I cant think of any benefit?

I do think that part fo the reason I havent ever tried hard to lose the weight though before my adult life was because my mom was CONSTANTLY making terribly rude comments about every single thing I put in my mouth....It made me never want to lose weight or give her the pleasure.... even now its tough when 2 times a day she calls and asks me "how much weight have you lost now?" *sigh* but alas...I am doing this for ME and for my beautiful children.
