Riven
Bad Chin
We had "thankschristmas" are my FIL's this weekend and something has just kind of bothered me. My niece is not what I'd call fat, she's kind of thick, but I wouldn't look at her and be concerned about it, especially at the age of 8.
We were eating and she finished all of her food on her plate that her mom gave her, not large portions either. And asked for more potatoes, my FIL was dishing them up for her, then her mom just kind of bursts out "Jessica!"... and John stops in mid scoop and my SIL says you need to remember to watch how many servings you have... then of course my FIL's asking if he was in the wrong...
But mostly I felt bad for Jessica. I believe she wears about a size 10, so she's not huge, and she's very solid, she isn't a skinny mini, but I don't think it's cause for concern. What I am worried about that this is going to cause other issues in the future, possible eating disorders and her being very conscious about her weight.
My SIL is very thin, but I "think" it's from her MS, or that's what I've been told anyway. Her husband's a little heavy, and I guess his side of the family is all on the bigger side and I understand that she is concerned about her getting obese. John's sister is very sweet and has good intentions, but often she is not fully educated on things, or doesn't take some things into consideration when she makes decisions. She doesn't do it on purpose, I think it's maybe just that she doesn't know.
Am I wrong to be concerned?
