I have a fraternal twin who has always been slimmer than me. We are best friends and we are very supportive of each other. I just for once want see life from her 'normal' weight view. I've been up and down, up and down with weight since I was old enought to join weight watchers. She was dating and hanging with the 'cool' kids. I was the tag along sister. I guess it still kind of bothers me that I was always looked at differently. Now married with kids, those stupid high school years still seem to haunt me. Like everyone posting I've lost and gained and gained and lost. What clicked for you calorie counters? It fits me to calorie count except I never stick with the program. I can't flick that mental switch that says stop eating or believe in myself. I am 5'8", 41 female , 212 lbs.
