Family fat-shaming is more common than you think

Poor self-esteem, depressive symptoms, unhealthy and extreme weight control behaviors, and binge eating are all common for those with family members that tease them for their weight. The problems often start in adolescence and prevail through to adulthood. If unnoticed and untreated, they can get worse.
Mothers are the worst critics

Unsurprisingly, out of all the family members, mothers are the ones that tend to pick on their children for their weight. They continue to do so for years, bullying their children way into adulthood.
In some cultures, fat-shaming is normal

When talking toVice, counselling psychologist Utkarsha Jagga noted that fat-shaming in Asian societies is quite normal. In fact, poking fun at someone’s weight is viewed as a major motivator. Parents and other family members constantly bully their children, thinking they are actually helping them. It’s a way to express concern and love for a person you care about. This is prevalent in many cultures around the world, which is very odd and unacceptable to many westerners.
We only hope the bride can move on and create a healthy space for her children to grow up in without family bullying.
Many showed support for the sad bride, shared similar experiences, and gave tips on what to do next
