Friends Can Fight Fat Together

The two women, Lori and Tara, made a face while watching the skinny woman on television. She explained for the tenth time how to lose tummy fat. They reached for the pretzels (chocolate covered) as they decided to start a new diet on Monday.

Here it was only Wednesday and the exercises they had started on last Monday were given up. The good start had found them jogging in the park together early in the morning. Then they went for a long walk after work. Stopping in at Ruba’s house, they were invited to take a swim. Afterwards, they had iced tea before they left.

On the way home, Lori and Tara remarked on how thin Ruba looked in her bikini. Compared to them, she was almost skinny. This was the way they always classified others. They were either skinny, which was a good thing, or fat, which they thought they were. They were always trying to figure out how to reduce tummy fat. Somehow though, they always gave up after a day or two.

Lori spent most of her time at work sitting at a desk. She did visit offices of new clients occasionally. However, there was so much work to do on the computer that it kept her chained to the desk. She had heard that people who didn’t get enough sleep were more susceptible to weight gain. She had recently joined an exercise class and it did seem to help her feel better.

Tara worked for a health care facility and had to present a healthy appearance. If she was overweight it would reflect poorly on the job. She did exercise regularly and walked her dog around the block every night. This was fun for her anyways.

The next morning, getting ready for work, Tara looked at her profile in the mirror. Although she understood how to lose weight successfully, she was having a hard time doing it. Her skirt waistbands and slacks waistbands were always a little too tight. These worries continued as she seated herself at her workstation desk at the office.

She decided right then. Tomorrow she would start using that exercise video that was collecting dust on the game system. She’d do some sit ups and lift five pound weights like she used to. Maybe Lori would come over and exercise with her on weekends. She smiled to herself as she contemplated them both being successful on an exercise regimen.
