My sister is annoying. Can anything be done?

[Anonymous]

When you lose weight you get lots of attention and comments. You also get lots of nice new clothes and you feel great. Then everyone forgets and you still desire attention

Get ahead of it. Plan for her to be cold. Get an electric throw blanket, fuzzy hat, gloves and make a seat for her on the couch away from everyone. Do not turn up the heat. Direct her there when she’s cold.

If she’s cold she needs to wear more clothing. It’s really not that hard.

Buy her a Snuggie or a Slanket, or a heated vest.

And I agree that if she is so cold she can't get warm, she needs to see a doctor.

PP with the heated vest again. Get her one of those! When I sit for too long in front of my computer, I get cold no matter how many wool and cashmere layers I have. I need an external source of heat, aside from resorting to jumping jacks.
The one I have is a brand called Venusta, bought on Amazon.

Hopefully once it’s not new weight loss she’ll stop saying it and get used to bringing extra layers with her everywhere. If this is the most annoying thing about your sister count yourself lucky.

You do sound jealous. Have you given her the accolades she deserves for losing the weight?

Some people tend to tell you EVERYTHING about their new diet. Why it’s so easy, the recipes they enjoy, food substitutions, their exercise plan (a daily walk), etc. After awhile, it’s a lot, mainly because it monopolizes most conversations. I compare it to a reformed smoker. Hopefully, time will help.

For me personally, I don't necessarily bring it up all the time but people are constantly commenting on my body. I can't go into too much detail without outing myself because of a fairly uncommon set of circumstances. I walk 2-3 hours a day and I'm so tired of people bringing up my weight or body shape constantly.

Please do this.

Ha! I was waiting for this idiotically predictable response, and it only took five replies to get here.

And no, I’m not, nor have I ever been overweight, so don’t bother being predictable again.

HAHAHAHAHA.

It is still fairly new. She will calm down in a bit, eventually. Get her some cuddle duds.

Definitely ask her if she's seen a doctor about this. If weight loss makes people healthier, why are they so uncomfortable?

Remind her before your next get-together that she seems to be cold all the time and you expect her to dress appropriately because you all want to have a conversation, not listen to her complain.

Is she anemic? Is she on an overly restrictive diet? It is possible that she really is uncomfortable. If she’s waking cold or is cold and can’t get warm, I would be worried.

Tell her she needs to learn to dress more appropriately in layers like you did when you lost weight. Keep a snuggie in your car so you can get it for her every time so she shuts up.
