So my sister, who's fought with her weight forever tells me she lost 45 lbs in 2 months! That's just huge....& makes me suspicious.
So I've been asking her, how did u do it? She's been vague. Says she only works out 2 or 3 times a wk, has a protein shake in the morning.
But today I really find out. She's been taking prescription diet drugs & starving herself! It's just not healthy. And her skin just hangs on her & she complains about it, but I can't say, well u lost weight too fast....& you can't stay on drugs forever.
I lost 32 lbs in a yr. actually not many noticed bec it was so slow.
But I hate talking to my sister bec all she does is brag about her new pant size...that I'll never see.
That her food intake was a can of fat free whipped cream for the day!
Sorry I don't mean to hijack this thread, but this makes me feel bad in several ways.
First I'm jealous of course. I'd like to lose that amount too.
Then I'm angry that once again she took the easy route. Last time it was major surgery for her...she was close to 300 lbs.
I'm frustrated....as I fight my own weight loss battle & try to be happy for myself when I lose 2 pounds a month.
Sorry!
But I can say there's a difference to being fit & sick skinny. Yes she likes the numbers on the scale & her size but her body has really paid the price.
I need to remember this!
Keep up the good healthy work everyone.
