Transformation Complete It's happened, you guys. My former best friend has gone full Tumblrina. We met in college about 10 years ago. I was still a teenager, so I was young, somewhat immature, and had very different opinions about fats than I do now that I know better. My friend, we'll call her Connie, was in her mid 20's. She was kind of dumpy looking - definitely overweight, had worn-out clothes, and rarely ever wore make up. I thought she was nice and had a good sense of humour. We had all our classes together, and quickly became best friends. The teachers even knew that wherever one of us was, the other would be there too. We were inseparable. It was a 2 year program, and after graduation she moved to Barrie and I moved to Scarborough (Toronto) so we didn't actually see much of each other anymore. We kept in touch mostly through FaceBook, but then even that started to happen less often. One year (I can't remember which) Connie and her husband invited me and my husband (then fiance) to Barrie for New Years. At that point it had been at least 2 years since I'd seen Connie last. What greeted us at the door was not Connie - it was the bloated carcass of who Connie used to be. Like I said, she was always overweight for as long as I'd known her, but this was something else. She had packed on at least 100 pounds since the last time we were together. Connie and I fell out of touch after that. We still had each other on Facebook and would often talk about getting together, but it never happened. She would sometimes post updates about going on a diet, or photos of her in yoga gear, but it never looked like she was losing any weight. Then the body positivity shit started. I'd open up Facebook and get flooded with all those stupid memes we make fun of here on FPH. Not really sure why I didn't defriend her at that point... curiosity I guess. This morning I turn on my laptop and I was greeted by a photo of Connie with purple hair. It wasn't even a good dye job - it looked like she had drank a whole bottle of wine, barfed it back up, and then decided to shampoo her hair with it. And the photo looks like she is even more obese than when I saw her last. At this rate, she'll reach deathfat status in no time. I'm not lamenting the loss of a friendship because that happened years ago, but I am deeply disturbed by the fact that she's gone full Tumblrina. One you reach Tumblrina status, there's no turning back. TL;DR Former best friend from college degenerates into a full-on Tumblrina
