Apparently of ALL reality TV, that TV show is “disgusting” because it pushes the idea that overweight people are...

It could be your daughter, your little sister, a child you babysit, a friend, or even a girl from school you’ve never noticed. Whoever she is, she looks up to you and she pays attention to your words and actions. She watches how you eat and how you talk about yourself.
When you call yourself fat or ugly or say you aren’t good enough, she thinks, “If she’s fat, I must be a whale! If...
