Ht. 5'6, Wt. 185 - Hey, y'all! I have another problem. I asked my sister for help, and she is being really helpful, and we came up with a good plan, but when I was about to have one of my favorite healthy snacks that my mom suggested, plain yogurt with some of my mom's amazing homemade jam, my sister said i shouldn't and that jam was all sugar! She suggested something else, and I replied with "to tell you the truth, that doesn't really seem like it would be good" or something, and she said "because junk food is good!" (sarcastically!) I got mad at her because I NEVER eat junk food! JAM AND LOWFAT PLAIN YOGURT IS NOT JUNK FOOD! DORITOS AND FRENCH FRIES AND PIZZA ARE JUNK FOOD! I don't know what to do! We are going shopping for fruit tomorrow, which I love, but this isn't fair! She is basically telling me that I can't eat anything that tastes good unless SHE decides that it's healthy! We started today, but it's CHRISTMAS for Pete's sake! I couldn't even indulge in my fabulous holiday treats that I got! Now I feel that they'll go to waste and my sister and I will be mad at each other and I really am about to have some sort of breakdown -- I think I already did, and I am getting depressed! It's so awful, and my Christmas was not as fun as it should have been! PLEASE HELP ME I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to explain to your sister that shes hindering you, not helping you...calmly explain to her what you want her to help you with, etc. And you're right...its Christmas...so have a little fun.:)
