      True but it's was her choice to surface that pain and to address it as she has.
      Nevertheless the Obesity that was mentioned is real you don't need a doctor to diagnose the fact, this video was 8 years old what changed since then. My hope is the attitude changed as well is the vital clinical numbers not just the weght but also, bmi, pulse, O sat, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, vision, hearing, etc ...

      @@theviralsnail I grew up around bigger people. I didn’t grow up fat. I don’t know a SINGLE person who looks at someone fat and is just like “huh, I wanna be big like them”. So no, having weight on you is NOT an influence. It doesn’t influence people to get fatter. Telling people to eat more when they’ve had enough is influencing a bad habit. Simply being fat is not. We ALSO shouldn’t be influencing people to be skinny. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia are BOTH mental health issues. There are unhealthy skinny people out there and healthy fat people. Many of the healthy fat people tend to walk a lot, be outside more, and have healthier relationships with those around them. I believe a lot of obese issues actually are social as being made fun of and mocked and criticized has a way bigger influence on health than what you put in your body. If someone obese is living their life just fine, leave them alone

A positive role model on TV, without stereotyping that everybody has to have a perfect body, surely is a good thing - showing that you certainly should not judge a person from their outward appearance but on whether they can do the job or have a positive effect on the world around them. Self confidence and self esteem for a teenager is everything.

      @ASCII Station I really don't think that is what the user above was saying. I believe they were trying to say that if a man is judging other people he is going to be overly critical to his children and their appearances if he does have any.

      @@perilflower as an Asian, my parents tease me and my brother on weight a lot, but since we already have an established social code, we understand it isn’t deeply critical. It really depends on how the father teaches their children the moral code, because sometimes being overweight is a problem. Just depends how you tell it to your child

    “Do not let your self worth be defined by bullies.” I couldn’t agree more. Bullies dislike themselves. Thus, reflect their self hatred on to others or at least try to. Nobody is perfect. We all have imperfections. I think we shall embrace our uniqueness. 😇

      I agree that it is NOT okay what that man did. It was downright evil. He doesn’t care about her health. However, no one has the power to shame you. You CHOOSE to accept their comment as proof that you are not okay. I dislike the term shaming because we can opt out of accepting their projection onto us. You see, HE loathes himself. That is why he did that. He is shame-bound.
