I know.  We are quite opposites.  She is 5'1" and obese.  I am 6'4" and very thin.  My metabolism is super high regardless of how active I am.  I liken her obesity to years of stress eating.  She was a stay at home mom and did not deal with stress and anger well.  She once (long before me as I am the youngest of four) was petite.  It's very possible I stay active because I don't ever want to be like her.  It's pretty sad actually.  I put a lot of blame on her for being that way.  She's a very stubborn person.
