Well said Butterfly girl 
Back in the old days, my friends used to tease girls who were overweight, I remember one gal said that when she got on the bus, and then a few streets down the road, the bus stopped to pick up more people, once this lady got on the bus, she sat next to this gal, she had explain to us how horrible she felt when this lady's hips were way over the seat and she could feel all the fats laying on her skinning legs, etc....At first I couldn't believe I was actually hearing this, I mean this gal never been overweight in her entire life yet its easy for her to say all those mean things about this lady, when she has no clue what its like to be in that lady's position.....That's not the kind of friends I would rather to hang out with, no one should judge others for their looks or for being overweight, its just a big turn off for me....
I rather to stick with friends who accept all sizes, colors, race etc.....That's a true friend you can count on for a lifetime because when it happen to you, then you know that you have nothing to worry about because a true friend like that will stay with you for a lifetime, no matter what happens....
