Jealousy

Just focus on you! yes your attitude and emotional state can effect weightloss, you lose faith and hope and therefore determination! Be happy for your fitness buddy and be happy with yourself!

It's human nature but you just have to focus on you. Yes you started the journey together but it happens differently for everyone.

Don't be derailed by her successes, use it to motivate you - you'll get there.

I don't think I'd call it jealousy but sometimes I get down when I see these people who post about losing 20 pounds in 2 months (or whatever) and I've lost 8 since July. I just have to remind myself that everyone is different and they may have started at a different point or may have had a lot more to lose than I did.

I have to keep telling myself to be patient and keep at it. I will get there someday, just maybe not as fast.

If your friend isn't being supportive, you should say something to her. She may not realize what she's doing or how much it bothers you.

Maybe she's just very excited. It doesn't sound like she's trying to rub it in your face. I know when I'm on a roll, posting and sharing keeps me motivated. I think maybe you're reading to much into it. Be proud that YOU are making progress. I know sometimes it can be frustrating when its happening slowly, but something is better than nothing.

I keep thinking it in my head, all she is doing is posting her progress here on MFP and on FB and when ever we talk its always about what she ate and what she did for exercise.

My business partner and I have both lost a bunch of weight, but he started (and finished) before I did. Now we are both in maintenance, but he's slowly gaining and I'm still slowly losing. People where we work comment constantly on the amount both of us have lost, but he's so upset that he's gaining (a total of 4 lbs after losing 55) that it seems to be making him mad at me because I'm not. I've tried telling him that we are not competing and that he's lost more than I have, but he's still upset. I have a hard time not talking to him about food and workouts, tho, because that's what he talks about all the time.

Tell your friend how you feel if what she is doing or saying is hurting your feelings that much. Maybe she isn't doing it on purpose. Or maybe she is but doesn't realize how much it's hurting your feelings. Or maybe she's a jerk and you should put some distance between you. Regardless, you don't need to let it upset you as that might actually cause you to lose less. Stress is a killer in more ways than one.

I'm jealous a lot, it's why I don't accept friend requests. It pissed me off to see my friends dropping consistently while I'm boinging around the same 3#. I ended up clearing my friend list. I kinda feel bad for doing it, but it drove me batty.

my fitness buddy is my daughter so i.m always happy when she has a good week and looses a few pounds we keep each other motivated we share ideas and advice swop meal ideas and such like i couldnt have got this far with out her wouldnt have found this wonderfull MFP if she hadnt of looked for something i could record my food on and read so many wonderfull articals we are all in need of surport even them that loose weight faster
