She just has gotten this way over time. My wife is a social worker, and a therapist, so I think if there was any kind of eating disorder going on, if anyone could have picked up on that, my wife could. I think my wife's conclusion was that they were just very tight with their money, so food is not something that take to excess. My brother-in-law makes good money, but I think they are both just very frugal with how they spend it.Yea, my wife didn't want to say anything to sound gluttonous or inconsiderate of their hospitality. We both agreed that we eat too much, and we could both stand to lose some weight, so my wife probably felt like what we were used too was probably excessive, and she didn't have any place deriding her sister on the quantities of food that they ate. And she was staying there for a couple of days out of her sister's good will. Gift horse and all that.So, she ended up not saying anything, and just got over it. I still thought it strange nonetheless.</blockquote>
