>>76268623 (OP)>canadianA lot is family mentality. I used to be a fat kid. I didn't choose to be fat. My parents are fat. Told me crazy shit like "were just big boned". Mom always told me to eat 2-3 plates at every meal or I would starve and would shame me if I said I was full.
Fast forward to highschool and a few good dudes who gave a shit got me to start counting calories, eating better and working out about 5x a week. I dropped weight like crazy over about 6 months (70 pounds).
What's crazy is when I was doing all this in my teens my parents tried to do everything to sabotage it. Shame me for going to the gym, even told me they felt I had an eating disorder. 25 years later they are still fat. They literally eat salad with blocks of cheese and dressing on it and think its healthy cause its a salad.
In North America I notice if you eat out in public or at work and eat normal portions people will shame others for not eating enough.
