To think friend is jealous over weightloss?

I have a friend who seems to be in competition with me (just the impression I’ve got over the last couple of years). It’s silly as subjectively she definitely has the better life.

I don’t see her on her own anymore and it’s always a small group of us. We definitely are not as close as we were.

Met up last weekend as a group and I’ve started medication (prescribed by doctor) for weight loss and I’ve lost a stone very quickly. I had to tell them as I really couldn’t eat or drink much from the medication.

Friend is slim (at a guess I’d say 6 stone lighter than me) and she will rarely message me and yesterday she messaged to ask how the weight loss is going …. Am I reading into this too much? I feel like I just want to believe the good in people and I also wish I’d said nothing.

Should have asked this to begin with, if she's already slim and as you said, "she definitely has the better life"

What would she be jealous of?

Why would she be jealous if she is already slim?

You think she's jealous of you losing weight but she's slim and doesn't need to lose any weight?

I'm struggling to understand
