This article was passed onto me from my facebook page about a great individual who overcame bullying issues as well as successfully battled a weight problem!

Bullied kids are often intially targeted because of their appearance to others. While I absolutely do not condone putting someone down because they struggle with weight, I fully encourage people who struggle with weight problems to find a way (almost ANY way) to get themselves to a healthy weight.
My hope is that people find a way to place positive pressure for change rather than take the mean route of bullying...
