Yes! I posted about my own attempts to starve myself and it does not work. Train your body to increase your metabolism by... wait for it... eating more nutritious foods. You'll gain weight before you lose it. Try not to compare to your house mate. She'll get fat one day!

Hehe thanks for the support

Perhaps I was being a little dramatic... I'm definitely not starving myself... but oh how I wish I could eat that amount of food and not put on weight. I think I'm better to look at it from a health perspective... if one of us is going to get heart disease later in life, it probably won't be me!

That... was not support. It was more like an accessory to a crime.

Pretty much this.
Does it stink? Yup.
Is it unfair? Yup again, and its hard not to be a bit envious; that's just human nature but that's the hand you've been dealt.
Try not to wish her fat in spite though, that's just negativity that you have to carry around and while it may not seem to be much of a burden, it is.

Okay, I've tried to ignore it... but secretly, jealousy is taking over my weight loss journey. I've tried to blame it on metabolism and a range of other biological factors, but I'm just starting to get so annoyed I need to see if other people have experienced this.

My house mate has the worst diet I think I've ever encountered. Yesterday, I paid attention to what she ate. It was a pretty typical day. She had tuna pasta bake loaded with butter and cheese for breakfast, followed by nachos with the works, a bowl of cereal, a bag of pistachios, soft drink, more pasta and then went out to get KFC chips at about 3am. She weighs 55kg-ish and is the same height as me (163cm-ish).

I know i shouldn't care what others eat... but it's pretty annoying when I basically live off salad, low carb veg, tiny portions of poached lean protein and black coffee. I weigh EVERYTHING but I am and always will be, bigger than her... even though I'm not overweight anymore, I just have to work so much harder to stay a weight that I'm happy with. It makes me so jealous that I've actively fantasized about her getting fat one day. Bad, I know.

It kind of makes me want to throw in the towel altogether.

Anyone else experienced this?

Ummmmmm, I'm going to go with no. Envy? Sure. Wishing for something bad to happen to another person when they've not done anything wrong? Nope.

I have never wished for anyone that's thinner than me to be fat.

I have never wished anyone prettier than me to have acid poured on their face.

I have never wished for anyone faster than me to break a leg.

I have never wished for someone in a better financial situation to experience financial ruin.

I have never thought of myself as the nicest person but I guess I'm not as mean is I thought I was. Maybe I am mean but I'm up front about it.

Why do find it necessary to reduce her to her looks then justify this by adding an after-thought on her capacity to think like a normal, non-catty person?

How old are you? Sounds like college stuff. I promise that eat whatever you want doesn't last forever and she'll be in the weight loss boat with the rest of us.

Besides the fact that you should stop worrying about your housemate because her habits, her weight, etc have absolutely nothing to do with you...

Some of your comments about what you're eating and your exercise makes me wonder if maybe you may be over restricting? You said you aren't overweight, but even if you are trying to lose, it shouldn't be necessary to only eat salad, low carb veg, tiny portions of protein and black coffee... How many cals are you set at? Are you losing? Maintaining?
