Friend indeed ;-)

Sally had been a heavy smoker since she was a teenager, but to her
surprise was able to quit "cold turkey." However, her weight shot up
and she felt very self-conscious. When a friend, Jenny, congratulated
her on giving up cigarettes, Sally exclaimed, "But look at all these
added pounds!"
Jenny's reply was one Sally will always treasure. "Oh, my dear, don't
worry about that!" she said. "Just think of all the extra years you
will have in which to lose them."

I can identify with Sally, can't you?
Cheers
