Drama in North Carolina.

Greetings from North Carolina, I'm having such a great time on my vacation. I don't wanna come home. Everything is going great! The family was completely in shock when they saw me, cause last year when I was out here I was at my heaviest. They all are really excited for me. Except for one... My sister in law, the one that I was initially worried about. Now I didn't tell anyof them that I had surgery. Jesse and I talked about it and he said it was my decision and that if I didn't want to tell them that I didn't have to. Well judging by her reaction to my weightloss there is no way she would of handled it. She called me anorexic when she saw me for the first time. She is being really mean about it and now is telling everybody that I am over confident and she thinks that I'm going to steal her husband, who just happens to be Jesse's brother. Well the fact of the matter is I don't really care for him that much - he is mean and a controlling obsessive dominating man. But the funny thing is when he saw me and I showed him my muscles in my arms he said he wished she would get on track... I was happy he was proud of me but I'm sure that comment pissed her off. Her attitude is making everyone uncomfortable. I have half a mind to tell her off before I leave. She has been the only black cloud on this vacation. All of Jesse's sisters are on my side about it and they even told her that there is no way I'm going after her man but she won't listen. She even told people that she saw us holding hands. She also said that I'm showing off too much by the way I'm dressing. And when she realized I weigh 10 lbs less than her she just about had a fit. I just don't get it. Oh well, enough of that rant. Tomorrow about 25 of us are heading down to the Wet and Wild Water park for the weekend. It's gonna be so much fun! I can't wait to hit those water slides. I have gone swim suit shopping crazy and now have 3 and actually want a 4th! I miss you guys... Dana

Dana.... Sorry your SIL is being such a PITA!!!!!!! I hope you have fun at the water park!!! Susan

It sounds like SIL is a little jealous because you are so HOT now!! Have fun and ignore the witch. We miss you too! Kay

Dana, Wow, that sounds like a classic case of jealousy stemming from low self esteem. You have everyone else agreeing with you which tells you something about her. Just be glad you don't have to live there and deal with her everyday like they probably do! Unfortunately, there seems to always be someone in the group that will try to bring you down or cause problems. The best thing is to completely avoid her comments and not let her ruin your time there, just smile at her and enjoy yourself. You look great! Have a great time at the waterpark!!! Karen S.

Your sister-in-law = the little green monster.... She is jealous, but she'll get over it..Don't let her remove any of your feelings of accomplishment....Have fun..

Your SIL issues are obviously a problem, but don't let them bring you down. I know, easier said than done... but, she doesn't really have issue with you, she has issues with herself and is projecting them onto you. Ignore her. You know you are not going to cheat w/ her hubby. You know this is the best thing for your health. You know that no matter what snide remark she says, you are still a strong, healthy, beautiful person and you do not need to change that for anyone (including her). Nor should you have to feel bad because of it. HAVE FUN! Don't let her issues become yours. And buy another suit, you deserve it Take Care, Mary

Hey there Dana! I am glad you are able to have fun despite what sounds like a mean-spirited, jealous, witch of a SIL! Maybe you should focus on just feeling sorry for her as she sounds miserable. Pity is easier to deal with than anger. Have a great time at the water park!! I am jealous...it is so HOT back here in Cali! Hugs, Beth

Ignore your sister in law, obviously she has her own issues to deal with. Glad your having a good time. Have fun at the water park. Karla

Hey Dana~ Just let your SIL comments roll off your back...excuse it as jealousy. In a perfect world everyone would be happy for us, but that's never going to happen. I haven't had any rude remarks yet but I can tell which people really care less and put on a fake smile when they talk to me. But, I didn't have this surgery for them, it was for me. So my philosophy....screw 'em. Love ya, Dawn

There always has to be a wet blanket in every crowd. Ignore her she is not that important in the scheme of things. I guess I would just have to be mean about the husband b**ls**t. You know something like, "You know honey, if I wanted him, I could have him. But you're safe, I don't want him." How's that for confident. But that is just the nasty streak in me. Enjoy the rest of your vacation, and it is wonderful to hear from you. Hazel
