My heart goes out to you. How hard it must be to be so aware of your situation, trying to improve it and have others live the extreme opposite, especially while dealing with recently being sleeved.
A few things,
1) You seem to be quite young, thank God that you did not get caught up in this for the rest of your life. You are stopping that chain , that life cycle of dysfunction. Many of us have families living in these same situations. I am 47 years old and wish I stopped abusing myself long ago with food. My father died of obesity related illnesses and all his siblings. I was right there with them for years. So give yourself some credit, you are doing something for them. Be an example. Be loving to them but make good choices for you. You can not change them, and it sounds like they don't want to change.
2) I hope you understand how this relates....
Three of my siblings died of drug related incidents. I really was bitter with them for some time, without even realizing it. I did not understand it, I was so bothered by seeing my sister wither into a shell of who she was. I was a lot younger and very impressionable. I was experimenting with things I shouldn't of been also yet I made different choices and by the grace of God had the will to stop.
My point is this...I now look at there lifestyles as a lesson to me. When they died like that it was not in vane. Do you understand? I might not always no what I want but I sure no what I don't want. I did not want to go out like that. Looking at them in this perspective, allows me to live free of that lifestyle. They showed me very well what I did not want to end up like.
Your family is actually showing you something very powerful. I know you want to save them and it hurts terribly but you can't honey.
Don't be angry with them, it will eat you up. Love you Mama while she is here. Show your sister how she can recover. Pray!!!!
-Sorry to go on and on....

First, thank you for being so transparent. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Please allow me to apologize in advance if this comes across the wrong way and I pray this doesn't sound harsh but the change in your family really isn't up to you. It sounds like you want more for them than they want for themselves. You want them to be healthy, happy, to have no weight induced illnessess, and you'd like for them to practice better eating habits. These are all wonderful things. However, they have to want it for themselves. It would be nice if love alone could fix this but there's probably more to their eating than the love of food. I pray that your successful weight loss will encourage them to make a decision to follow in your footsteps. Even if they don't decide to have a surgical procedure, eating right and exercise would be great steps to take. Here's wishing you lots of success. Chin up, be encouraged and continue to pray for your family.

Praying!

i am not sleeved yet but from reading on here you are actually one of those that are blessed with not having a sudden stall. Do not look for something wrong. Everything you pointed out sounds very positive. Sounds like God is blessing you with exactly what you need at the time, enjoy your ride. Also congrats on the downsize, soon enough those 26's will fall of even with the rope. I can not wait to be sleeved!!!!!
You are doing wonderful!!!!!

When people tend to act like that they generally act like that no matter what you do or do not choose to tell. What I mean is if you shared, you might of had a negitve reaction anyway. Obviously she is one that is put off easily.
It is not like you are sisters or forever friends, where not that it is right but her hostility would make more sense.
Pray for her and enjoy your new you! lol
