wow moment shopping this morning!

ok i went to this fabulous sale at Fashion Bug today. Buy one item get the second item for $1...anyway i went nuts in there. i was so excited i got new jeans in a SIZE 12. i can't believe it!! XL shirts and size 12 jeans...the only thing that sucked is i was shopping alone. no one for me to get excited with. luckily i know the women that work there and they were happy for me. and they were the ones telling me to get the 12 because the 14 was too big. i even called and left a message on my mom's machine telling her about the size 12's and she's in mexico until saturday. i'm such a dork!! there is only one bad part to this whole story...i called my sister when i got home to tell her how excited i was and all she had to say was, "yeah i really try to be excited for you but i can't because i'm still fat. you've never been smaller than me and i'm having trouble dealing with that. so i guess i'm the only fat one left." i mean good lord..i've already lost one friend because she was so jealous of my weight loss now my sister is being a poo too. i don't know what to do!! any suggestions??

Thats great news!!!!! Hey, I called my mom when I got into 14s and was jumping around the dressing room like a nut! We all deserve those moments! You should be so very proud of yourself whether they have stretch or not! Great job!!!!! On your sister, at least she was able to be honest with you. I'm sure this is very hard on her seeing you change and not herself. I always felt conflicted when my friends would lose weight and not me. I was happy for them, but at the same time I was upset at myself and let that take over. Of course I never had the courage to tell them what I really felt so I'm sure on more than one occasion I was a real downer for them. Just keep encouraging her in any way you can and be patient. Like I said its a big step that she was honest enough to tell you how she really felt. Maybe thats her way of asking for your help? I hope things work out for you to. Remember shes always gonna be your sister though so no matter what ya gotta put up with her (same for her too) lol! Seriously though, maybe you too could work together with both of you losing weight? Even if she doesnt live nearby maybe try calling and doing a "progress report" to keep you both motivated? Make plans to work out x amount and get in x amount of water and protein with each other and keep each other accountable. It'll work in both your favors! Just b/c she hasnt had surgery doesnt mean she cant start creating a healthier lifestyle right? Of course shes going to eat more than we do so I wouldnt really say too much about that. But exersize,water, and protein are things EVERYBODY thin or large have to watch out for. ANd if she loses weight in the process be sure to give her EXTRA pats on the backs. In her case she might need a little more attention about it right now since she feels like the "only fat one left" Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Krystle

Wow, good for you! As far as your sister goes, you can't make her accept the changes in you. You have to worry about yourself first, and don't let her get to you. If she is obese, unhappy, and at risk, tell her to look into WLS, it might help her too. GL2U Robin 315/202/160-190?
