Yesterday, I watched my sister in law graduate. One of the things I love about my sisters in law is how we treat each other. SkinnyHusband's siblings are amazing. Our life together would be incomplete without them. I think of them as my own siblings.
SkinnySister worked very hard to graduate with honors in 4 years, working multiple jobs to support herself, volunteering, juggling a social life, a relationship, and balancing her diet/exercise.
The last part is really important to me. I use to envy SkinnySister because it seemed so easy to her. She was pretty and smart and could do things she wanted. After a few years of being in college, she gained a little. Not a lot really but she was larger than she felt comfortable being. She started eating right and exercising more. SkinnySister and I are the same height and she's the "perfect weight" for her height. I doubt I'll ever be as small as her but our next photo, I will be closer in size than I am now...
SkinnySister and BabySister are in this photo with me. I look like a ginormous pig next to them but I decided to post this photo because I there's no need to hide.
Even though it seemed very easy for her to lose the weight she needed, it took a lot of hard work and dedication and it wasn't easy. She had to replace foods that she loved with healthier options and remained dedicated.
This week, my goal is to increase output like SkinnySister. I want to try to walk in the morning and get back into that habit. I like to walk. I have no excuse. One day, I hope to do yoga with SkinnySister or softball with BabySister without fearing embarrassment.
