Somebody Stop Me...

Hey there everyone. All my life I have been the "fat sister"... I have always secretly wanted to be as thin as my sister- and today it happened... I finally weigh exaclty the same as her! The thing is, I can't tell her that. For her, 234 lbs. is her heaviest weight and she is really struggling with it. For me- it has been a long journey since 400 lbs, and I am so happy to finally be here- I want to shout it from the rooftops, but I CAN NOT and MUST NOT tell her- how awful would that be? So- I told all of you instead, and I will keep my big mouth shut and not say anything to her that might make her feel bad. (but yay for me!)

I don't know, I think you should shout for joy and she should shout with you. She needs to be supportive of you and all you have accomplished. I don't think you would be rubbing it in especially since you are the same weight - not smaller. It might be a little tough for her but this is about YOU! Way to go Stacy! Dawn

Ya know what... You go girl! I know the feeling. My highest was 399, I'm 247 right now. It is strange, but I am so glad I am no longer 399. My friends that weighed about what I weigh now, all went on diets when I got around their size. but good for them..I'll catch up. Congrats again!

OH HONEY!! i have that same sister. And i have been longing for the day that i could give her clothes and say.. "these are too big fort me do you want them?" Honestly you are too nice. I woudl wait till you were the same size she was when she was rubbing it in. Then just casually mention to her in a nice way. That you are about the size she used to be when she made you feel awful.

WTG Stacy, my sister has always been smaller than me before I had the surgery. It didn't take long for me to pass her by. I usually wait for her to ask me what I weigh or what size I'm in. She appears glad for me but I know she would like to be smaller herself. I just try not to rub it in HW 250 @ 5'6" tight 22's SW 235 CW 168 size 6-10 jeans GW surgeon 165 GW mine 150/160????????

Stacy, Congrats hun You should be so proud of yourself!!! YEAH! and like the others said this is about YOU! and you should share it with ALL. I know she feels bad and I can understand how you feel but she has to be glad for you as well. Maybe get her involved in some exercise with you? or have a little get together and make healthy foods? You might just motivate her to start to lose some weight as well. take care Debra P

Wow Congrats and what a great sister you are because I can't wait til it happens for me i'm going to shout it from the roof tops. Yeahhh for you enjoy the moment. Monica

Congratulations Stacy!!! You must be feeling awesome. I don't have any sisters, so I can't relate, but I would be shouting from the rooftops too what my accomplishments were. Maybe instead of telling her a specific number, you can just share your pride in your journey and how much better you are feeling about yourself. It makes your point without being in her face about it. Nonetheless, you are doing great!!! Over 160 lbs. WOW!!!! Way to go! ~Kerri

Wow- Thanks everybody... I thought maybe I was a bad person for feeling like I finally "Caught up" and for wanting to tell her so badly... I guess you are right. I have certainly worked hard for this, and I guess it is deserved. I won't rub it in, but I might mention to her how well I have done. I suppose you are right- we should never feel guilty about our success! Thanks for all of the support!
