If so, I hope she is coming to your place for Christmas and not
mine. When we have the family for dinner we have to have double
the amount of food served. She grazes along the buffet, consuming
everything along the way. The last time she was here she parked
herself next to a platter of devilled eggs and moved on when she
had finished them off, then she went to the cheese platter where
there was about 1/3 pound of each of a half dozen cheeses,
polished them off and moved on to the next item.

She once showed up at the home of her new stepsister,who was
expecting guests. By the time the guests arrived, she had eaten
all the food.

She's big.... almost 6 feet, and well over 300 lb.

Hehe. If she's a teenager, she could be one of those microscopic size
0 types. I've had male friends as well, into their 30's and 40's, who
could pack away enormous amounts of food and not show it.

Then there's the likes of me, who can be sick and unable to eat for 3
days, and gain weight.

Apparently, she *quite* big.

I'm 6'2" and built like a brick outhouse, and she's smaller than me and
weighs more than me.

Not good........ for her health, that is.

I *still* have friends of both sexes that can do that. I was at a work
party the other night and there was 2 girls there that ate enough food
they could have fed several small African villages with it. And yet they
are both quite svelte.

Back in my 30's, I could eat 24/7 and not gain anything, but I was doing
a *helluva* lot of physical work/exercise at the time.

Now, all i have to do is walk past a cake shop, take a deep sniff and
gain 2kgs instantly!!!

too late for that. She is now close to 45, and I am sure she has
been chewing and swallowing almost every waking hour since then.
Frankly, I am surprised that she isn't a hell of a lot bigger
than she is, considering how much she packs away. The ironic
thing is that her father, SiL's first husband, is VP od a major
fitness company. He is now 70 and in great shape. She has a
brother and sister who are both quite fit. All of here cousins
are slim and fit. They all have good appetites, but nothing
compared to her.

Just isn't fair is it. My oldest brother used to eat at least
twice as much as I do and he was always slim. I go to the gym at
3-4 days a week, plus a hard equestrian jumping lesson every
week, and in the nice weather I ride my bike and average of 15-20
miles per day. A hurt my leg last month and had to cut back on my
exercise and gained 8 pounds in two weeks.

How old is she and has anyone pointed out to her the rudeness of
this behavior?

I had talk with her mother about it when she called and wanted to
know why I didn't want her daughter coming to a party we were
having. Her mother knows about the problem. It was her mother
that told me about the problem with the new stepsister and why
the stepsister won't invite her to her house.
BTW.... she not only pigs out on everything in sight. She also
sneaks into the pantry and helps herself to everything in there,
open or not. I once hid a double batch of chocolate chip cookies
in the bottom back corner of a lower cabinet when she was coming
to visit. I went to get them out when she left and they were all
gone. They had been hidden from her because she was on a diet.

Food addiction.
She needs to spend 2 weeks in a rehab.

I agree. Her take on it is that the is a BBW with a lusty
appetite.
I had a had time containing myself when I heard that she had
supplemented her income by posing nude at an art school.

My sister is a large woman too, about the same weight, considerably
shorter. She would NEVER engage in such rude behavior. I guess the
phrase "hey, leave enough for the rest of our guests" doesn't phase
her? Your family has my sympathy, Dave, that's inexcusable behavior.
Is she boorish in other ways too?

She has a serious eating disorder. Her Mother should be addressing
that. In my case, both my niece and her Mother eat like that so there
is no talking to the mother. I try to plant seeds while she is here
but she doesn't *get it* - or refuses to. She ate 3 bags of chocolate
chips in a week while she was here. I went to make cookies and they
were *gone*. She's probably 5'8" and 290, easily.

That's not uncommon. We used to get models of all shapes and sizes -
that's the idea behind learning to draw different figures. If they can
hold still for 20 minutes, we wanted them. We even had this old dude
with a huge tumor on his side. Bizarre, it was.

I know people similar to that. That's why, when I have a Christmas
Party, I serve six pounds of shrimp a pound and a half at a time and
four dozen deviled eggs twelve at a time. All with a polite pause while
eyeing the offending individual who is destroying the menu. I leave the
bulk of the food in the garage until I decide when it's needed. That's a
ploy. It may not work. It has for me so far.

Some people know no limits. Those are the ones I don't invite. I don't
spend my time in the kitchen to satisfy one person's sheer gluttony.

That is the way I look at it. It's pretty bad when you have a
party for 14 people and calculate a certain amount of food, but
if you add the extra person who eats none stop you have to
literally double the amount of food. It wouldn't bee so bad if
you could just stick a bag of potato chips in her hand and let
her stuff her beak with the cheap stuff, but when she goes from
a platter of devilled eggs to a tray of cheeses to a platter of
smoked salmon and smoked eel canapés to a tray of cold cuts and
cleans out each one in succession. I haven't had her here for
years now.


I had to bite my tongue at the a party at the step niece's
house. I was out on the patio when the big niece's husband came
along asking if I knew where his lovely wife was. I said I
hadn't seen for for a while and resisted suggesting that he check
the buffet table. I glanced up and looked through the dining room
winter. Yep. There she was.
