[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is their weight OP?

My mother has struggled with weight her whole life and she is like this.  She pretends she doesn't eat and loves to tell you all about it.  Clearly she eats.

Nice thought that the younger generation doesn't have these issues.  I think that is delusional.  I have female friends where it is clear food dominates their thinking and life.  I can't stand the constant running commentary on eating from some women...I shouldn't eat this, what are you having, I can't believe I ate that, I ate a piece of chocolate cake at lunch (aren't you living on the edge), you have to try this (no I don't stop pushing food on me that you want to eat).  It's all boring.  Stop talking about food.[/quote]

I think they're in the overweight category (apparently both their doctors have told them to get their weight down) but they're not obese or anything.

And yes, the constant talk about food... I actually didn't notice it at first, but after I realized that we spent a whole hour talking about food at meals, I started to realize how constant and repetitive it was, and then it became unbearable to me. At one point I lost my cool, and I said, "Can we talk about something other than food today?" Which was proceeded by a very silent meal.  I've since learned to use a bit more tact and just change the subject  :lol: [/quote]
