Sounds like a painful session and a painful place to be in.
Are you jealous of "things" or of their relationships, openness, willingness to change or any other such personality traits? Those are two very different things in my book.
I'm often envious of the things other people have...nicer cars, nicer art, nicer whatever.
But when it comes to being jealous of other people's ability to have relationships, to feel open and spontaneous and whatever else...I'm just green all over. And I hate myself for it. But if i stop a moment and really think about it, I'm not wanting to stop them from having their things, or their abilities, or whatever; I just want them too. I'm guessing this is true for you as well. And that is normal and OK.
It always feels like enough will never be. I'll always want more. I think this is the human condition and keeps us motivated to keep learning, changing and pushing through.
And I'm sorry you felt fat. You are anything but. I realize that doesn't help but I had to say it.
love and hugs,
Daisy
