This week's whine is more of an angry/sad rant.

While I was working earlier today I overheard a woman telling her grand-daughter they needed to 'get some pounds off of her". This little girl was about six years old. She was slightly chubby, but not fat...and she was adorable. This grandma is starting a life of self-esteem issues for this poor little girl at such a young age! I understand wanting your children, or grandchildren, to be healthy...but shouldn't you change the way you feed them instead of making them feel bad about themselves. Couldn't she just start feeding her healthier stuff and leave it at that? Isn't this little girl going to go through enough self-esteem issues on her own later in life...even if she is not overweight later in life, isn't there enough in our world to make her feel bad?

I am still heart broken for this little girl...thinking about it makes me want to cry for her.
