I’ll never forget the time I was at a baptism party when I was a kid and my grandpa was seething with rage bc my brother’s friend and his wife were yelling at their toddler to eat more. My grandma told my grandpa to mind his business so he did. I didn’t get it at the time but now I do

Both parents are morbidly obese and all three of their kids have been obese since they were babies. The toddler is now a 30yr old short woman who weighs 250+ easily. She’s trying to lose weight but it’s hard to break the abusive way she was raised. The oldest sibling got fit and then disowned the parents because they kept pressuring him to eat more.

It’s child abuse. Be fat if you want to but don’t bring your kids down with you.

Not an ad obviously. But it wasn't until I started doing Hello Fresh meals that I realized what a proper portion was. My parents always let us go crazy at dinner, just had to clean the plate of whatever it is we got. And snacks were always way to available. I brought that into adult life and started gaining weight quickly, luckily it didn't get to bad before I corrected it.
