Jealousy anyone??????

Is anyone dealing with the jealousy of friend or family member? My sister, who has been a huge supporter of mine is starting to get a touch of the green-eyed monster. She has stopped complimenting me on my progress and she is beginning to panic that she will be replacing me as the "fattest" member of the family. We have a great relationship and I don't want this to drive a wedge between us. Any advice? Anyone dealing with jealousy matters? C Leigh

So far I haven't dealt with that- but I was wondering- have you tried talking to her? If you have a great relationship, then you certainly don't want to drive a wedge between you and I think it would be best to bring it all out in the open. Try not making any reference to your weight loss for a while and see what happens. She might feel like that's all you talk about, you know? Not that you do- she just might feel that way.

My sister and I are really close to and she lost a lot of weight on her own. I use to ask her if she thought I looked different and she would tell me that I look the same to her. Everyone would tell me that she was jealous because they would say that they could really tell that I lost weight. So I asked her about it and she said that no one ever told her anything about her weight loss so I think she was upset because everyone was complimenting my weight loss with surgery when she did it on her own and no one ever told her anything. But I do remember telling her that she looked thinner and that was good, also, some aunts at a party told her she was looking good. I think she just wanted it constantly. It is more noticable on me because I was fat all over and she was just fat on her belly (she looked pregnant fat). What I'm trying to say is maybe you need to compliment your sister on something about herself, like maybe on what she is wearing or her hair, so she can feel good about herself too.
