[quote=Anonymous]My mom put me on a diet when I was two.  Obviously I don't remember it, but she talks about it all the time.  She was pregnant with my sister and couldn't eat and we went on a vacation and I would eat my plate and her plate(she couldn't eat due to being sick...) and all the waiters were so pleased and kept giving me more and free food, and she had to stop that and for the next few years put me on a diet. I am in mid 40s, she still talks about it, non stop.  I was a chubby kid, but ate healthy, sister was rail thin and I had to listen to how pretty she is and how "healthy" I am.  This was in the old country. At 15 I lost 10 some lbs and grew and then I was rail thin myself. Then she started with why am I not eating bread now and drinking more milk.  There was never pleasing her. Lucky for me, my grandmother who lived with us, cooked and would cook for me, since I really appreciate good food and love it.  I learned from her that food is to be enjoyed. But, there is an influence still from my mom and her comments, I weight 120lbs now, last 15 were gained in the last couple of years as I have bad fatigue and need to eat or can't have enough energy. I think I am fat now. I am over 5'4".  So yeah, messed me up in some ways permanently.[/quote]
