Suppose it’s worth a shot next time she’s over here. I think she’ll catch on to what I’m trying to do though. Usually her visits are e just going out to dinner, possible movie or just watching tv in my room, not doing much.
Also, you are advocating for the OP to be confronting her sister about her weight. I have a different opinion. That's all.
Yes, we all have our opinions and if NOT walking in the person's shoes, we can only give what we think might/could work. To watch a loved one get out of control with weight, I just don't know. I've never had that issue in my close family, wish my grandson would eat more, he's too thin in my eyes but he's a very picky eater and very very active.
My grandgirl on her own chose to become vegan...and she does a lot of physical work and does not put much junk in her body...
I'll provide a little more background. Since our parents both work, there were plenty of nights where dinner was just “ eat what you can find” and she opted for the more high calorie stuff. I didn’t care enough to step in. Obviously it’s taken it’s toll now

She's still very young, and teenagers aren't known for making the most forward thinking choices. I just had lunch with a friend and her 14 year old niece, who basically picked at her sandwich and ate all of her fries and a regular Coke. Maybe your parents didn't set a very good example, but healthwise, your sister can still make positive changes that will have a huge effect. It also sounds like you're not making the best choices, but it doesn't mean you're not unhealthy just because you're not fat.
And I’ll be honest, I didn’t always set the best “ food example” for her. I wasn’t “Mr. Salad and a glass of Water”, but I worked out and kept the weight down as I got older and I just don’t want her to not learn from me
And she’s not had a personality change or anything, she’s still happy like always, obviously I’m not privy to how she is day to day but I’ve yet to see her sad about her weight or bummed out about it
