Friends vs. Losing Weight

Have anyone of you felt that you need to choose between your friends and losing weight?

One of my best friends is overweight and doesn't seem to want to do anything about it. I, on the other hand, have begun making better food choices and workng out.

This weekend, my friend invited me out to eat and to the movies (where snacks are inevitable). Instead of the usual hamburger-type place, I suggested a better restaurant with healthier foods or instead of the movies, I suggested we go for a hike or a walk -- she declined me on both parts and ended up not doing anything together after all.

I'm not talking about becoming anti-social or anything like that, but in looking back at my friendship with this girl, I realized that alot of what we do (did) was about making food/alcohol choices.

This weekend got me thinking that, if I'm going to be successful in my weightloss, I have to surround myself with people who share the same value (like what I've found here on Peertrainer).

I'm afraid that unless she changes her lifestyle also, we may drift apart.
