Feeling discouraged after seeing my (ex)friend losing weight faster than me.

There's this girl I almost dated (I'm a girl too), and we were both overweight, me being slightly bigger than her. I used to tell her I wanted to lose weight and especially build muscle. Our friendship ended (for other reasons) a little over a month ago now, and I wanted to check out her social media out of curiosity and boredom.

She lost a lot of weight. And I mean, I wonder if it's even healthy to lose that much in so little time... I've lost a lot of weight before (70lbs to be exact) but it took me almost a year. This past month I've lost a little but it's not very noticeable yet (I got back on my weight loss journey after stopping for three years, I only gained a little bit of it back luckily).

I know I shouldn't compare my journey to others but this feels so discouraging and it makes me feel so sad. I really wish I hadn't looked at her profile. She has such a nice body too and my body looks nothing like that... I just feel like I'm so slow at this weight loss thing and I get this idea that I'll never reach the weight I want even though deep down I know it's not impossible. I don't know. Sorry for being so gloomy. I'll keep going with my weight loss by the way, I just needed to get this out of my mind.
