[quote=Anonymous]My mom was overweight, ever since childhood, back when this was rare (she had metabolism issues). It may be hard for you to imagine how much she endured, both in childhood and as an adult. I think it's pretty much impossible to truly understand how much negativity is dumped on you daily. Even in her own marriage, my dad was physically attracted to her, but still always made disparaging comments about her weight and the weight of other people. It was horrible. This is why, I think, to counteract this tide of judgment, the movement for body positivity has to be extreme in the opposite direction. You can't just look at it without the overall cultural context. As for me, I wish my mom didn't go through what she did, but it was valuable to me to grow up with a woman I adored and thought was the most beautiful one in the world, who was also fat. I did not inherit her health problems, but I'm not thin, either, but very happy in my own skin. [/quote]
