I think I've always assumed that people making comments about each other's weight is just more common and innocuous in the UK. I mean, going purely off of British television, verbal insults between friends and family seem to be taken as normal and innocuous, far more than they are in North America. For example, I always flinch at the scene in Bridget Jones where Briget's father calls Briget's mother a daft cow. The way he says it, it definitely seems to be meant affectionately, but as a Canadian who isn't used to that kind of thing it just feels verbally abusive.

So whenever I watch Love Actually, I guess I've always just presumed I should take the weight comments in a similar context.

(Aslo, no judging Brits for any of this. I find the whole "we casually insult each other because we love each other" thing to be rather endearing a lot of the time, tbh.)
