Do I Know You?
I used to be quite overweight, but over the last year or so I have made many changes in my life and have successfully lost almost 100 lbs. I don’t live close to any of my family and don’t post on social media so my family wasn’t really aware of my weight loss. I did mention that I was making healthier choices but that’s it. It’s just that every time before that I’ve tried to lose weight it hasn’t worked out, so I didn’t want anyone commenting on it.
My sister got engaged last year and I’m super happy for her. Due to circumstances, the wedding had to be pushed back a little. It’s happening a week from now and because I haven’t seen everyone in so long, I decided to come down two weeks earlier to help out and catch up. Well, when I came to see my family my sister freaked out upon seeing me.
As it turns out, she has gained a bit of weight. Not super noticeable, and to me, she still looks great. But I think this is the first time in our lives that I’m smaller than her. I’ve always been the “fat sister.” She basically accused me of trying to upstage her and my parents are fully taking her side. I’m really not sure if I’m in the wrong here as so many of my family are taking her side of things.
