[quote=Anonymous]Wow. A lot of you are giving OP a hard time with a concern she had - it's a valid one. She is not fatphobic - she's just concerned at the amount of weight put on in such a short period of time.

I'd like to think I'm close enough to my kids to at least voice the concern - in a nonjudgmental way. She can literally say "I know you're an adult and you can manage on your own, but I'm your mom and I wanted to discuss my concern. You've gained a lot of weight in a short period of time - are you stressed out? Can I help you with anything? Is it a concern for you? I love you and want you to be healthy and I know it's awkward but I wanted you to know that I'm here if you need me." and then open the convo.

Do you ppl not have conversations with your kids when they turn into adults? You can talk to them you know. Just because they're adults doesn't mean that all convos are off the table and if there's anyone that you should feel comfortable being open with awkward topics it should be your family if it's not a toxic unhealthy environment.[/quote]
