Omg shut up “ marriage potential “

We are about to be owned my a dictator and women are going to
Owe all rights you want her married that’s your focus ?

Your daughter is now a cow she wasn’t brought into this world to breed

She’s smart and lovely and a good human you are sick


Leave her alone those drugs have tons of side effects if her doctor recommends them fine but her mother is a dam idiot

"Your daughter is now a cow" - your quote.

We agree!
Mooooo!

Be honest, you are worried about her marriage prospects only. It's not normal to combine health and marriage prospects in the same sentence. You only added health to seem like less of an ass, but your true concerns are obvious. You don't think a man will be attracted to your fat daughter.

As someone who struggled with weight and was criticized by my mother I would advice you to keep your thoughts to yourself of you want her to continue visiting. My mom has been dead for eight years and I still struggle with the effect that the weight criticism had on my self esteem. It is not useful and will make her resent you. Only criticize her body if you wish to not see her.


Why do you assume OP is a mother

Don’t bring it up.

She has eyes, and a doctor.

Get your priorities straight.

Love your child.

Same advice applies for a father

And actually it is worth if it is a father because your daughter is likely to go out and f-- any loser that accepte her after she gets rejected by dad for being too fat. Then she will be staying at your house with said loser's offspring.

OP, what do you think she will change about her life if you bring this up? Honest question.

She may not wish to risk blindness?


That is very rare and it seems to happen primarily in people that are diabetic. The data is also not conclusive that GLP-1s are causing the blindness. Obesity is a known risk factor for cancer, heart disease, kidney failure, stroke, blindness and it increases the risk of all cause mortality. Decent data on GLP-1s indicates that they can reduce all-cause mortality by 10-15% in people that are obese or have diabetes.

Is she seeing a doctor for yearly well-checks? These are normal things for mothers to be concerned about. Is she young and new to working full time? Ask if there’s anything you can do to help her with this transition to being 100% self supporting. A meal delivery service? A gym membership to try fun classes and meet new people? Tell her you love her and you’re trying to figure out how to mother an adult.


This is absolutely not useful because she will just hear that you don't accept her because of her weight. It absolutely does not help an overweight person to complain to them about their weight and instead breeds resentment of the person doing the criticizing.

I'm 5'7" and have been 125lbs and 180lbs as an adult. My parents act so grossed out now that I'm heavier. Especially my dad. My mom just acts weird about it.

I don't see them much anymore. Like 1-2 times a year. When I'm a bit lower weight my mom gushes about how good I look. They know I was sexually assaulted by a partner and that for a time I've just wanted to be getting a lot less male attention.

If you can afford to do so and she is interested, pay for her ozempic.

Agree. If you can't help pay, even just mentioning to your daughter that prices have gone down might be helpful. Everyone's head of GLP-1's, sure, but not everyone is aware of current prices.
