So jealous of my mate

QI feel so insecure about my weight. Every time I look at my best friend, I get jealous. She has an amazing body and looks effortlessly good in everything. I feel like I’d have to be a model to wear certain things.

How can I stop feeling so jealous and insecure? Fiona, 24

ARepeat after me: ‘I will stop comparing myself to other people! No good can come of it.’

There will always be someone skinnier than you, or cleverer, or richer. Fixating on that is not the route to happiness, believe me.

Stop worrying about the number on the scales and appreciate what you’ve got. It’s easier said than done, I know. But each and every one of us has something that makes us fabulous.

Figure out what that something is for you.

And remember, for every person you’re envying, there is another person envying you.
