I have recently relost 20 pounds. I saw my SIL this week. Unfortunately, she's gained back fifty pounds that she lost several years ago. She refuses to acknowlege the happiness and hard work of my weight loss. Her comment was: "Now I have to be the fat one." She is a wonderful SIL in every area except this. She can't stand it when I am losing weight - I honestly don't think she is happy for me.
I really do understand how she feels. Then I thought about how I felt when she was losing weight and I wasn't. I was happy for her and excited about her good health. I made a point of telling her this too. But, part of me was sad it wasn't me losing weight back then too. I was a little jealous too.
We have never been 'watching our food choices' at the same time. I wish that would happen.
Do you think that overweight people gaining weight around you when you are losing are really happy for you. I wonder.
PS... I am not referring to folks here at 3fc.
I suppose it really doesn't matter. I just do my own thing and aim for a sane day of food every day. Just wondering.
