Why are you getting downvoted? You are absolutely correct. You should be friends with the type of person you want to be, or if you've already reached what you want, then people who are like you. The reason is because your friends' habits tend to rub off on you, good and bad. And whatever a fat person might be good at, there's always a thin person who is just as good if not better. That said, it's ok to be friends with someone who isn't as good as yourself if they show drive and a willingness to better themselves. On topic of this sub, a smallfat you meet at the gym. In my experience 99% of obese butter golems are a complete waste and I don't even like talking to them let alone becoming friends.
