Food Pushers Who Call You Fat

This is a fascinating phenomena to me: people (usually relatives) who will complain about someone being fat but then push extra food on that person. It hasn't happened to me so much, but I've seen and heard of it happening to others. Like, "It's too bad you're so big... here, take this cake home. No, you MUST take it."

Has this happened to you? What's up with these people? Do they not realize what they're doing? Do they secretly not want the overweight person to change? Do they not understand how to lose or maintain weight?

    YES. when I was a kid my gma used to tell me she was afraid I was going to die young because of my weight but then offer me a bowl of ice cream 10 minutes later. That's just how she is though...

    Grandmas seem to be especially good at this.
