I too struggle with that question.

But i know it has something to do with building up my own self worth.

There is no overnight solution.

As with alot of things, its one day at a time...

The best way to get rid of Jealousy is by appreciating what you have. Thank Hashem for all that you have. I mean it. Every single thing. Then you will realize that you have everything you need and it doesn't matter what other people posses. You can start by this:

You have a wife (i am sure she is amazing)
You have kids! (I bet they are great kids)
You have a sister!! (It really is awesome to have a sister, especially one that gets a along with your wife)

The key is gratitude.

sounds like you are "linking" your wife's disapproval with your brother-in-law's disapproval. Wealthy people in a family are incredibly draining if they are rude/aloof/disdainful.. One trick is to imagine what you would think of them if they didn't have money - you probably wouldn't pay much attention to them. Then think of very wealthy people you might know who are very friendly to you and treat you nicely.. You're not even aware that they are wealthy, and just like them for themselves. Even wealthy people can be made to feel inferior to even wealthier people.. It is a treadmill from which there is no escape. Only real wealth is good health, and no debt! Best thing would be to address what you can control - your obesity.. maybe join Weight Watchers, or read up online about it.. True - you will never be rail-thin...but maybe losing 10 lbs would make you feel better even if you had 100 more to go..
