This article is not helpful whatsoever. A waste of time reading this inarticulate garbage. Most fat people don’t want to be fat and losing weight isn’t easy- especially when there are medical reasons for it. You can quit smoking, gambling, alcohol and never touch it again. But, food is necessary. You cannot live without it. Poverty is real, and access to healthy nourishing food can be be next to impossible when you’re struggling. There are many reason someone is fat, but bullies don’t discriminate. Adults bully and judge other adults, it’s not just kids. Try teaching kids to stand up to bullies. “What other people think of me is none of my business”. Remind them that mean people don’t deserve the time of day. What they think doesn’t matter. Who cares what a bully think? They aren’t worthwhile people. And one day they may get really really fat and get their just comeuppance.

I think all kids love their mother no matter what she looks like.
I think if they are embarrassed maybe it’s because friends are picking on them about it. Un fortunately there is not a lot that can be done about that. Kids can be mean.
I was 50 kgs over weight.
How I lost weight was I had a plastic container and in it I put 1500 calories of food. Once that was gone I couldn’t have any thing else that day.
The following I dropped it down to 1400 to eventually I dropped down to 1000 calories a day.
I lost my 50 kg in 7 months.
It is a year later and I had put 10 kgs back on but I have just gone back on to the 1200 calorie diet and list if in a month.
I allow I Small chocolate thing of 100 gms in the calorie count or I won’t stay on it.
Its my end of day reward.
It works
Try it

This article is so toxic and fat phobic. At first it starts of as if it is going to impart some wisdom, until you get to the end of paragraph 5 and all of six. Sometimes a parent can be overweight for reasons out of their control, or overweight by a small amount, and a child might still get teased for their parent being “fat.” To depict an overweight parent as sitting around eating twinkies is not just stupid and small minded, but on top, is an extension of grownup playground bullying.
