If friends told me I looked fat instead of just hearing it from the bullies in middle and high school, I probably would have thought about it more seriously than if people always told me "no, you're not fat, you carry your weight well," and estimated my weight at 50 pounds under what it is. I'm 70 pounds overweight now and have to work hard to lose weight soon because my blood sugar is tending to get too high and i don't want to end up diabetic.
