General

Things have changed a bit over the years. When I was in high school, all my friends were pretty much average, with a few friends on the heavier side. Now that a few years have come and gone, I find that most of my friends have gained at least a few pounds, even the really skinny ones. I'd still say I'm the heaviest among my friends - probably always have been, but not by all that much anymore. It's comforting, both to know that many of my friends have put on weight, and to know that most of them don't seem to mind. Several seem to have *gasp* embraced it!

Most of my friends are smaller than me, even compared to when I was thin. Now I am almost certainly the biggest. But at 235 lbs I am not that big, so its a little surprising. I need to make more fat friends.

I am definitely the biggest amongst my friends. My best girl friend is super skinny and tall and i'm short and chubby, so together its a fun contrast.
