My dad always tells me Im getting fatter, then wonders why I visit only twice a year (lol)
Its been hard for me the past couple of years because my sister (who was ALWAYS) bigger than me, put in the big effort and lost a stack of weight. Shes lost over 50 kilos over a long period of about 5 years, and looks amazing. In fact the first time I saw her after she lost weight (she lives in Vic, Im in WA), I was 14 weeks preg, felt fat as a house, and meeting her at the airport all I could do was cry. I was proud of her and So happy for her, but also green with envy. It was like it was Ok when we were both in the same boat, but now Im the only fat one, and I really struggle with it.
