LOOK: Shocking transformation of a 9-year-old girl after being fat-shamed

One of the most common forms of bullying is fat-shaming or mocking a person’s size and weight. Fat-shaming comes from the societal pressure forced especially upon young women to have the ideal “thin” body type. Fat-shaming is bad not only because it is a form of bullying, but also because it pushes people of all body types to conform to a single ideal look.

However, some cases of fat-shaming have interesting twists. Looking back in 2011, Breanna Bond hit an overweight index as she weighed a hefty 185 pounds. This put a strain on her breathing, even more so her daily physical activities such as walking.

To make it worse, the youngster was bullied due to her huge size. In the talk show “Good Morning America“, Breanna recalled how she was targetted by bullies for her body.

“Everybody at school would call me names. They would call me fatty, they would call me fat head.”

The constant pushing around drove the girl to experience emotional distress. Having witnessed the suffering of her daughter, Breanna’s mom decided to step in and help her shed weight.

Determined to change the life of her daughter, the mom drew up a what she called “zero-tolerance” weight-loss program. Breanna was set to limit her fat intake in food to no more than 20 grams. She was also trained to do intense cardio such as running, swimming, and daily walking.

“There was nothing that stopped us. We went at night, in the rain, in the hail, in the fog, nothing. We had a zero-tolerance policy. We’re doing the walk, no matter what.”

Thanks to the combined effort of the mom and the daughter, Breanna shocked the world after a fitter version of her was unveiled at the show.

“The best thing is that now I can play with my friends and keep up. I can just move more.”

While it’s a sad fact that children as young as Brenna are being pressured to conform to societal beauty standards, the 9-year-old girl deserves a pat on the back for her amazing improvement.
