It's quite possible she meant no offense at all. There is a cultural aspect (she's Persian, and some Persians I have met are similar to my own culture - Italian - in that they discuss others' weight openly) and she went on to say how she thinks it looks so nice to have the curves, that she has been trying to gain weight but can't no matter how much she eats.

However, I am still plenty curvy five pounds lighter than this, and I feel better, so I'm stickin' to my plan.

I am very proud of myself today, for taking my son and his friend out for ice cream (we walked) and I didn't get any for myself, just watched them eat theirs and then had some watermelon when I got home. This is quite an accomplishment for me, as ice cream is my downfall!
