I'm recently started a weight loss journey. This is watching what I eat and going walking/running/swimming. I've not told my best friend as I want this to be something I do for myself with the exercise in my time, when/if it suits me, doing the routes I want to go and often they are a last minute do or don't go out for walk/run, depending on how I feel. If I tell her, she will then want to come and it will then turn into doing things at times around her, routes to accommodate her 3 dogs, the walks will turn into strolls and they wont be as long as I want them to be in terms of distance.
I'm also on a mission to change my wardrobe. This is huge for me as I rarely see anything I like and which fits me. Me & my friend have a joke between us that our wardrobes are both 10 years old plus. Again, I've not told my friend and instead I am buying new bits as I see them (I've had some miracle turn in taste and am suddenly seeing loads of different things that I like, things I wouldn't usually go for). She will see me wearing these things, I'm not hiding them from her, Is it weird I am not telling her ?
I guess another reason for not telling her about the new purchases is that she will then assume I have money to do stuff. Yes I have money to treat myself to a £30/£40 dress once a month for example, but not £200 for a random weekend away, which is the type of thing my friend is always wanting to do.
AIB a sh*t friend ?
