[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My one boy is a tiny stick, my other boy is average, and my girl is a bit chunky. They eat the same food. Not junk. Home cooked meals 80%.  Generics. [/quote]

And your daughter will always have to fight her weight more than her brothers. You just have to decide when to let her know, or just see if she figures it out for herself? [/quote]

My mom has been nagging my sister about her weight for decades and all it's ever done is make them both miserable.

I imagine a lot of you were raised to be miserable about food and body image and now your passing it along to your children. What a terrible way to live. [/quote]

Does anyone like being obese? Is that a good way to live?[/quote]

My sister isn't obese but thanks for making assumptions.

I suspect your anxiety around body size is probably worse than actually being overweight.[/quote]

You suspect? Boy do you sick at assumptions. This isn’t about me at all, moron. My aunt is morbidly obese and housebound. She’s miserable and hates her life. I’d hate to live like that.

All I said was that my mother spent so much of her life trying to worry about my sister's body. All the anxiety and control and shame did not change the size of her body. Spending so much energy worrying about someone else's size is just very unhealthy. I am not arguing that obesity doesn't impact People's health.

I have another relative who got weight loss surgery and it's definitely improved the quality of her life and her mobility. But That was her choice. I didn't spend any mental energy deciding what she showed or should not be doing or what she should or should not be eating [/quote]

You wanted to talk about terrible ways to live. But you are ignoring the elephant in the room, so to speak. There’s more than one way to live a terrible life.[/quote]
