Why do progress photos or other photos of people in a category I share make me feel like absolute garbage? I reach out and can congratulate those who have worked really, really hard to get where they are, but at the end of the day, looking at them always, always makes me feel like trash.
It's something I've struggled with all my life, even when I weighed substantially less. I'm not petty and I won't talk down or say negative things about someone else or how they appear (because I know too well what that feels like), but I hate that it makes me feel this way. And no amount of therapy has seemed to help with it, either. I just feel so... other.
Does that make sense?9 -

You explain it very well. I feel this way too, although less so the older I get. Girls seem to be hardwired at a fairly young age to compare themselves to each other. I distinctly remember a time in 3rd grade that I put my schoolbag over my legs because I was embarrassed of the way my legs jiggled when the bus was moving. What is an 8 year old doing worrying about jiggly thighs?!5 -

I understand.
And you are not alone.
We need to bolster our own self-image and that's so much easier said than done.3 -

All good things come to an end.
It’s unfortunate, I was enjoying myself.

Would love to hear your higher view of death.
It's something I'm struggling with lately, having just turned 68, watching my 88 yo neighbor wither away, worrying about my 77 yo sister and finding out I lost a dear former friend. Makes my life feel so daMn inconsequential.
But hey, maybe all I need is a good party.
Trying to keep the faith. 8 -

My seats for the concert sucked compared to seeing them 2 years ago. But it was great being there at the United Center last night. I honestly didn’t think we’d get to a point of having an almost normal concert on this scale again. What a great night.

Seating doesn't look too bad to me.. Glad you had a great time.. 😃1 -
