[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I may be a dissenting voice here, but I disagree with the stigma about fat "shaming". I do think people should tell fat people they ARE fat, at least if they are family or friends. (Don't tell a stranger because you don't know them or whether they have a medical issue.)

The mom could have been nicer, but what she said is good advice.

Yes, I understand that the OP is nursing, but 3 processed waffles isn't healthy for anyone. If she eats the SAD laden with sugar, then that's the reason she's always hungry.  Sugar is addictive - it's actually quite ironic that the people who constantly experience hunger are usually (fat) people who eat way too much sugar.

OP should have eaten eggs instead, or even bacon.[/quote]

Well, duh.  You really think that fat people are so stupid that they don't understand very basic things about simple carbs?  Maybe she was sick of eating lean protein all the time maybe she wanted a waffle (or 3) for once.  The woman was on VACATION for goodness sake. Give her a break.

Mom could have said - "Hey, please don't eat those I'm saving them for the kids".  Instead, she chose to lecture Op about her weight which was out of line, intrusive and just plain rude.[/quote]

Even if that were right, how about OPs mom say, "you know what, honey, I'd love to make you some eggs and get you some protein. I know you must be tired with the baby and nursing and sleep deprivation. How would you like your eggs?" Or best yet, butt out and let OP do her thing while on vacation and while dealing with an infant. I'd like to kick OPs mother in the keister![/quote]
