Roommate's unhealthiness..

[ann22]

My college roommate is so crazy about going to aerobics all the time (even if she's extremely tired and really needs to rest) and skips meals.

This really bugs me because during the summer when I'm not around her much, I have a healthy attitude - I work out 4xs a week but eat what I want - and am happy with myself.

But during the school year, when she's around, I feel like I'm in competition with her for some reason. I'll feel bad after I have pizza for lunch, because I know she had a salad. Or if I only do cardio 3xs and she's done it 5xs, I feel bad.
Does anyone have any suggestions/advice on this? Thanks sooo much!

Do What Is Right For You

You need to take care of yourself. You are not in competition with your roommate. Hopefully, you can become a role model for your friend and she will follow your lead.

Take care.

I agree with momfourlife

Exercise is for health, happiness, joy of movement & the ability to live life to its fullest. I agree, be a good role model for your roommate by concentrating on your healthy happy lifestyle.
