(**** please see post 4 below for more explanation on why this was so huge after adding this first post.)
I really didn't think this day would ever, ever come. Like ever. Not in my wildest dreams did I think it was possible, but.... It happened! I wear the same size or smaller than my sister! What is even bigger is that my sister is much more petite than I am, so that also means that for us to wear the same size, my sister has more fat than I do.
Oh my gosh!!! I feel a bit bad about being so happy about it, but see.... I "was" the "pretty" one, until I gained weight in late high school and college. Then all the attention started to switch to my sister as she was thinner and morer petite. In a way, I was happy for her because she had always played second fiddle to me. I was better at school and in activities, etc. so, that gave her something to be "better at". However, while I always tried to downplay being better at things because I didn't want to make her feel bad, she loved taunting me and flaunting her body once hers was better. She loved making me feel bad, so I resented that as I never did that to her.
So, when I read her Facebook update just now that she wants to get down to a size 6 in 2 months - and said two sizes in two months, I about hit the floor... Wait a second.... That means she wears a size 10. I wear between a size 8-10 and I'm 3 inches taller than her, she wears a size 6 shoe, I wear a 10. And when we were in high school, my skinny clothes were her fat clothes because of our frame differences.
That means my sister has more fat than me right now.... I feel almost giddy. I'm 42 years old and she is almost 40 and that has never, ever happened.
I know that makes me little and it's petty, but boy does this feel HUGE! Next is to be thinner than my mother in law. I have about 6 pounds to go for that one! (she has been very verbal bout my weight issues over the years).
I'm sure I still weigh more than my sister and probably always will due to our frame size differences and height differences, but this is HUGE! Yay!
Just had to share as I didn't want to be all mean on Facebook, rubbing it in!
