Em Aquele em que Rachel fala ... Ross diz:
I grew up with Monica. If you didn't eat fast, you didn't eat!

Em Aquele com o pediatra aprendemos que Ross costumava ir a um terapeuta, porque
Monica: ... he used to have this recurring nightmare. It really freaked him out.
Rachel: Wow, what was it?
Monica: That I was going to eat him. -
Em The One With Phoebe's Cookies , é revelado que Monica já foi enviada para acampamento gordo :
Ross: He still tells the story about how Monica tried to escape from fat camp.
Monica: I wasn't escaping!
Ross: Then how did you get caught in the barbed wire?
Monica: I was trying to help out a squirrel.

Monica perdeu o peso por causa de um incidente durante Thanksgiving 1987 , quando ela ouve Chandler dizer para Ross:
I just don't want to be stuck here all night with your fat sister.
Isso levou a Monica a perder peso, que ela conseguiu com sucesso no Thanksgiving de 1988.
