So, I admit that sometimes I'm not awesome. For example, after I started my weight loss journey, a coworker decided that she wants to do the same. The thing is, she eats whatever she wants, she does exercise maybe once a week, and she just expects it to happen because she wants it to. The worst part is, she's actually lost some weight! Well, I am working my butt off (literally) and it bugs me when people can do things half-assed and still end up doing better than me. SO - point of my story, this week she didn't lose anything and while I was supportive on the outside, my insides were cheering.
No! You are fine. I completely understand how you feel and think it is natural to have those feelings. I know I would, you are not alone and NOT a bad person.
Just think, when you lose all the weight, you are going to look back and be able to be proud of your hard work. People who dont put effort into it or not much, wont have the satisfaction of giving it "your all".
You are not a bad person at all. Admittedly, I probably would have felt that way too for a moment or two. It happens from time to time, totally normal. No judging from me.
I remind the comparison green monster in me that I can't be like that because every body is different- there are just too many variables (age, weight, activity level/types, diet/WOE, environment) in how one loses weight/fat.
I have felt that way about a friend, a friend I consider a brother. Although he only tried for about 2 weeks seeing him drop 8 lbs while eating bad foods irked me a bit, then I moved on.
No, I totally get where you're coming from...I would have probably done the same thing on the inside. I'm sure we all think all sorts of horrible things, but it's the grace that we actually show to others that matters. Keep up the hard work - you are doing this for you!
I get where you're coming from. I've felt like that as well. People can eat all they want and stay thin, and then complain they are fat. I'm actually on the other side of things with a friend, though. She's so jealous of me that I'm losing the weight, and she's not. But I'm trying damn hard, I'm focusing all of my energy on it, planning my day around it. And she just can't give up her daily starbucks or nightly ice cream, and she doesn't have the drive to exercise. I just try to be a good friend and I've stopped sharing my triumphs with her. I don't want to make anyone feel bad, but I'm not going to feel guilty about my triumphs either. You're not doing this for anyone but you. Keep up the hard work!!
The worst part is, she's actually lost some weight! Well, I am working my butt off (literally) and it bugs me when people can do things half-assed and still end up doing better than me.
The BEST part is.....you will be healthy and thin...she might get skinny but won't be as healthy as you!
Hang in there...and don't worry about judging, you can tell us anything.

Alright, you can all judge me now.
You're not a bad person. That was quite cute actually!
