Whooooooa That is trippy. But I'm the only fat one from my friends. SHouldn't they be making me skinny??????

I think it's interesting and that there's some truth to it.

Great point although I think the real blame should be on yourself. It's your mouth and it's your hand reaching for the pizza and food; your friend isn't prying your mouth open and cramming it down your throat. If your friend gets the junk food, they can eat have it; Your the one making the decision to eat it. I might take a bit out of the food however I won't eat more just because they reach for another piece of pizza. I can see where the "blame the friends" theory can work however I feel like we are all resposible for what we eat.

my friends definitely urge me to eat more than i feel comfortable eating. they don't seem to listen to their hunger or fullness. they don't make healthy choices very often. if i wasn't educated on proper nutrition and i didn't have a strong willpower, i would probably weigh more than i do.

I dont have nay friends so does that mean I cease to exist now?

my friends don't make me fat. I was the one overeating.

leeluvfashion is right.

Well I actually had a little debate about this...

when I'm by myself I'm EXTREMELY healthy--no junk food and tons of exercise--but when I'm with my friends, I tend to let things slip. Weirdly enough they eat unhealthy all the time and when I'm around them I almost buy into their lifestyle even though it really has no appeal to me.

I don't think it's their fault--granted I believe it's the opposite, it's entirely on me--but it's strange to see how eating behaviors can influence others.

Lol. when me and my friends meet up, we usually pig-out in some restaurant and then hangout in a coffe shop. Talk about packing calories for hibernation.

Too funny ...and true.

i'd say neither really, most of my friends aren't like, fat, we all just kinda eat when we're hungry
