The grass is always greener, right?
Sure I get jealous of other people's success, but I
know they've worked hard for that success. My brother, for instance, is losing weight while I am. He's lost just as much as me in a lot less time. I know part of that is that he's a guy so he has an easier time, but I see what he's doing. He works out, watches what he eats, he's doing everything that I am. I love my brother way too much to let a tiny bit of jealousy get in the way of being SUPER PROUD of him for every pound he's down. He'll get to goal waaaaaaayyyyy before I do (he has less to lose... again... he's a guy...) but I'll be so super excited for him. It might even be a little inspiration for me down the road.
But to let that comparison rule what
I do and what
I need to change? Very destructive. As stated before, for both the relationship & my mental health.
As for Sarah claiming that losing weight was easy... well... if it were easy I doubt 3FC would exist still. Who knows? Maybe
she did have an easier time, being that she could devote much of her time to eating wisely & exercising. Now, I'm a busy woman, I've got crap to get done. So doing all the crap I need to do WHILE losing weight? I'm practically a super hero.
And how in the world is losing 17 lbs NOT successful??? Every pound, every drop of sweat, every "no" to a piece of cake, every STEP is a success.
Life isn't fair. That's why comparisons never will be either.
