Parents can be very cruel.  When I started to gain weight, my mother said I would not be attracted to any boys.  When I started hear comments like that, I ended up being an emotional eater.  The more I heard, the more I ate.  It took me awhile to learn to love myself no matter what I am have become.  I am happy now about the size I am. I am happier being fat than thin.  Don't let others tell you what you should be.
