dang it all to heck. i'm struggling again with the whole "it's not a competition" thing (trigger for weight talk)

Possible trigger:

H came in my office this morning all "lalalalala I'm at my lowest weight yet" which is 4 lbs lower than me now (not that he knows that, I don't tell him my weight anymore) I KNOW logically I should not let it make me feel bad about myself because 1) I shouldn't compare myself to him anyway and 2) he's on a medication that is contributing to the weight loss because he's never hungry; he hardly eats anything compared to the way he used to eat. And he refuses to drink water or exercise, both of which I do. And then I feel guilty for not being happy for him getting healthier, which I usually am, but when I feel like this, it's like I can't even see that.

I know all of this in my logical brain but Immature 15-year old Artie on the inside, is screaming it's not fair!! and stomping around. I'm gonna go take little miss 15 for a walk while I'm on lunch.
