[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't think she knows? You think nobody's ever made fun of her for having a fat mom, or the clothes you wear or how they fit you? You think she's never seen you hesitate before you sit down in a delicate-looking chair? You think she's never noticed you heave your body up from a sitting position?

This is all obvious. She doesn't need to be told.[/quote]

Gosh, you are cruel.[/quote]

No, I'm the child of an obese mom and dealt with all these things. I pushed my mom's fatness aside to buckle her into her seatbelt. I helped her shop for clothes because she was too embarrassed to tell salespeople she was a 26/28. I got made fun of all the time for having a fat mom. I felt my face go red when my friend giggled watching my mother rock back and forth to get the momentum to heave herself up from the couch. I went through all of this and a lot more. [/quote]

There is a big difference between 14-18 size and size 26/28. Both are likely considered obese but there is a large amount of range in weight/body fat/mobility/etc between those two sizes. [/quote]
