And yet, when Tonya Harding did her little piece of vicious stupidity, all anyone could talk about was the size of her thighs. Not her thug-ness or her association with thugs, not the shocking extreme of unsportswomanship, just the size of her thighs. As though she must have been evil, with thighs like those.

Good point about not criticizing in front of her. I never even thought about that. Originally Posted by OakLeaf

As a whole, I am confident enough about myself to feel beautiful...but I'm not really in shape at this point in my life. I've probably gained about 30lbs in the 3 yrs since I've met my husband.
I think he has an obsession with body image because his mother (and father) has lots of health problems related to weight issues. He equates being overweight with not caring about yourself.
At this point, his comments about our daughter are mostly in jest (I think). As a first time dad, a lot is new to him. It doesn't help that his best friend's baby (who was born 4 weeks before ours) is like 15th percentile in weight, so our baby at 50th percentile (which I keep reminding him of) seems huge in comparison.
