[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1380131, member: 88961"] Oh dear. I'm sorry you're finding your sister such a challenge. If it's any consolation, when my brother and I were growing up, we fought not just like dog and cat, but like a pack of dogs and a clowder of cats. My poor parents! Please don't let this become any more than a metaphoric bump in the road. In your shoes, I'd be trying to think of something I could challenge my brother to. For instance, as you are now successfully trimming up (big congratulations on that), if she carries any spare poundage, could you challenge her to stick to a diet of her choice for, say a month? That way she might realise how managing things isn't such a breeze, and with lucky you would lose more than her! The challenge would have to be more than week though, as we both know anyone embarking on a diet loses a disproportionately large amount in the first week, but it's mainly water. I do hope you can find a way through this. (What's your total weight loss now, because I seem to recall you had made a good start on this bit a while ago?) [/QUOTE]
