I feel like a terrible friend after sending a funny workout video to my friend.
I guess I'll give a little backstory, I lost around 80 pounds last year through the gym, 5 months of a glp1 (please no hate about that please) & calorie deficit. I'm maintaining that weight loss. I started strength training 6 months ago and I'm feeling better than I ever have in my entire life, mentally and physically. I recently started making videos of me at the gym doing workouts, and I edit them super funny. I literally just send them to my friends, I don't post them or anything. It's just fun for me to do and also helpful to look back at my form and such.
Anyways, I have this one friend that is currently on a glp1 for weightloss. She was having me give her some advice a while back on how to cope with some of the symptoms, so I was helping her with that.
I just finished editing a little video of me doing like 3 different workouts, it's short. it's a minute and a half long. it was so funny because of the way I edited it and how chaotic it was. I sent this to her and simply said "please watch this"
Her initial response was hilarious, I was at work so wasn't able to reply. And it seems her texts didn't go through until today. All of the sudden the texts come through and I'm done working and see these.
I feel like a shit person for sending that video to her. I didn't know it would make her feel that way AT ALL! I totally wouldn't have sent it if it did. Plus the video is not me body checking, not doing anything of that sort. it's literally of me looking a mess doing random workouts. Edited in a funny way.
On the other hand, I almost feel kind of weird about her response. Although she seems super sincere in making sure I don't feel bad for sending that, I find it weird because I have never once given her advice on working out. I don't ever talk I her about my weight, she knows I go to the gym but I have never gone into detail and we never talk about it. It's usually if she calls me and I'm in the middle of a gym session and I tell her that's what I'm doing and that I can't answer. The only time I've ever given her advice was when she asked, but it was about her starting the glp1, and that was back in November of last year. That was the first "workout" video I've ever sent her. I wouldn't even call it that because it was one of those silly ones that you edit like crazy. It was not at all a super serious video nor was I trying to show off my body in it.
I understand where she is coming from. Shit, I was overweight for years! It's hard to not compare yourself. I understand it all too well. But for some reason I find myself feeling a type of way over her response. Although I obviously still feel shitty and empathetic toward her feelings. I'm just all over the place. Am I overthinking this? Probably. I just want to be a good friend. I don't know why exactly I feel the way I do. Am I in the wrong?
