Ok so going back to this thread, I've definitely gained some weight in the past few weeks. Not a significant amount, and I'm not obese or overweight, but still. Last night my mother, in the fashion of all Russian Jewish mothers, decides to start nagging me about my weight, solely for the purpose of helping me, of course. She's yapping on and on about how dangerous it is for me with my history of heart disease, how no man will want to marry me (seriously), how I need to go on like a billion diets and whatnot. Which is very nice and all except that my mother is about 6 dress sizes bigger than I am. After she finishes up her spiel I ask her why doesn't she do all of the things that she suggests I do like going to the gym or dieting and she gets mad at me. It's really hard for me to keep a straight face when a person who's significantly larger than I am tells me I'm fat.
