Yep, another "non-supportive family" thread...

Mine's kinda different though.

My sister is angry. She's on the verge of not speaking to me. When I asked her what her attitude was about, she replied "I will NOT be the fat sister! That's your job! It always has been!" But she won't stick to a "diet." She won't improve her quality of food. She refuses to get help with her emotional eating. She refuses all of my attempts to help.

Guess what... I'm not the fat sister anymore.

She's over 40 and entirely not happy.

I'm laughing like Nelson from the Simpsons... *points* HAAA-HAAAAAAAA!

    Hi, I am glad that you are not the fat sister anymore, it is good you are changing the family dynamic. we can only hope that your sister gets a grip and becomes inspired by you to get healthy also. It is funny how people react, family and friends in my case when the changes become noticable, how others become threatened.

    Congratulations on your sucess and you are an inspiration.

    Wow, your sister sounds like kind of a bully =/
    I'm glad she's getting hers now that you're getting in shape! Although I'm sure you have other reasons for getting in shape, that's a great little side reward :)

    Fantastic! Other than not being the thin sister anymore, I'm guessing she's jealous of all the positive attention you're getting and she's not. Keep up the good work, for your health and longevitiy! :)

    Families who'd have them Lol. My Brother(twin) is supportive in whatever I choose to do BUT my Father & Sister are born nay sayers & detract from my positive goals. Try to not share with them & keep the victories for those that appreciate the effort you have put in :)

    It is funny the things that keep a family "inbalance." Lucky for me, my sister and I are working on this together!

    The best revenge is to live well.
    Just be kind and know that your happiness is killing her now, but it just might motivate her later.

    Yeah...that karma is a *****....

    Seriously, do NOT let this put a dent your diet at all. If she cannot accept that you have lost weight for your own self, she doesn't deserve to be happy.

    Your sister's name from now on is "Fattie", so be sure to say it to her as often as you can.
    And invite her to the gym at least 3 times every week, leaving messages on her voice mail.

    No, no, don't do that....:devil:

    As the "skinny" sister who is NOW the FAT sister (but is closer everyday to the same size sister)!! I was very proud of my sister for her accomplishment, and she truly motivated me! So I say it's your sister's loss!! Enjoy your "new" self.

    This is a new way of life for me... definitely not a "diet." I'm still trying to get her onboard, she's just uber-resistant right now...

    Someday... Someday, she'll be happy for me. Someday, I'll help her with inspiration and motivation. Someday, she'll realize that she, too, has value and is worth taking care of herself.

    Someday, I'll win the lottery and be a size 6.

    We'll see what happens first =)

    Until then, I'm not going to name call. I'm not going to point and laugh (until I hang up the phone and she can't hear me)... I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing...

    Thanks for all your support, all of you! I couldn't have done any of this without MFPers =)

    And she said that to you, WOW. So is her mind processing thinking that if she says this to you that you will start gaining weight for her. Laughable. She sounds very spoiled
