Awful confession ...

So last week I confirmed it. I am a horrible, shallow person. LOL


My pregnant girlfriend and I were talking and she mentioned that she will be going on Jenny Craig as soon as she has her baby.


My first instinct wasn't "Oh good for you!" it was, "noooooooooooo!".


You see, my girlfriend is quite gorgeous. Always. Even pregnant. And for once I felt that I was slimmer than her. No matter that she was also supporting a whole life form, and that likely that was the cause of her weight gain, no my totally irrational mind kept thinking "you're finally skinnier than her!".

Well not sure if this makes you feel any better but I have two friends who did the L. A. Weight Loss. Did great and were bragging how they'd be this size and that size and like you I was thinking "NOOOOO!!!" So unfair they can aford to do such things and I have no time or money to do it!!


However, once they both stopped the L. A. Weight Loss program they gained or stayed were they were at.


Again, like you I feel horrible I liked even though I'm a bit over weight I was always on the thinner side compared to my friends. lol Was terrible when I went down to the Jodi Picoult

You know....is it shallow? I (personally) think it's called human nature. Plus....a little jealousy can go along way in kicking your own butt ;-)


(Have to point out that when I first started reading your post I thought it was a joke you were passing along, LOL)


I have a friend who did 'Atkins' a couple of years back; she lost about 20lbs....but was doing no exercise. I was killing myself at the time, and barely losing a pound a week! Low and behold she gained it back when she got off the diet. Now she's looking terrific- eating sensibly, AND working out. Guess she finally saw the big picture!
