A Letter from Your Fat Friend
Dear [Friend’s Name],
I hope this letter finds you well. I’ve been meaning to write to you for a while now, but I’ve been hesitant. I know that our friendship has been strained lately, and I want to address the elephant in the room. I’m writing to you today as your fat friend, and I want to share some thoughts and feelings that I’ve been bottling up.
First and foremost, I want you to know that I appreciate our friendship. You’ve been there for me through thick and thin, and I’m grateful for that. However, I’ve noticed that there’s been a lot of tension between us lately, and I think it all boils down to one thing: my weight. I know that it’s a sensitive topic, but I feel that it’s important for us to talk about it.
Let me be clear: I’m not writing this letter to ask for sympathy or to place blame on you. I understand that it’s uncomfortable for you to see me struggle with my weight, and I’m sorry for any pain or frustration that my situation may have caused you. But I also want you to know that I’m not defined by my size, and I’m not ashamed of who I am.
Over the years, I’ve tried countless diets and exercise routines, but nothing seems to stick. I’m not making excuses, but I want you to understand that losing weight is not as simple as willpower and discipline. I’ve sought help from professionals, and I’m currently in therapy to address the underlying issues that contribute to my weight. It’s a difficult journey, and I’m not sure where it will lead, but I’m committed to making positive changes in my life.
I also want to address the comments and judgments that I’ve received from others. It’s easy to get discouraged when people make hurtful remarks about my weight, but I refuse to let that define me. I believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and kindness, regardless of their size. And I hope that you, as my friend, can continue to show me that same respect.
As we continue to navigate this journey together, I want us to remember that our friendship is more important than any weight loss or gain. I value our connection, and I’m willing to work through any challenges that may arise. I hope that you can do the same.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I look forward to our continued friendship, and I hope that we can find a way to support each other as we navigate the complexities of life.
With love and gratitude,
[Your Name]
