[quote=Anonymous]I'd be more worried about her personality shift. Maybe she is depressed. I don't think OP mentioned how long the weight gain took- 75 lbs (if that's accurate) over 10 years is a lot but not incrementally.

Now if there was a history of her being a size 0 to 'land a man' and that's something that's encouraged by the familial dynamic/OP, then that's an issue. It just means she got back to where her body wants or needs to be after starving. Lots of women engage in this practice across generations. And if that's where you derive your value, then gaining weight is in essence throwing away your currency - which would scare the sh!t out of the Mom. I had a (female) friend whose Mom continued smoking well into the years that we knew it was terrible for you just to avoid getting fat. It doesn't seem to adversely impact my friend, from what I can tell. She's always been about the same size. The brother now has an overweight (very pretty) wife, and it makes me smile every time I see her picture, because it tells me that the cycle has been broken. [/quote]
