Do I have weight loss jab jealously?

We are a friends group of 5, all in our 40s, all of us were somewhat overweight. My friends are taking the jabs. Two of them were obese, the other two just overweight and were dishonest to get a prescription. I never was too interested in getting them for myself, my BMI is 27.5, I’m overweight because I can’t stop eating sweets, but otherwise sporty and healthy. But I was never bothered by what they did either, live and let live. After several months, they are now all a size 8-10. That might sound cheesy but they’re living their best lives, went shopping to get new clothes, have found a new style, are so confident in their bodies and just radiating. So here I am now, hanging out with these 4 stunning women and being the ugly duckling as a frumpy, overweight 40 something mum. Not quite sure what the point of my post is, I’m happy for my friends, particularly one that was very obese and on the verge of health problems, but I start to wonder if I’m just on a strange crusade of not taking the jabs because I somehow feel like an outsider.

Why are you comparing yourself to them? Why do you feel like an outsider - is there a lot of weightloss chat, shopping, comparisons etc?

You could try getting to the crux of the problem, If they were happy, living their best lives, lost weight but still larger than you, would you feel the same? Because that would define whether you were actually happy for them or you would have felt like an outsider in any event.
