Getting Older But Want To Be The Envy Of Your Younger Siblings Or Friends?

Posted: Apr 22, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

My Sisters Hate Me. It's hard to anticipate life's strange turns.

When one is the oldest sibling in a large family you expect to look older than everyone else.

It's especially true when some of your siblings are 16 or 17 years younger.

But in between the time I came along and my youngest sister was born, people got a lot fatter.

Guess what?

Fat people look older than people who are not fat.

The long age gap between us is evidently not working in her favor.

People notice. They think she's older.

I think it's making her hate me.

And it's not like I'm trying real hard.

I haven't had cosmetic surgery. I don't spend much on makeup. I cut and color my own hair.

And my dress clothing is the same old clothing I've been wearing for the last 30 years. All that old stuff still fits, after all. Why buy new? Styles haven't changed that much.

I didn't sell my soul to the devil, either.

But my husband and I do have a healthy lifestyle.

We have not gained much weight over our lifetime.

We get a lot of exercise compared to most people.

And we rarely eat out, ever. We hate fast food.

On our last road trip we included a cooler with chopped veggies, cheese and crackers, along with big insulated cups of homemade tea, no ice and very little sugar (1 tablespoon to 2 quarts of tea).

We eat at home all the time. We use whole grains, beans, lean protein, some healthy fats, and vegetables and fruit.

We eat very little sugar. For an occasional treat we eat homemade fudge with less sugar and more cocoa and pecans.

We take no medications except the occasional allergy pill.

We even cook all the food our dog eats. He's not fat either. He's also a big dog who is active and spry at 14. It's working for him, too.

Any one can do this. It isn't magic. But it requires that you always eat at home and cook everything you eat from fresh and whole food ingredients.

Best of all the food is really tasty.

I just wish my siblings would do the same thing. I want them to be happy and healthy. I love them, after all, even if they do hate ME!
