Ladies, are you heavier than your mother?

Was at a social this weekend, saw four mothers and their adult daughters. All of the daughters were much heavier than their mothers. The mothers were all in their late 60s to early 70s. Funny enough, the elderly women were doing all the cooking. All of the daughters worked outside, but these older women worked when they were younger too. The older women each had had more kids than their daughters.
Not sure what has changed in families, but this was dramatic. I'm saying like 50- 100 pound difference in weight in all cases. One woman joked about it and said that her goal was to get to her moms weight. |

Yes, but also taller and different body type.

| Cancer has brought back my mother's svelte figure. Who knew it could be so easy? |

| Yes. My mother has the typical Asian body type, boyish figure and no hips. I'm curvier and taller. |

| No but I am heavier than she was at my age and she will never let me forget it. |

| No, I'm much lighter than my mom. She was, however, a truly great cook. |

| Similar body type. But I'm 31 and haven't seen her since I was 16, so not sure how much she weighs. |

| No way. My mom was even a heavy bride (size 10 at 20 years old). She was obese, but now is a size 16-18. I've always been a size 2 and it's been a hard fought battle. We have totally different body types too. I'm petite like my dad and mom is taller and bigger boned. |

| Mom smokes and takes prescription drugs to maintain her trim figure. Just like Jackie Kennedy. |

No, I'm petite and slightly smaller than my mom.
Daughters heavier (and uglier) than their mothers is ubiquitous. |

| Yes but she obsesses over every. single. thing. that she puts in her mouth and I can't imagine living like that. |
