My dad is 6'3" so no and my brother is 6'4".

My sis, mom, and I are all 5'8". My mother is what is termed morbidly obese and has fought her weight her whole life. Both her sister and brother were also morbidly obese, smoked and drank black coffee a lot during the day. Both my aunt and uncle were dead by 50.

My mom is now 60 and does not drink black coffee or smoke so hopefully she will be around long enough for my daughter to know her ... but she has given up on worrying about her weight and loves food. So she I guess figures why not enjoy these last years and eat what she wants.

She is where I learned my overeating behavior from that I have tried not to teach my daughter. I let my daughter snack if she wants to and she tends to naturally eat small meals and snacks ... so I will not be discouraging that.

That whole mentality of finish your whole plate even if you are full I think is very old thinking and should be changed.
