[quote=Anonymous]My mother told me I should have gastric bypass because my weight is out of control.  I run 5K's every weekend, am losing weight safely through a medical program and in combination with therapy.  I'm doing fine.  On the other hand, my mother has a severely restricted diet that at one point consisted of two packages of M and M's per day and nothing else.  Lots of thin people and fat people are extremely irrational about their weight, have weird little rituals, strange beliefs and body image issues.

One thing I have learned is that being thin doesn't automatically give you the right to be a diet expert or to tell others what is wrong with them or how to fix it.  You likely have just as much weird baggage about your weight as the fat people do and you are probably also operating from a place of psychological weirdness based on unexamined issues and experiences from your childhood and adult life.

I'm starting to wonder if anyone has a healthy relationship with food and healthy body image.  Spend a lot of time at a crossfit gym and I think different groups might just have different types of hang ups about their bodies and food.[/quote]
