Thank goodness. Because, baby liposuction? Hell, no! It's sad that some people really believe that young children are too fat. They end up doing more harm than good, in my opinion. Speaking from experience, I was not overweight until after I started worrying about my weight as a teen. Even though I had six dance classes per week at the time, I still perceived that I was fat when I was, in fact, slightly underweight. Stress and low self-esteem resulted in battling an eating disorder. I would starve or fast, and then binge, then feel horrible because I'd cheated. I was exhausted from trying to live up to other people's expectations.
I'd like to see children encouraged to like themselves the way that they are, even if they are overweight. The worse you feel, the more difficult it is to eat right and exercise.
