I have an aquaintance - I wouldn't call her a close enough friend... and she had a rant on fb how a man has told her dd (5) that she's quite chubby. She attached a pic of her dd. Her dd is very upset now of course.
This I think is absolutely terrible and that man had no right to destroy a little girls self - esteem. It was a cruel thing to say and is totally wrong!
However all the comments on it are saying to not mind him she's not fat at all and that she's gorgeous and not an ounce overweight.
The mum then took her dd for ice cream to make her feel better. Her mum was quite chubby herself but lost loaf's of weight.
Don't get me wrong Im no stick insect im a size 12 with a mam bod and think everyone should feel sexy in their own body and are!!!
But this little girl is clearly very overweight at the age of 5 and I'm more concerned about her health really. Is it not wrong of her friends to tell her she's fine?
Are they not doing more harm than good?
She has seen a nutritionist for her as the public health nurse referred her. Aparently the nutritionist didn't know anything when she suggested to swap sausages for real meat etc etc.
I do feel awful for even saying this out loud but that little girl is quite overweight and I wish she would listen to the nutritionist for her health.
I don't feel I'm in a position to say anything to her as we aren't close friends.
Maybe I am being Unreasonable I'm not sure. And really its none of my business... I just feel obesity is on the rise and maybe that's why...
