I don't want to make a big deal about it or create an issue around his weight, but I was wondering if I should just drop it or press the issue. I have already tried to convince him that he would now have a goal - to lose the weight he needs to before next time he will go swimming, but that I don't think he should go topless in public until then, but I am unsure how to convince him of that.[/quote]

This is taken verbatim from the poorly selling "How to give your child an eating disorder in 3 easy steps"   Fast forward 20 years, he's on a sofa at his therapist "I put on some weight in high school and my mom was like, she was horrified by how I looked. Didn't even want to be seen with me and so you know, I've always been struggling with the weight, trying to gain her approval in some other way and of course dating women who treat me the way she did. I'm here because my wife left me and took the kids. I'm living in a studio apartment with unassembled IKEA furniture trying to figure out how to get my life together and of course how to assemble that goddamned furniture!"[/quote]
