She's skinny and I'm not! how can I lose weight?

[Anonymous]

Homecoming is coming up but I have a problem. the girl I'm going with who is also my best friend looks so much better than me. she's tall and really skinny and could be a model if she wanted to. she looks fabulous in dresses. I'm not skinny and I look horrible in dresses. we plan on going dress shopping together but that will make me hate myself even more.

i can't find my question because I deleted my account but I asked a question on how much I should be eating to lose weight. I want to start losing more weight. a couple of guys on here told me I could lower my calorie intake to about 750 since I am a girl and shouldn't be eating more than 1200 calories a day. what else can I do to lose weight? I am going to feel so insecure being next to her the whole time

i never said anything bad about my friend. I'm nothing like her and standing next to her I look like sh*t. I have already said that

It's interesting that you said you shouldn't be eating more than 1200 calories daily as that generally considered the minimum for women. Try using an actual diet calculator ( link ) to get a better idea of your RDA. You'd probably have much better results, more energy, and generally look and feel healthier if you ate more and increased your level of activity. Statistically speaking, you'd also be more likely to keep the weight off that way.

Workout lots of cardio, eat vegetables and water, no meat, no junk food other then occaisonally chicken.

I used to be pretty fat- and this is what I did.

I drank green tea for breakfast and only ate a small dinner and ran 3 miles a day

i don't know where you got your calorie information but its wrong

[Asker]

a few guys on here told me to keep it around 700 or 900 calories.

why do you actually care how your friend looks?

You can start working out...and if your friend makes you feel insecure...then you might have some issues...

this can lead to jealousy...

[Asker]

because I look like sh*t compared to her.

[Cuddle_Muffin]

I spent 2 minutes of my life typing and answer for you and you still give me a dislike.

Whatever...You are INSECURE GET HELP!

I bet you are also JEALOUS of you friend.

I don't understand why you can't take hold of your emotions...if want to loose weight...exercise..eat healthy...you already should know that...not need writing some sh*tty description of your friend and how you are jealous of her body...just gtfowtbs.

[Asker]

where did I write a sh*tty description? I already said she's tall and skinny and could be a model if she wanted to and she looks fabulous in dresses. did you not read?

[Cuddle_Muffin]

Yes. I read that.

That is what I implied as a sh*tty description. What I am trying to tell you is be content with yourself...no need worrying about your friends image. Yeah so you feel you aren't as attractive as her...but it doesn't mean you have to compare your looks...she is her own person. You are your own person. Stop worrying about sh*t you can't even change in time before homecoming. Besides EXERCISE will make a difference..not just calorie intake. Ask your doctor to help with this.

@Update- No one said you said anything BAD about your friend. You are saying stuff BAD about yourself...and that is not good.

[Asker]

how is that a sh*tty description? she's gorgeous and beautiful and I'm ugly and short. does that help? guys always drool over her but never me, I just get picked on for being ugly.

[Cuddle_Muffin]

You clearly don't like yourself. No need of helping someone...when they don't even like thier own selves. You need to get to a point where you are content with your image...because relying on other peoples coments on your looks and admiring your friends beauty...is not going to benefit you.

Like I said...this leads to Jealousy. You need to relax..loose whatever weight you want...but not because of trying to fit in with your friends beauty.

[Cuddle_Muffin]

(the whole description is sh*tty. It is a f***ed up situation...the way you feel is wrong)
