      @@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.

    What a rude e-mail! Some people does not have any control over how their body look. Healthwise there are a lot of things that can cause you to gain weight. Sometimes you just have to live this motto: "What others think of me is none of my business. They are only revealing their own lack of integrity."
    And with that: WOW! Wow! And WOW again! You GO GIRL! I just LOVE your EXCELLENT answer! Clearly you have a big personality and sturdy character. Stay strong! You are INDEED a great example for our young people who gets bullied in the same manner.

    Even if the person who wrote the email was well-meaning and didn't intend on it being an attack or bullying message, it was misplaced. The issue is that her role is not to "promote a healthy lifestyle". It's not her responsibility to ensure childhood obesity no longer exists. That would be up to each individual child and their parents. People tune-in to the news for the news and weather, not to see how fit, healthy and athletic their bodies can be. Additionally, there's more to being an example than being the correct weight, such as showing kindness and having the right attitude. You don't have to be perfect in every way to be an inspiration for someone or for them to look up to you. You take what you can get from people. If you don't think you should look up to her for your physique, look to someone else. And look up to her for other things. It's as simple as that.
