Summary
A 23-year-old woman said she lost 33 pounds after moving abroad, only to face fresh criticism from her mother-in-law, who now says she has become too skinny.
The weight loss followed months of comments from her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, who had warned she would get fat after the move; she initially gained about 13 pounds before changing her habits.
At 132 pounds and 5-foot-4, she said she is eating normally and is not underweight, while acknowledging that proving her in-laws wrong became part of her motivation.
Her husband backed the weight loss as long as it remained healthy, and online commenters largely sided with her, calling the family remarks intrusive and contradictory.
