My sister quit being a vegetarian because it made her fat(ter) I've spoken about my sister a couple times on here but this one really takes the cake. My oldest sister is a vegetarian like me. She's actually the reason I became one. We're both thin, she's an absolute knockout at 36 and with three kids. Then there's my other sister... the middle one. She's still much older (they're actually my half sisters). Several months ago she "decided" she wanted to be a vegetarian (I had already been one for well over a year). I already knew it wouldn't last but I was supportive. She's always been pudgy at 4'11 and roughly 130 lbs (a generous estimate). I remember she tried to brag about it and I brought up that I was 125 (on my worst day) at 5'4. Anyway, she acted like she did it "for the animals" and all that. Again, I bit my tongue. While I was talking to my mom on the phone she mentioned my sister told her that she went back to meat because she stepped on the scale at 149 pounds! (Bmi 30.1). My mom and I had a good laugh. We both knew that she thought it would be a quick fix to make her skinny like me and my other sister. What a fail. I don't know how she thinks introducing meat back into her diet will make her lose that weight. I just can't believe her sometimes. BONUS: I heard she's just going to try and give up sugar/carbs, because the person who has no self-control is going to be able to stay away from sugar/carbs. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT
