Ht. 5'10", Start: 175 lb, Today: 160 lb (BMI %tile: 77), Goal: 140 lb - I feel so disgusted with myself. This summer i lost twenty pounds and my laugh changed a lot because I had a lot more self esteem, and I didnt feel like the ugly best friend out of the group, and i had an amazing boyfriend. But then i started noticing him notice my best friend, and he admitted he had feelings for her, and we broke up since then i have gained 5 pounds and im trying to get back on track. I know this sounds horrible but sometimes i hate having such a pretty skinny best friend. :(

I totally cosign with Amanda. You should take this situation to help you get motivated and determined to lose all the weight. I am very sorry about what you are going through but do not let this hinder your goals! I know you are capable of losing all that weight, afterall, you lost 20 pounds!! What makes you think you aren't capable of losing the weight now? Just lose the weight without comparing your beauty with your bestfriend. I know you are just as pretty if not MORE pretty than her because you have morality something she lacks, afterall who takes someones boyfriend? Take care and I wish you the best!!!!

Use those feelings as motivation. I know it sounds kind of lame, but anytime you feel jealousy toward her, use it. I hadn't seen my best friend in about a month, then i saw her and she was about my size. she used to be bigger than me, and i felt a little bit threatened, so i worked hard and lost 5 pounds in like 2 weeks. I dunno if its healthy to compare but it sure as hell works. anytime you feel like binging, think of your friend and your ex boyfriend and use that anger or resentment as motivation.
