You came here because you don't like the fact that you are fat. In many ways you are like a junkie entering drug rehab. Junkies often relapse and so do gluttons.
Junkies and gluttons are the same thing in many ways. Junkies are drug gluttons and gluttons are food junkies. Junkies hang out with junkies and gluttons hang out with gluttons. OINK! 
One of the problems I have with weight loss support groups is that all the people at them are gluttons. AA/Alcoholic Anonymous has a dismal success rate because it members are booze junkies and the God #%@&! doesn't help either.
You have to lose your glutton friends and family. They don't want you to change. They don't want to lose a pig out buddy. They will help you fail.
There are support groups for you fatties but they don't work all that well. You don't need no stinking support groups. (The really are stinking. A room full of fatties is often malodorous) You need to eat less and move more and shut up and stay on your diet.
OINK!

I'm starting to come around to this idea. Keeping to yourself for a while when you're dieting/exercising can be a good thing.
1.) You don't get sucked into debates. For a while I wanted to throw my unused cruton packs at whoever piped up with "BUT DR OZ SEZ..." (btw: that's not just a lowcarb thing- nothing like trans-fat-fried pieces of salted white bread to ruin a salad.)
2.) eating with nobody to talk to makes you realize just how boring food is.

It has to do with motive and motivation. Keeping it to oneself keeps it fresh in the mind.
Eating is a social situation but we have taken it way to far.

I laughed a little inside when I read the title to here. Because it reminded me of a diet help subject I found on the internet. And it is true. You really have to ditch those friends and it has worked for me.
I have this very skinny friend who is like a sister and so I spend a lot of time with her from time to time depending on our schedules and I would just pick up on her habits.
Till I got a boyfriend who is about as lazy as a sloth after work and eats like an ox. So I had picked up on his habits.
My boyfriend may not be fat but he is a bad example.
So yeah, everyone needs some skinny friends. They will subconsciously teach you good habits. And I am trying to just see her as much as I can. She always kept me busy along with her two year old son who has the mind of a squirrel.

| If you want to be lean watch what lean people do and do it. Also fat girls never want to be the fattest fat girl so they sabotage you.

This is totally true.
I especially realize that I have certain friends that trigger this- the friends who only ever want to go for dinner, or who encourage poor eating.

It's like hanging around with druggies or pot heads. A lot of people are these days are food centric. They have nothing else in their wasted lives.
Obesity is in large part a moral issue.
