I know some people are trying to help but all they see is the negativity: diabetes, heart failure, no friends, bullied, teased, lonely, ugly, no one will love them, they stink, not good at sports, etc.
They should tell about some of the good things about them being heavy, just to give them some self-esteem.
I've seen some beautiful overweight children that were not teased all the time, had many friends, became successful and became parents.
All they hear is lose weight to become happy and popular and good-looking.
I wish there was a job where I could help overweight children with their self-esteem and body image. To see there life in a more positive light. I would like to volunteer but that doesn't pay the bills after a while. Does anyone know where there are any jobs like this? I would appreciate it.
