My FIL is over 300 pounds but thinks ancillary medical problems are to blame for his ill health, not his obesity. There's denial at both ends of the spectrum. |

I'm a guy, so take this for what you will.
Don't talk about her weight/size. That is merely one of a number of symptoms here. Unfortunately, it may be that her mother and husband see her dress size as her primary qualification for being loved. See if you can have a conversation with her that somehow avoids her weight and how physically attractive she is to her husband. There's something else going in her life and she may need some help. Unfortunately for the OP, I think this is a matter between her daughter and her husband. |
This is reality talking. We can have our ideals but it really comes down to this. |
+1 Troll Patrol. If not, enjoy being cheated on and eventually divorced for a younger hottie. |
$20 says PP is actually a dude. |
Wow, that's a really elaborate story for a troll. |
| If my mom ever suggested my weight gain was hurting my marriage I would want to strangle her. If you have said this before I am surprised your daughter still talks to you about her life at all (assuming she does). |

Wow a lot of fatties on this thread.
OP your concern is completely valid. It looks like your son in law is offering a lot and your daughter little in terms personality, appearance or professional success. I am just not sure whether there is anything you can do about it. These things tend to follow positive feedback so the worse off one is the worse it gets. hopefully your daughter will be able to break the cycle. |
| My mom told me I looked fat when I was pregnant with twins. Bitch! |

OP, my suggestion to you is one you surely will not take. Shut up.
You admit she objects to your "hints" and they don't help. So stop them. OP, you are so shallow. You think about surface stuff like weight and cruises. You have no idea what is going on in your daughter's marriage. You seem remarkably unconcerned with whether your daughter is happy or not. Your focus seems to be on her appearance so that she can retain her access to material things. Are you her pimp? Seriously, back the hell off. If you think that your daughter is depressed and/or mentally ill then sure, talk to her and or her DH about your concerns. But other than that she is an adult and you should be loving her unconditionally. I doubt you'd appreciate it if she could diagnose all the problems in your life and start giving you unwelcome hints about the changes you should make. |
A 4 to a 16 is probably more like 40 lbs right? OP's daughter started two sizes smaller and is now one larger, which is where 65-75 lbs comes from. |
So much BS in this little tale. Especially that this "catch" married you and now you're the SAHM. Can't turn a ho into a housewife. |
Poor kids... you have an affair with their dad, knowing he is married with young kids. You provoke the wife and claim she treated you badly as an excuse to have the affair. You encourage him to get a divorce, which he does. You then take her kids, her home, her husband and her life, becoming her and are bragging about it. How terrible for those kids to lose their family, more importantly their mom. |
Sadly, she claims to be a SAHM to her step kids and not to her children..... if he cheats with her, what is she going to do when he cheats on her? |
| That's a troll. Why would OP get custody? BS |
