Preface:
I've been on my weight loss journey for a few years now, SW: 196, CW: 130. I'm SO close to my goal weight of 120! But these last few pounds are proving to be quite difficult. My methods are working, deficit + exercise, however it's quite a crawl now.
On to the rant:
My journey started out simple, only with myself to consider and no distractions. However, now living with two people on their own journeys, I'm finding myself getting discouraged and feeling indignant. The reason for this, is that their journeys are wildly different from mine, and hearing of their complications/success feels so unfair.
The first, is a male in a cut phase after bulking. I'm happy for his success, but hearing how he's "dropping 20 lbs in 2 months easily" is hard to hear when I get at most 2 lbs a month. Especially when I'm in a plateau.
The second, is a male trying to gain weight and build muscle mass. Hearing his struggle to even eat 3000 calories with my history of binge eating is shocking to me.
I hope they succeed in their goals, but its so hard for me not to be bitter. As a 25F on a 1200 calorie diet, it can be disheartening to watch them eat in one meal, my entire daily calorie allowance. Different TDEE and goals i know.. just sucks sometimes! Trying not to compare myself but since it's an unfair game (my thoughts go out to all the short ladies out there) its really hard.
Anyone have similar experiences to share?
