Not being worthy of my friends motivates me to lose weight

Of course my friends would never say that to me but I feel like I'm unworthy of being their friend. They are just so much prettier than me and I feel like I embarrass them by going out with them because other people would ask themselves why they're friends with someone like me.
I know it's stupid and I'd never think someone is unworthy of my friendship because they weight a few pounds more but I just can't stop thinking like that.
Even in the past I've never lost weight for myself but always for someone else(yes I have lost weight in the past but I stopped and went back to my old weight).

    Motivation is fleeting, as your past attempt proves. Better to get into some better habits instead. Try not drinking anything with calories in it for a week.

    Make it easy on your willpower: keep snacks and sweets out of your house. Much easier to stick to a diet that way.

      Thanks for the advice but the thing is I only drink water and I don't eat much. I barely eat 1000 kcal a day and I really don't know why I'm still overweight. Btw I'm not trying to lose weight with that. Those are just my normal eating habits that I have developed over the last ~2 years and yet I didn't even lose weight once in that time, I was even gaining weight and now my weight's always the same. Sometimes I just don't understand how my body works

        In that case, you have only one option available: you need to start counting your calories. Just being more mindful about it will help you pick less calorie dense and more filling foods.

          Can you even read? They literally said in that comment that they eat half or two fifths of the daily requirement of kcals, depending on gender.

            I'll spell it out for you since it flew over your head: OP is eating more than they think they are. By counting calories this will be addressed.

              And you know this how? What evidence do you have that they aren't counting calories already? Other than the ideas you pull out of your arse, I mean.

              When are you going to realise that just because you think something, doesn't make it fact?

    I'm currently doing the exact same thing! I used to be pretty overweight AND an immigrant so i used to get picked on a lot, Then i got new friends in high school and they kinda like me so i didn't feel like i needed to improve myself until i got a crush on a girl (haha) Fucking hell i get crushes all the time so i decided to work out and get buff, After some time i began losing weight AND gaining some muscles i could do 55 pushups at my peak but i'm now at 40 :( What i'm saying is, all the hard work you put in improving yourself will pay off in the long run.

    I feel like this too. I'm quite fit, but I just can't seem to make a school sport no matter how good I am. People far worse than me make the team, but not me. That's not just my opinion btw. Even my gamer friends who don't give a shot about fitness and are always addicted to their devices easily make sports. I lead a healthy lifestyle. Run, exercise and keep a good diet. Yet I can't make a sport. Idk Wat to call it. Unlucky, Destiny, curse...Idk. sometimes I just wanna die from embarrasment and because I feel so useless
