When I got married 10 years ago, I was a size 5. My to be motherinlaw said to my fiancee, "look at her mother--that's what she'll look like later on." well, I am starting to look like my fat lovable mother. I am now 50+ pounds heavier (a size 12) and my inlaws treat me like a 2nd class citizen and are constantly telling me about weight loss ideas and the like. very hurtful. my best friend is 350 pounds, very successful as a therapist, happily married, with 2 beautiful kids. Being discriminated against fat people is allowed in our society and it shouldn't be.
