Feeling Bitter Toward Friend Who Is “Not Struggling at All” With Her Diet

Hey everyone. Just needed to vent. Been trying to lose weight for about 3 months now, and I’ve lost about 15 lbs. I’m trying to take it slow (I am currently at 1750 calories), because I am an absolute food addict, and cutting out enough food to get to 1500 calories a day just makes me miserable. And I’m okay with this. I’m seeing results, however slow, and it’s not impeding my life too much.

Anyway, I was just talking to my friend, who recently started a diet and decided to download My Fitness Pal at my recommendation. I was complaining to her about how hungry I am all the time. Granted, I know a significant portion of this hunger is emotional, but it’s been a massive struggle for me.

She asked how many calories I’m eating, and I told her, and she was ASTOUNDED that I could possibly be hungry eating ALL THOSE CALORIES. She’s allegedly at 1200 and not hungry at all.

I’m not saying she’s lying, but it sure did make me feel like trash about myself that she is “struggling to get all of her calories in,” and I’m over here measuring out how many peanuts I can eat with my remaining 30 calories because I’m constantly starving.

I’m pretty sensitive about my weight, and my eating habits in particular, so this just really put me down.

Anyone else ever deal with stuff like this?
