Thanks girls. I guess I am mainly jealous that she only had 50 lbs to lose total and I have a lot more than that lol. That of course is only my fault but still it is hard to not wish I didn't have any more to lose!

I think envious is "I want that" and jealous is "I want that, therefore, I don't like you."

I'm totally envious of people's weight loss successes. I remember hearing everyone raving about this girl I hadn't even met losing 40 lbs and I instantly felt envious... I hadn't even met her! But *I* wanted to be that person!

I get jealous/envious of other things too. I've made a habit to note whenever I am envious and figure out how I, too, can achieve that goal. If it's not a goal I want to achieve, why be jealous? If it is, well, I better start working towards it!

It is a natural feeling, but try and push through it and ask her to hang out so you get over it. I've been on the other end of those feelings, too, where a friend of mine saw me losing weight and made a comment about "next time we get together, don't be skinnier than me!"We were both close to 300 pounds at one point and she was always "dieting." She'd call and say "let's do lunch, but I hope you haven't lost 50 pounds or something!" Next time I saw her (months later) I was definitely skinnier than her. I did not flaunt it or mention it or anything but she scowled and then tried to smile, and when we parted she said, "Next time I hope you're not a stick." And I've never heard from her again... in months.

I think I'll call and ask her to get together. I miss her.
