[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You can do you, and I can do me- both are fine. But sharing a dinner table is going to make it difficult for me so it's just not the best match.  And that's okay.  APs screen for the same. Weight is a lifestyle issue and people with compatible lifestyles are more likely to get along.  [/quote]

So if I have an extra scoop of mashed potatoes and am a size 12 instead of a 6 we can't get along?[/quote]

We can.  But trust me, you don't want to live with me, because I don't make enough for you to have seconds.  Not because I'm concerned about you, but because I know the limits of my ability to resist temptation.  [/quote]

I hope you are setting funds aside for your kids treatment programs for the eating disorders you are engendering. [/quote]

Just like not all overweight moms are raising their kids to be stars on my 600 pound life, not all healthy weight moms are raising future anorexics. And if you read what I posted carefully, I am not blaming overweight people for being overweight. I'm pointing out that it's largely due to social conditioning that warps perceptions of proper portions, etc.  And saying that I want to keep my perception and my kid's perception healthy.  I'm not underweight, nor are my kids.  It's not like you have to be overweight or disordered. You can be healthy and normal. [/quote]
