Halloween part two
November 29th 2006 01:29
The party was great. I ended up dressing up as the Fairy Godmother from Shrek 2 - my sister was Princess Fiona, and she did a damn good job of it too. We really went all out with this one, and we were all hyped up until we got there. We pulled up at my friend’s house at the same time as two other cars, so we decided to wait and see their costumes before we got out of the car. Oh my god……………..they did not have costumes on! We were cracking up, how typical, the one night we can actually go out together and we were about to be humiliated.
After fifteen minutes in the car, we decided to brave it and just go in. Once we got in the house there were other people dressed up, and even one guy had his face painted, yay! We had a great night; I got very drunk very quickly and feel fine today. Of course that is partly due to my pancake and milkshake “morning after breakfast regime”.
During our childhood my sister and I were both quite thin. Then when high school hit, my sister, who wasn’t interested in sport at all, gained a small amount of weight. It was more puppy fat than anything. I still feel guilty that I used to pick on her and call her “fat”, but what are big sisters’ for right, and she was never an angel. Anyway, she wasn’t fat; in fact I would love to be the size that she was when I called her that. She was probably less than my goal weight of 69kgs.
Whilst she was in year twelve she met her Husband, Tom, they fell deeply in love and were engaged within months. A few months later she was pregnant (all she ever wanted was to be a mother). She, like me, gained a lot of weight during her pregnancy; she started at 70kgs and gave birth to a boy in March 1999, she weighed 92kgs, a gain of 22kgs. She was shocked at the small amount of weight lost straight after the birth and she really didn’t lose any more until she got pregnant again nine months later, this time she actually lost weight during the pregnancy. I suppose this was due to the exercise involved with the toddler and also the lack of time to eat. She also credits her weight loss to her intense cravings for strawberries and lots of water intake over summer. After her daughter was born in August 2000, she weighed 86kgs.
Like me, she has been dieting on and off since then. But what really made me realise that I was extremely overweight, was when Logan was ten months old and I was being fitted for my wedding dress. My sister was also being measured up for her bridesmaid dress and all of her measurements were less than mine. I couldn’t believe it, I had always considered myself to be the skinnier sister (I use that word loosely, see the wedding pictures). Since then I have always compared our weights and would love to catch up to her soon!!!!! She is about 7cms shorter than me so I don’t have to be her weight exactly. The problem is that lately she is losing weight as fast as I am. She currently weighs 81kgs.
This just gives me even more motivation because I don’t want to be the fat sister at our brother’s wedding. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want her to be either, I think it would be great if we both looked stunning!
