[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, shrug it off.  These are miserable people.  Better "fat" and happy than like them.[/quote]

I'm really sorry, OP.  I will tell you that as a "fat mom" (about 50 lbs overweight as well) who had a "hot mom" I worry about my own daughter and whether she was be embarrassed because I don't look like the other moms or whatever.  But I also work (unlike a lot of the active moms in her class) and I'm older than most of them, so fat is kind of the tip of the iceberg.

It's hard.  I didn't go to a big 3 but I did go to a local elite private and the women I graduated with who all send their kids there now are primarily shallow, thin, and the heels and makeup at dropoff types.  They are also completely out of my socio-economic sphere and I'm ok with that, because the majority of them are shallow people.  This is of course one data point, but as someone who knows those people well, I personally understand exactly how they make you feel and also what many of them are like.

Fuck them all.  Love yourself.  Love your child and teach her/him good values.  It's hard to break into the social circle, I know, but volunteer there and build your own village.  *hugs*[/quote]
