I love Arthur. He adds so much to the show.

[@nataliecabrera6559]

For the ones who haven't seen this whole episode, Arthur shows Doug a picture of Carrie's mother and sees that she's a big lady. Arthur mentioned to Doug that all the ladies on that side of the family eventually "blow-up" and that was enough to scare Doug about Carrie's future. That is why he is suddenly careful about what she eats. Doug realizes he messed up, apologizes like in every other episode and they make up in the end. It's just a joke and yes ironic that it should be the other way around but that's what makes it funny.

[@KS-gn2mv]

Thanks for the context. While still ridiculous for him to complain about her body, I can appreciate that he was that size when they got married.
