Last night, my boyfriend and I went out to dinner with one of our friends. I’ve always admired her slim figure; her thighs are phenomenal. Well, I just found out that she weighs 100 pounds. I’m only 2 inches taller than she is, but I weigh 30 pounds more. I had been feeling pretty decent about myself lately, but that was just such a depressing thought. I’ve always been a bit jealous of her body, but it’s weird that it never really made me feel bad about mine until I knew the numbers.
What’s funny is that while I’m jealous of her body, she’s jealous of mine. She’s always complaining that she has no boobs, although I think hers are a great proportion for her frame. We always want what we don’t have, don’t we?
Anyway, it’s not a huge deal; I’m not going to give up on my diet or anything like that. I’m just feeling a little down today, and I feel so petty sharing this with anyone else. I know I’ll snap out of it soon, so thanks for putting up with me.
That is so true!
Its always something that we want that we don't have! Example: Both of my daughters are just georgous (I am biased) They both have blond hair but one has very straight hair (from me) the other has very curley hair (from her dad) one has a small chest the other MUCH bigger. They argue all the time on how they wish they had each others traits! My sister and I do the same thing! She is stick skinny and I am pleasantly plump. POint is that I wish that I had her figure and she wants my chest.
Well, if it makes you feel any better-being two inches taller means that you should naturally be at least 10 pounds heavier than her-and this doesn't count anything such as frame size, body shape, fitness level, etc.
For an adult woman...100 pounds is pretty small, and unattainable for most of us.
I agree with the "grass is always greener". I have a friend who likes my red hair/green eyes combo...but I love her 100% naturall "gothic" black hair/peaches and cream skin/pale silvery eyes combination. And, my husband is Native American-and I am envious of my daughter's big brown eyes, dark hair, and great tanned skin.

I adore the red hair/green eyes combo! I love fair skin too and try to stay indoors or slathered in sunblock as much as possible during summer to try to not get any tanner. Then all my beautifully fair-skinned friends go off to the tanning booths.
I guess that's why there are so many appearance changing products out there: hair color, colored contact lenses, curling irons, hair straighteners,and the list goes on.
Surely there must be one 100% happy woman in existance (at least in regard to appearance). I'm sure they're out there, but I can't recall having ever met one. I remember in my high school chemistry class, the teacher asked all the women who were happy with their weight to raise their hands. Only one hand was raised, but I guess one is better than zero.

I have yet to meet one (sigh). One of my co-workers is gorgeous - big brown eyes, thin (but not too much), very in shape, and flawless skin...and she still doesn't think that much of her appearance!
I feel a similar way about.... YOU! :O) We're the same height, and I am about 10 lbs heavier, but I look like you did at your starting picture at 160, minus the great rack. Im so jealous of how good you look. I would have to be 115 to look like you. Dont think about the numbers. You look phenomenal. Your body is GORgeous.
A lot of women on here complain about their small waists with big hips and thighs. I'd love to have that. I have a larger waist and small hips and thighs. So, we all want what we don't have. At 5'7 I am a little bit tall and always envied the short, petite women. I'll just have to settle with doing the best I can with what I've got.
I'm always talking to my best friend, melissa, about being jealous of others...and how everyone has something they're not happy with thier body...
for example - she's 4'11 and wears a size 4 - and she has BEAUTIFUL hair and part of me is very jealous of many of her features...however - she's always telling me how SHE'S jealous of ME because I have "perfect skin" in her opinion (i get one pimple and i cry! lol) - and she unfortunately has a few too many.
in a wierd way - it is sort of a comfort to know that she's jealous of something that is natural to me - just like i'm jealous of her. it's funny to the both of us. :-D
Yes, we do always want what we don't have. I'm sure if you two switched positions, you'd wish you looked like her still (in your body). I must say, I remember seeing your before/after pictures, and you looked PHENOMENAL...you actually looked skinnier than what you weigh. I think you look really good the way you are now....and who knows, that extra "weight" you think shouldn't be there is probably just your boobs...LOL. All my friends think I weigh less than I really do because I'm very proportionate and carry fat evenly. And my C cups I'm sure add on 5 pounds each...LOL
===volunteering boobs... all you want!!!==== Take 'em... oh PLEASE!!
Hah, she can have some of mine too!
I'm actually pretty happy with the way I look. Not 100% so--it'd be nice to not have to special-order my bras, but hey at least they earn their keep--but pretty good.
Now, my sister, she's a size 12. And man, seeing a picture of my size-18 self sitting next to her (she's at exactly the ideal weight for her height, but I don't remember exactly what that is) gave me a heck of an attack of insecurity. But I've heard, "Oh, I wish I had your ____" more than once, so I try not to let it get me down. What everyone else has said is true, we've all got at least one thing that someone else wants. (For me it's legs or hair.)
I have met many women in my life that I am envious (sp?) of their looks and all I can say is that there are things they hate about their life, their body, etc. we all have them!
