Thank you for this. Maybe I’m late to this post, but I agree 100%. No middle schooler that’s fat thinks they’re beautiful and nothing’s wrong with them. I guarantee they’re bullied, I guarantee she knows and dislikes that she’s fat. The mother has probably drilled all this stuff into her about fat is beautiful and all that shit. I mean, do you think that, if she went on a diet, mom would be supportive, or would she be trying to pour more soda down her throat?
