in Health and Weight Loss
I was at the park today running and I happened to see my friend, Amy, who I've known half my life. Amy has always been critical of my weight (even though she is also overweight) and in the past has called me fatso and other various other names. Nice, huh? Well, I haven't seen her in a while and when she saw me running I stopped, said hello and then said "Hey, why don't you come run with me?" Of course she declined and said "Oh, I have to run some errands." But I KNOW she never works out and has NO intentions of losing weight or getting healthy. I just smiled and said goodbye and off I ran. Then I even lapped her during my next lap and it felt SOOOOOOOOOOO good! She's about 5 inches shorter than me and 40lbs lighter, but she's still overweight for her height. I just can't wait until I'm her weight! I will get the last laugh in the end!

It just me feel good to lap her while running! :laugh:
Sorry, just had to share!

    If she is critical of you, but doesn't want to do it for herself, that sounds to me like she's projecting her feelings for herself onto you. Congrats for recognizing her for who she is: a frenemy.

    I don't blame you ... I feel the same way about a co-worker who is now taking Adipex to lose weight but eating Domino's pizza 3 times a week. I guess we will see who is successful six months from now....

    I can't wait until you lap her twice----weighing 40 lbs less than her! You deserve to surround yourself by people who support you, good for you for blowing her off.

    Feels good to be a little bad once in a while, lol. There's a woman at the gym who is always telling me I need to tone more. The other day, within her hearing, I had 3 different people tell me how buff arms are. Then during the aerobic class she had to stop to catch her breath a couple times, I just kept kickin' it. And of course I was doing it for me but "evil" Jessica was saying inside: there you go b**ch, who needs to tone and work out more now???

    Sweetness!!

    Want to know my motivation? My ex's current gf called me a fat cow a few months ago. Since then, I saw a pic she was tagged in on facebook (you know, the ones you don't want online!). In this pic, her gut is HANGING over her jeans (I don't know why she thought tucking her skin tight shirt into her too small jeans would be a good idea). I keep that on my phone so when I don't want to work out, or I feel bad about myself, I'll pull that pic out and giggle till I about wet myself.

    Then suddenly I feel so much better :)
