Hi Allison
Thanks so much for your reply. Very interesting. I think my friend wants to be fit and sporty but also I think she enjoys being slimmer than everyone else. There’s definitely a competitive edge to it. I used to always compare myself to others and put myself down so am trying not to do that anymore. I tend to be susceptible to this.. I want to just focus on how I’m getting on now, hopefully!
I did go and see her and I’m pleased that I did.

Hi Fiona
: Here's another perspective. Do you
: think your friend makes fitness
: and her weight a priority because
: she enjoys being active, or
: because she wants to be healthy,
: or does she live in terror of
: gaining weight? Could she be thin
: because she's restricting and
: doing a lot of exercise to lose
: weight?

: Of course, I don't know your friend,
: and it could be any one of those
: things, but not everyone who seems
: fit and healthy is happy, or even
: healthy. People do many unhealthy
: things to stay thin. It's just
: something to keep in mind when you
: find yourself comparing and
: feeling envious.

: These things will most likely bother
: you less and less over time. I
: hope you have a good time seeing
: your friend.
