staying with my little brother for the past 10 months as our house gets work done has really opened my eyes to how much hes grown up, the problem is his girlfriend.
my brother is 25 heavy set, sz xl always has been but he hates it and has joined a gym, eating really healthily and is doing something about it, his girlfriend is 20 yrs old and a size 22. they see each other twice a week andf every time she stays over here she will bring a bag full of sweets,cakes,chocolate literally not joking at least 3 huge bars of galaxy,dairy milk, jelly sweets and family packs of crisps if she can fill it in an asda bag she will bring it.its kind of a joke that we know when shes coming cos the sugar levels in the house triple overnight. along with this they usually get takeout, kfc, pizza or mostly chippy meals. everything really that he avoids at all other times and sneers if he sees us with a meal from the chippy on the blue moon when we can afford it!
last night though she took the piss, myself and dp have flu, been off work since tues and in bed for most part, she turns up from being out with friends at midnight, starts singing to herself, hear bro tell her to stop and go to sleep (the walls here are paper thin which makes it worse), they then get up at half 2 and go out, i think hes taken her home, got up to get a beechams while i was awake, no they then come in with a massive mcdonalds meal for her, they had actually drove to the all night 1 which is a good 20 mins away..... i let it go but think to myself god she has a problem.
just been out to put something in the bin, he had been clearing his room out so everything in their was his apart from a bin bag i put in on tuesday, i would take a picture and post it if i could but it is brimming with chocolate wrappers, cake boxes, crisp packets, just a heart attack in a bin really, i was sooo shocked that he had helped her consume sooo much food, he has heart trouble himself so id of thought he wouldnt want to do more damage.
When hes on his own he is a saint for eating healthy its only when she turns up, its making me mad actually that hes allowing her to do it, but what do i do sit back and watch him die of a heart attack or say something, if so im not stupid i know it will cause an arguement but seriously isnt getting up at 2 to go and get a meal a bit too much?
