Let's make the fairly reasonable assumption that most fat people are fat because they eat too much, eat unhealthily and don't exercise.

Now what happens if you tend to associate a lot with fat people? Let's assume, for example, that all your family members are obese. Chances are you will share a similar lifestyle. When everyone gathers around the backyard barbie to cook and gorge on huge, obscenely over-sized servings of beef & fatty lamb ....

(yes, I use this illustration because Keith is from Australia, and this is pretty much Australian culture)

......... chances are you will want to participate. Hey, they're your family.

Now of course it is possible to hang out with people of any particular kind, and not subconsciously be affected by them. You'll just have to watch your mind, that is all.

If your mother is fat, that is no reason to avoid her. In fact, there are plenty of reasons why you should not avoid her (like, she's your mother). But you may want to take extra care not to be subconsciously influenced by her unhealthy lifestyle habits. That is all.
