On the other hand, my mother has huge issues with people that aren't at or under weight; psychologically I assume this comes from the fact that my grandmother has always struggled with her own weight and the relationship between them has more issues than you can shake a stick at. Anyways, I yo-yo'd between anorexia and bulimia in high school do to the massive 'pinch an inch and you're fat' body image issues I picked up at home/to keep her happy. I'm 5' 11" and I spent most of high school around 115lbs/a size 4, which I've since noticed looking back at old photos is disturbingly emaciated/generally unhealthy looking. (Seriously, I had no curves that women are supposed to have on me at all. I'm so much happier/healthier now (years later) it's not even funny.
Nothing like well intentioned mothers gone wrong in my case, right? :P
