A friend cheers you on whether you've lost an ounce, a pound, or your
patience.
A friend encourages you to eat healthier and doesn't lie when telling you that you've made a good (or not so good) food choice when you go out to eat. With them.
A friend notices a new haircut, weight loss, and when you've taken the time to put on makeup. Without you having to mention it.
A friend will tell you... the jeans are NOT the problem. And then blame your GENES instead.
A friend will pick you up when you're down, kick you in the seat of your pants when you need it. And NOT put up with your whining because they know whining leads to excuses which lead to failure.
A friend will look at your diary and not judge you. Or your choices. Because they know if you logged that you ate an arbitrary snack, you're either okay with it (in which case you don't need to hear that you shouldn't have eaten it) OR because you're not OK with it and you are already struggling.
A friend will watch a bad movie with you even if they know that means you'll be providing your own entertaining commentary. And throwing popcorn.
A friend will keep you from going out in the outfit you thought made you look beautiful but really looks like a circus tent. Or puts you in jeopardy of being someone's next call to What Not To Wear.
A friend will NOT call What Not To Wear on you. Ever.
As long as you're acting and living healthy, a friend won't tell you whether you should lose weight or not... they'll just support you either way.
A friend will agree with you when you say your spouse is an angel on earth or the devil's spawn. Sometimes in the same sentence.
A friend will agree with you when you say your children are either too smart or not smart enough to be yours. And then blame your spouse. :0)
A friend will NOT buy you treats they know you have a hard time eating just one of. Or they will only buy one. Or they will buy more than one but only give you one at a time.
A friend will laugh at your jokes. No matter how bad they are or how many times you've told them. Today.
A friend will promise to challenge you to wheelchair races in the nursing home.
A friend will be there when you have surgery, are sick, have company coming, or are overwhelmed. And they will forget how messy the problem was they helped fix... because they love you enough to never hold it over your head.
A friend will push you to do more than you thought you could.
I'm so happy you are my friend and I am yours. I welcome new friends all the time! This isn't the Titanic, folks... there are lifeboats for all!
