My mom was also very critical of my body growing up. I definitely thought I was fat starting in the 4th grade. When I look at pictures of myself from that time, it breaks my heart because I was a perfectly normal-sized kid. It definitely affected my body image growing up and still does.

I completely agree with you. I cannot believe the kind of nastiness he's getting for a comment about his weight loss tips. I guess mommies are just uber-touchy about that kind of stuff.

Jesus Christ, that was the dullest piece of shit I have ever read. Who would pay this guy to write?
