White parents tend to be in "fat denial" about their kids. It's all "oh hunny bunny youa re perfect the way you are" - better to just say, yeah, get on the treadmill chunkyabunka. ;-)

umm - after moving to a big city and eating out a LOT, I maybe gained about 10lbs in one year and went back home, my mom started yelling at me when I tried to hug her and I didn't quite understand why...
she left the house and came home and dragged me into the bathroom to take a pregnancy test - she was so sure that I got myself knocked up...not fat on purpose.

At least it's not the other way around. My mom says "How come you arm and leg so skinny and the middle is so fat? You too big on top, like flamingo. If I push you, I scare you fall over."

YOUR BODY IS SO BIG NOW! YOU BETTER WORK OUT OR ELSE.... *end*

I have to wonder why the asian community doesn't suffer from more body dysmorphia issues, with all these moms criticizing how fat us kids are. But maybe we do and I just don't know it. Or maybe we just let it roll off our backs, like all the other comments we get from the 'rents.

I don't think that's generally the best approach to encourage an overweight person to lose weight, but if you need to lose weight, you need to lose weight. I don't think that there is a danger of "MORE body dysmorphia issues;" I think if people were actually more conscientious about their health, i.e. don't be so fat, there would be MORE healthy persons.

The best is "YOU GETTING FAT + YOU EAT MORE, FINISH EVERYTHING" in the same sentence
