Re: Just need to vent about my sister.....

How tall is she? 213 pounds is actually not that huge depending on how tall a person is.

Is she educated about health? Is she depressed? Is she stressed? Are you truly supportive or are you contributing to her poor self esteem? Fighting tooth and nail to get her to eat a peach doesn't sound supportive to me, I honestly feel like you are watching everything she puts in her mouth, and if she's not an idiot, she's probably picking up on that.

A lot of 19 year olds eat poorly, school is stressful and it's often easier to eat quick over healthy. It's also the age where people really experiment with eating how they want (away from parents) and are still young enough that the bad food make them gain, but it won't actively hurt their body like it does when you're old.

I say leave her be for the most part, try helping her build her self esteem. When you're around try doing physical and fun activities with her (emphasis on the fun, don't just try to force her to go for a run.) If you suspect she's depressed or stressed, talk to her about it.

People with low self esteem do not do good things for themselves, so you really need to tread carefully with this. Add to the fact that you're thin and her sister there is a high probability that you could come off condescending if you're not careful.

And again, please, please do not monitor what she eats. She probably should eat healthier but SHE is the one who needs to monitor it, not you. And remember there is no harm in having a bad snack every once in a while.
