I paid her money to help with bills, and her making it was part of the deal.
Now, two days before I leave, she's finally starting it.
Completely and utterly not what I wanted.
AND
I an overwieght. I need to lose weight. So, I go and buy a bunch of healthy food; granola bars, carrots, little portions of things so I don't overeat, healthy choice dinners, lean pockets, and cereal bars.
... I told my sister it was MINE, I paid 45 bucks for all of it.
She has, so far, taken two lean pockets, and two of my cereal bars, and who knows what else.
There is nothing my mom can do but yell at her.
It changes nothing.
I'm so frustrated right now.
You don't need to eat special foods, or reduced fat crap etc. While they are more healthy, it's not required to lose weight.
Your body will simply not store more fat if there are no extra calories sitting around.
Exercise daily, eat in moderation, smaller meals more often rather then larger meals in fewer sittings.
Eat throughout the day, with your heavier meals earlier in the day, never eat after 8pm (all of the food you eat goes straight to fat at night).
Keep the food you buy that does not need refridgeration in your room. Like the ceareal bars.
Apparently there is no consiquences for your sister to do as she pleases. You might want to talk to your mom about doing something more. Because if she doesn't you will. Such as taking what you please from her to repay you back for what she stole.
I suggest that your mom could take the monatary value out of your sisters allowance, or if there is not allowance, to take away privledges like next time she asks for money to go to a movie or something. If she has her own money like a job or something then work it out with your sister. But sounds as if she is younger than you and does not understand respect or nor does it seem like she cares.
Good luck. And try what Ranar said. Don't buy special food. Eat what is in the house but less of it. And excercize more. Like I try to do something 3 times a week. Dance for an hour, garden, yard work, something not boring.
Hope it works out for you. Sisters can be the worst! I know, I have 3 of them. And I did not get along with the one closest in age to me, she is 2 years younger than me. Now that we are adults and have our own lifes and our own homes we get along much better. I'm not sure how that will help you now other than to say that it does get better, eventually.
Maybe find food that she hates?
Take care.
If you are careful about what you eat, and exercise, you will lose weight. Healthier foods will help, but they can't do all the work alone.
Losing weight just takes a bit of paying attention to what ya eat and when ya eat 
Put post-it notes, with your name on, on all the boxes. Then hold something of your sister's hostage until she buys you a replacement for what she took. It worked for me. 
*hugs Gikk* I know how hard it is to loose weight... =(
Portions that my family eat are way to huge, and I'm trying to deal in my own way.
I work, usually to somewhere areound midnight or one. Which means my lunch = after 8.
.... it's ok, tho. it's not reallyhow much you eat after 8- not like at 8 o'clock the body goes OHNOSE ALL IS FAT NOW. more like when you sleep. ^_^
Do not trust ANY promises your sister makes and dont rely on her to follow through. If you feel you must.. always have a plan B to fall back on.
Start paying your mom either some rent money or part of the bills once you are able to afford it. It gives you more say over what goes on within that house. Do the same for gas money until you have yourself set up with your car. Start paying attention to how much gas youre burning via mileage from your house to your job and back.
I know your mom is very inactive about disciplining your sister and I know this sounds mean.. but once you leave that house.. she is gonna realize all the mistakes she made in allowing Cassie to do as she pleases. I also suggest you tell your mom that this 'paying off' your sister for 'services rendered' isnt kosher. Who's car is this that Cassie is driving? If its your mom's then Cassie should put part of whatever money given towards your mom for gas expenses. Even then.. to make demands for taking you to the store isnt good at all.. You just dont do that to family and is not right.
For now, just do as Tralina suggested.. keep what you can within your room in terms of food. Yes guys, she doesnt need any special diett foods.. but at the same time, eating cheap isnt always eating healthy. The cheaper foods tend to be ramen, pasta, etc. I do agree that she should watch what she eats in terms of portions on the less healthy items. I know its about moderation and exercise as well. Bear in mind she works at Walmart. Not an easy thing and on her feet all day. She is in college.. *grin* going from class to class cross campus can be a pain as well 
I used to do the walkin (wasnt a very big campus) And I got some good walks out of it. So its not like she is inactive physically. She is actually alot more active than she used to be.
Let Cassie know that your 'little friends' are older than her.. have REAL WORLD experience.. and arent going around angsting about how depressed they are and then turning around and being an asshole to their family unprovoked. We have lives.. we have loves.. we have jobs and responsibilities. Something that she is gonna learn a hard lesson on should she ever leave home. She is gonna learn that no one else but mom and dad would ever cater to her little needs.. nor will they tolerate her attitude problems. She will be lucky if she even finds a guy that tolerates this bullshit. Its very unattractive and its a total turn off for guys to see women have constant temper tantrums. No man or woman wants to deal with living with someone that has the mentality of a 2 year old.
*gets off her soap box and grumbles*This is Synjari..
I already told you hon.. Do not let your sister have any excuse or reason to hold anything monetary over your head. Including purchases on her credit card about things that she promised to help you buy in the first place.

*grins* no.. Cassie would.. literally
Take her stuff. Use it. Eat her food. Let her feel what it's like.

Zaza had this to say about Knight Rider:
Gikky, maybe you should start returning the favor?Take her stuff. Use it. Eat her food. Let her feel what it's like.
That's no good. That'll just emphasize the fact to her sister that it's okay to use/eat her stuff since she does it to her too.
Also, how are you at cooking? Try and keep as many raw, healthy ingredients in the house with which to make your own meals. Odds are your sister won't eat those. Sounds like she just eats the more or less "ready to eat" stuff.

Both very good points, JooJoo. I sugest she buys actual groceries as well. We are seeing that her sister is too lazy to do for herself.
