  • grrrrr!

    I am having a moment of sibling rivalry! I have lost 65lbs thru Atkins and diligent exercise, which is great! I look better and I feel better.......however my sister who is 7 years older than me, never had a weight problem (just 3 kids), and who has NEVER stuck to an actual fitness routine, got a tummy tuck 2 days before Christmas and she just sent me a pic of her 6 week "progress". Progress ha, it happened overnight, that's not progress! It makes me mad! Here I am busting my butt, quite literally, and working very hard to get to where I want to be, and here she sends me this pic of her new flat stomach. I know I should be happy for her, but its hard to not be mad! I have worked very hard and I should have a stomach like that, and I don't, at least not yet anyway! But I find it very hard to be happy for her or excited when I feel like she cheated to get the look I have been working my butt off to get Ok just had to get that out, I know it makes me sound like a horrible sister I do love her and I am happy that she's happy but just envious that she has what I want Having an impatient moment I suppose. I know I will get there, I just feel like she cheated and beat me there. Grrrrr! I mean why didn't she get it done after she had her last kid? Which was years ago btw, I mean why now? I honestly feel like she's trying to show me up! Well at least I am still younger I guess
    don't think badly of me please, I do love her, it's just not fair! And I had to get that off my chest, I would never say that to her, it would just make her feel bad, and she doesn't deserve that, she's a great big sis! Ahhh just being a jealous lil sister! Thanks for listening!

          tell her thanks and you are borrowing that pick to show everyboidy what your tummy will look like when you get to maintnenace.


          then smooth out the pic from where you balled it up and threw it across the room, and patch up the dart holes you made in it using her new belly button as the bullseye and tape it to yours making sure the belly buttons match and wear it proudly as you what I will look like soon pic.

            You bought & paid for your new body with hard work, sweat & tears. She paid hard cash & laid on an OR table & let the surgeon do the work. I'm sure you have learned many a lesson about yourself & appreciate every ounce that has been shed off your body. Let her enjoy her beautiful tummy but when you look at yourself in the mirror I want you to stand up tall & look at yourself with pride as you have done a mighty thing!! Be proud of yourself hen82!! You rock!
