I've been a grouch lately and I know I really need to get over this but I can't seem to at the moment. The vast majority of my friends are pretty skinny. Really, I only have two friends that are close to my weight that live nearby, one has PCOS and works out all the time but has to basically eat nothing to lose weight. The other is TTC and just holding off on the weight loss for the moment. The rest are pretty much VERY skinny AND they don't work for it at all. One does run but the rest never exercise...EVER.
I have to admit this drives me nuts. I'm someone who has to fight for every pound. Back when I was skinny I worked out like crazy. I played college soccer and did 3 days a week weight training on top of that. Sure I ate more junk food
but I exercised like crazy. Now, nobody forced me to eat pizza during my pregnancy, so it's not that I'm blaming my weight on someone else. But it's so discouraging when I run miles per week to lose any weight when other friends of mine are just so skinny after having kids and they don't workout at all!
I just hate how easy for me it is to gain weight. I'm doing so much better and I really am proud of myself with the lifestyle changes I've made but it's also hard when your skinny friends are "so impressed" that you find time to workout and say they never can do that.
Sorry for the complaining, I know I just need to get over it and everyone has their own personal struggles etc. etc. but I'm just frustrated at the moment.
