[quote=Anonymous]Here is my experience OP and I am sure I will be trashed for it.

I grew up in Europe where women are usually a bit smaller than the average American woman. I have always been slim and both my parents don’t have issues with weight. I have always done sports and ate very healthy. Around 12 I started gaining weight. I was never fat (fat from it), but I put on enough weight for my parents to notice and be concerned. They were really worried and started putting me on a scale every day. My mom has always been beautiful and thin and she was my role model. 
All of this did not have a negative impact in my life. I lost the weight I had gained within a summer and realized I could not eat everything I wanted anymore. Looking good (and being healthy) is very important to me and I think it helped me a lot being confident and happy (not the only reasons I am happy of course).

I have several friends in the US that are overweight and they ALL hated and it HS impacted their lives tremendously.
Yes, I think looking good is important (not as important as being happy and healthy of course, but still important).

I am very thankful that my parents addressed the issue at the time because I see how many adults struggle with their weight.

If I were you, I would say something[/quote]
