My sister/diet buddy
Jul 20 2009 09:11

My younger sister and I have always been sort of friendly competitors in life. And, we have both always had weight issues, but the difference was that my sister always cared more about her appearance than I have and seemed to be able to lose weight and maintain it better than I did.

Well, she kinda let herself go lately and admitted that this time, it seems so much harder to get motivated and to lose the extra weight...so--we have decided to be each other's weight loss coach!

We haven't formulated a plan yet, but I think we will be emailing each other a lot and that prizes will be involved...we love surprises and small token gifts can be a great motivator!

She will probably do Weight Watchers--my job will be to get her to excercise and her job will be to get me to watch portions! I weigh nearly 30 pounds more than her but we are the same size, so this will be interesting once she starts on the excercise program!  I bet she will become smaller faster than I will because diet is 75% of the battle of changing physical appearance...I have the excercise battle won but not the diet part...it will be a struggle for me so her prizes better be pretty darn good!

I look forward to this friendly competition with my sister--we have gotten a lot closer as we have gotten older, but now the stakes are higher as it is our long term health that we need to compete for--not who gets to be prom queen!
