My overweight sibling has become jealous

OK OK , I get it!
No more giving her my clothes because it is making her feel bad.  I can donate them.
My heart was in the right place but I understand.  I do not discuss it much in front of her, almost not at all.  Only when my mother asks questions.  She was very nervous.  To tell you the truth I told nearly no one.   

My sister has to come around on her own terms I suppose. 

Hell I wish someone would give me clothes! 

My support is my husband who is making me feel great about myself and I have actually had moments of even feeling a little bit sexy at times- Imagine that?

I've got one comment on the childish name calling -

"I'm rubber, you're glue;  whatever you say bounces off me & sticks to you!"      

OK, I know that's not really helpful but sometimes when people are childish I just want to give it back in kind.

Just give your sister time.  She is adjusting to a new you & probably wondering if there could be a "new" her somewhere in the future.

I lost a good friend due to this...We were both overweight and after I had the surgery and started losing weight...she started acting differently. She actually said that she felt like I was in a club that she couldn't join.  We had been friends for 15 years but now we are no longer friends and I do miss her. I thought our friendship was based on more than just  our common love of food.

my friend and i both had the surgery.  we both have lost weight.. we both have the same problem with our sisters... stop giving her the clothes..it probaly makes her feel worse about her situation. yard sale them craigs list them do a swap here.. put what you want in your  mouth and just be as supportive as she allows you.  but concentrate on you right now.  surgery is just a tool so you have to use it and make the right decision.. it looks like you have with that kind of weight loss.. she will be okay and it may take a bit but she will grow into the new you and maybe even help herself.. good luck..
