Having anxiety about trip

indycello

Well I am about to go on a road trip with my former bestie and her fiancé who is best friends with my DH. She joined WW back in October and has lost like 50 lbs and is back to her college weight. I am soo incredibly anxious about seeing her tomorrow since August of last year! I know I have lost 20 lbs but I know I won't look as good as her. Not that I want to be in competition but in my mind she is out doing me in a sense. I think it's because of our falling out (she randomly decided she didn't want to spend time with me anymore..later figured out she was going off her anti-depressants at the time) I want to impress her. I want her to be my friend again... We had so much in common and still do.

I just don't want her to look at me and think I look bad after all this hard work I have been through!


Then again...why do I need her approval?

Well done on your 20lb!!! It's a brilliant achievement - be proud :happy: If she's been coming off anti-depressants that's got to be really hard, so if she's been a bit distant maybe she just needed some time alone?
From what you say (I might have it totally wrong - sorry if I am) it sounds like these worries are based on your insecurities rather than signals from her... If she's a good friend then you don't have to impress her! Especially not with your weight. She should (and I hope she does) love you for you, not your dress size. I know it can be a bit daunting when your friend suddenly looses a lot of weight or gets an amazing makeover but I'll bet she's worked really hard for it just like you, and maybe you can just see it as another thing you now have in common. You've done so well, and she has too - if you can support each other and be happy for each other it can only bring you closer.
Hope you enjoy your road trip :flowerforyou:
