Does my sister has an body image issue?

Anonymous

Ok. My sister is 55 years old and she had always had suffered from image issues. When we both young sure wwe both were not thin but I never was complexed about my body, my sister did and still has those issues. Of course who won't want to have a good physical body, thin, flat abs, even mysef but I dont have an image complex. My sister when she was lets say younger she got herlsef in different diet programs she for sure lost weight but then she gain those pounds she lost in the long run. She married for the second tiem and her complex still joined her with her hubbie. Her hubbie was not super thin either but not superfat. So they both as far as I remember got themselves in like 3 different diet programs (waste of money) in a course of maybe 5 years. They sure lost weight but then left the diet plans and gain back because my sister and her husband loves to be socially active, eating out with friends and family often or during the weekends.

Then like maybe 8 years ago they both one more time enroll in a diet plan that according to them had been the only one it had really work: KETO. When they both started that program they looked really skinny after one month after, they look sick as they were very strict to the plan. They both had been on KETO like 3 times also, as they like otehr plans, the finish the 3 month program and gain back. Anyway my brotehr in law is more flexible now in what he eats but always he does nto eat that much sugar and carbs he does eat but not a lot. My sister on the other hand she is strict and also she exercises but as you age your metabolism is slow and your body cannot look the same as when you were a teenager. My sister is not super fit now or have flat abs or hard muscles but still she seems to continue to have a body image complex. SHe believes im thinner than her and let me tell you I follow no diet and I exercise but I dont have a knock out body eitehr, I have my flabby belly no flat abs.

Anyway, now since my sister says she still following the KETO diet, she does not consume any type of sugar that means, (no sweets of any kind, my sister always had a sweet tooth and I believe she still has it only she does not want to acknowledge that when she is in the mood of something sweet she says "I can't eat sugar for KETO but I know she is dying to eat somethign sweet) she does not eat carbs either. Anyway now each time my sister attends family gatherings and tehre is sweet involved

(like ice cream, cake, pastry, etc) she does not eat any of that. I mean she brings her own KETO food to the gathering becuse she won't eat what it is served or what other people bring. For me that is being disrespectful only ebcause she is following some "diet". This coming Sunday is our mom bday and there will cake and pastry and she wotn eat anything of what other will people cooperate, just becuse she does not eat sugar. She will cooperate by ordering the cake but she won't eat any sweet.
