look a little different because of where my fat was which may be the case for you as well. Also you lost 10 lbs since then so maybe the 10 lbs was all teh difference. I don't really see THAT much of a difference between you and the other ladies if that helps.

Thank you Rolonda!! Well you should feel great you are very thin now!! And you look great!!! I guess when I looked at the pics I was like *yikes*...why do I look so freaking fat..I think I am gonna blame it on the colors

Why would you even compare yourself to folks that have been small all of their lives? That is crazy to me. 

And trust when I tell you when you do get to a solid 10  you will want to be smaller!  I don't think we ever get satisfied with our size

Hey Ro...you are right, I should not compare myself to others..I will just blame this on the stripes...that made my tummy look like I had extra rolls...I am so upset I missed seeing you and Kim and a few others...why oh why did I get sick? ..it was best I stayed away with a virus, I would not have wished my 2 nights of hell on my worst enemy....

I am still upset I did no meet you....we could have turned that club OUT....

If you meant to say P.H.A.T then yes.......You look beautiful!

Hey gorgeous...thanks for the love...

I think you all look great  !!!

I am in the HS class of   '76      LOL   

Oh thanks Phyll!!,...wow we are not far from each other!! time is going by so fast these days...

Well, take solace, cuz they all look old and you look about 28. I see what you talking about tho. I think its the shirt. The top half of my abdomen is flat, but when I wear a girdle, it often looks like i have a roll there. So depending on what I'm wearing, I'll skip the girdle.
