every girl needs a fat friend?

I recently read an article somewhere (can't remember where) that said that said a couple of interesting things:

• The author mentioned that any slim woman will look much beautiful when she is next to a fat friend.
• Therefore, when woman needs a confidence boost, she goes out with fat friend. One example will be celebrities themselves. Instead of hanging out with other celebrity friends are gorgeous, they always go out with other normal fat friends.
• Some women prefer to go shopping with fat friends. They feel better when they buy size 10 while their fat friends are struggling with a 16.
• Furthermore, clubbing together with fat friend will make sure the pretty girls have no competition in picking up guys. All the eyes will be on you and you can always have a peace of mind that someone is watching your drink and handbag.

I'm wondering...is this true? Is that what women think and feel about their overweight friends? Yeah, I hope not. 

slow and steady wins the race, right?

Well this is beyond slow and steady...but alas, I'm headed in the right direction

Starting weight: 256 lbs
