I wasn't going to post again so soon, but I need someway to feel okay. My sister is critisizing me. My little sister is critiquing my weight. She says I look skinny, but in an accusatory way. Like she doesn't like that I may be finally closing the gap in our looks at least a little. She's used to being the one that gets all the attention, she's the pretty one, the tan one, the tiny one, the blonde one. So I've lost nearly 40 pounds since October, I was huge then and I'm just approaching an okay weight now. I don't need her saying these things. She's the only one that says anything about it like that. She tried to bring negative attention on me saying "do you eat?"Of course. "how much do you weigh?" And I lie, saying I don't know. Like I don't keep track of that every minute of everyday. "doesnt she look skinny mom?" with a sneer in her voice and mom really has nothing to say because she isnt mean. She doesnt lie to make me feel bad. And then my sister's friend chimes in with "yeah, are you anorexic or something?" Really?! I weigh 147.6 pounds. I'm not anorexic, I'm not that even skinny at all. I still bulge and have fat rolls. I'm not small. She just wants me to feel bad and stop so that I don't tread on her territory as the thin, pretty one of the family. Fuck this. She wants to see skinny, she hasn't seen anything yet.

Don't be so hard on yourself, she might be jealous of you, but you sound like a wonderful person with a great personality. Surely you don't want to be her? You just want to be you, a happy you. Try not to let it affect you, its prob cos you've done amazing to lose that much since Oct and shes jealous of your success, take it as a compliment rather than a criticism.

Just keep it up!! You're doing wonderful! Don't let them bring you down. Are you doing this for your sis? Yea, I didn't think so. I agree with Unicorn, it sounds like she's a bit jealous.

You're right, sometimes family gets to me more than they should. Thank you so much for your encouraging words, I think I needed to hear that. You are both lovely.
