    So...I've been working hard at the gym and now my old clothes no longer fit. I donated them and went shopping for new pants...and turns out I can fit comfortably into size 2s. My younger sister is 3 inches taller than me and we now weigh the same, but she doesn't work out at all - and is also a size 2.

    So today I was showing her my new pants...and she said that my legs are "way" fatter than hers and that I'm not a "real" size 2.

    I'm feeling a bit down because I thought my new pants were a NSV...but now I feel like I'm just deluding myself. :/

    Anyone else have trouble shaking off mean comments? Maybe I'm a bit too sensitive about my weight but I've been working really hard and would like to hear nice things rather than mean thoughts. :(

    It's called jealousy. Smile and say, "It's muscle, but thanks for noticing that I put the effort in." even if you don't feel its muscles. But seriously, it is the Green-Eyed monster spewing from every pore. Don't let her win and feel defeated. Grab a hot dress next and make her turn sixty shades red!

    Your sister is just jealous because your legs actually looks toned up in that pants, more sexy than she can ever done it ;)

    I rather have big muscles rather than stick thin limbs :D

    I know a handful of people who slip in negative comments or judgements towards me when we're chatting. I do three things: 1) I expect nothing less from them. 2). I avoid them when I can or when I'm not in the mood for insults. 3) I completely ignore the comment or I act dumb and cheerful, ie. an observation: " wow, that wasn't a very nice thing to say" or " I wonder what made you say that." Or I agree, "yeah, I guess I'll never be as size two as you". Or, " oh gotta go, My hot boyfriend and I have an appointment at the country club." :)

    The rule is, if you don't have to get them wet and/or lie down on the bed to zip them up, the pants are an NSV. Period.

    When I was young my sister used to do that to me all the time...she would borrow my cloths and tell me they looked better on her !
    we are now 47 and 50 and I mentioned this the last time I went home to visit and she said no she never said that to me and her husnad ( who was our brother's friend when we were kids) Said yes you did ...You used to do it all the time... She couldn't believe she was that mean .................

    We are great frinds now so none of that matters anymore but it did hurt when I was young...

    Punch her in the neck and then tell her that your pants disagree with her.

    1000x this.

    I would just smile and tell her that when you go down another size, you will give her your old size 2's so she can fill them out better than you! :laugh:

    Find some designer pants that are "vanity sized" and labeled a zero, then show her how you actually wear a size smaller than her. ;)

    My sister is still a jealous, competitive person, and she's over 40. It's their loss, not ours.

    As the oldest of 8 (5 of us are girls), I completely understand how you feel. Just keep kicking butt in the fitness department. Don't let her words or anyone else's slow you down.

    I'm 5'0" and have a small frame, so 95-100 pounds is still within my healthy weight range. I set that goal a long time ago -if I only lose another 10 pounds, I will still be happy :)

    Tell her to mind her own damn business and smack the back of her head.

    Remember, it's YOUR journey, not hers. She hasn't had to walk in your shoes, and has NO right to judge.

    Wondering why you feel you need to lose 22 more pounds if you are a size 2.
