[quote=Anonymous]My mom and her mom struggled with their weight, I remember going to WW with them for weigh-ins when I was younger.  They never really restricted me or anything, just always reminded me that "I don't want to look like them" which is sad that they felt that way but didn't adversely effect me (I don't think).  I am not as thin as I could be (like 10 pounds too much) but that's more due to my own laziness.

I have friends, a brother/sister pair, whose mother had them on the cabbage soup diet by age 8 (I am not sure if that's when the older or younger of them was 8, I'm afraid to ask.)  Both struggle with weight and are obese, and have both been morbidly so over the years (the guy was semi-recently diagnosed diabetic and has dropped some weight.)

We went to Guadeloupe last year for my birthday and I spent half of the week sick with a stomach bug that had me throwing up for 2 days straight... their mother, when she heard, said "Oh, but I bet you looked great in your bathing suit the rest of the week!"  We are all in our 40s-50s.  wtf.[/quote]
