My best friend was told by her doctor and her specialist that she had to lo-carb if she wanted to lose weight, balance her body to get pregnant. She also has chronic back pain and has had spinal surgery threatened on her if she doesn't lose weight and stop eating so poorly.

I want to slap her so hard.

She won't do it. Her reasoning? It will take me too long to lose and I want a baby asap/No diet ever works/Women who are more overwieght and with similar health problems have babies all the time.

I really wish she just realised there are no fast answers to anything in life, and a child is too much of a precicios commodity to risk by being stubborn/lazy.
