Dress fitting drama!

So, I tried on my wedding dress after finding out tailoring my old one to fit my smaller frame was gonna cost a fortune. I was so happy seeing how my body changed, since I hadn't really noticed day to day! But my sister, who commented on my weight when I FIRST got the dress (something about a "neck roll" and being "too big"), complained I should've timed things better. She's worried I won't have it ready by October (which the seamstress said is PLENTY of time). Ugh, if she ever finds out I'm using weight loss injections... I can brush off strangers, but family jabs sting more.
 
You look absolutely radiant!!! I'm getting teary-eyed! Seriously, I'd give your sister a piece of my mind about boundaries if she were mine. She must be deeply unhappy to be so negative all the time. Block her out, and enjoy your amazing wedding! ❤️
 
I remember you posting before! Tune out your sister. She's probably envious or something.

You're looking great!
 
Growing up, my grandmother constantly made fat jokes at my cousins and me (my sister was always the favorite).

One Christmas, she told my cousin at the kids' table (we were teens) "Is that all you're eating? Go get more!" A few minutes went by, and he added a bit more to his plate to appease her. As she walked by again, she remarked, "If you eat all that, you'll get even fatter. Why do you need to eat it ALL?" All this happened in under five minutes!

That day, I realized some people just suck and their opinions don't matter. OP, learn this lesson now. You'll be much happier.
 
The hardest part of losing weight for me was realizing how "change affects everyone around you." Some people are terrified by change and panic when their old ways of putting you down are useless. It's like alcoholics in rehab often getting divorced or changing careers.
 
You look absolutely stunning!!! Your sister is toxic, and NEVER let her find out about the weight loss medication. I know it's controversial, but it's the best thing for your mental health and self-image.
 
Tell her to take a hike.

Seriously, I was about to compliment you on how great you looked. I thought the first photo was the 'after' picture. You're beautiful in both, and you deserve happiness and no nagging.

Edit: Sorry, that was harsh about your sister. But seriously, who does she think she is?
 
Maybe you need to tell her bluntly that you don't appreciate her negativity. If she can't support your progress, she should just shut her mouth.

You look fantastic, congratulations. ❤️
 
It's often difficult for people to see those close to them change because they are used to them behaving in a certain way. It's common to see family members try to sabotage progress, even unconsciously.

I'm really trying to keep it under wraps. I just know it will turn into a HUGE deal if she finds out. Like I didn't "earn" it or something ridiculous.
 
I'm down a decent amount now, but I still have cravings. I've been doing a LOT of walking and trying to make better food choices. It all adds up!
 
My grandma was the worst! When I was in high school I was always self conscious and she would make it worse. It's like they get joy from making you feel bad about yourself.
