Mixed weight... well, that's a first

I found search results going back to 2013 for the term. I suspect it's not that popular because these relationships aren't all that prevalent in public.

Probably not popular too as it sounds too similar to mixed-race. I’m the product of a mixed-race relationship and it doesn’t sit right with me. You can change your weight, and there have never been laws preventing skinny and large people from marrying. It may be taboo, but it’s certainly isn’t the level of taboo that mixed marriage was when my parents got married. It’s not like his parents would refuse to attend the wedding and the vicar would say “you can’t be serious?” This has been the struggle of mixed race relationships. Not important really as it’s just an internet term, but it rubs me up the wrong way.
