    These are my initial impressions from your original post. I haven't read through everyone else's responses so maybe someone said this.

    If I had my sister over, and she was very overweight and proceeded to eat half a pack of cookies I bought with my money that I mean to last a lot longer, I'd be pissed too.

    I am willing to bet this is more about respect issues than what you eat and what you weigh. You were her guest but violated it by demonstrating a lack of self control around HER food.

    And, my bet is this was also some tough love. You've already lost 62 lb according to your ticker, and I'm sure she doesn't want to see you cave to eating half a pack of cookies and gaining the weight back.

    (I am a man by the way)
    In some ways, it never occured to me at all that she would mind me having the biscuits as such, like i didn't think she'd miss them. i don't know if she cares about that or not.
    She phoned me 3 times today, i pick up the 3rd time and she said how much she loves me and everything, I said, you too. I feel optimistic either way, i can't guarentee i can easy manage everything next time i call round but together i think we can find a way to mange these things.
    she is a great sister for real, she kind of raised me for my teens, as i say.

    i don't have a plan as such, i just eat what i eat then track it after, if i feel inclined to, but usually not; just trying to eat less really.

    I have only just caught up with this & sorry I missed it at the time!!

    I suspect it was not the quantity of biscuits that got to your sister but the fact that she knew that it was the start of a slippery slope for you. She obviously loves & cares for you & although she could have addressed this a bit more calmly, she reacted through fear of where you were heading......

    It sounds as though she really wants to help you help yourself but knows that only you can decide to do it properly. I would suggest including her in your plans & getting her on side so she can cheer you on as well as remind you of your goals when you slip.

    It is horrible to see someone you love killing themselves with any addiction. I am glad you have such a loving & supportive sister (although human!) I am not so fortunate & I would give a lot for that!!
