Problems like what? Being inclined to judge yourself and others by more than appearance alone? Self-esteem based upon how you feel about yourself? The ability to meet difficult social situations head-on? Most kids would be lucky to be so unfortunate.

I'd encourage my kid to do exactly as she pleases and I'd hope that she'd wear that two-piece and own it. Looking good because she feels good.

Tell me ONE good thing about being overweight.
Just one thing that is better about being overweight, then being of a proper weight.
You can't..because there are no pro's to being fat. It's all cons.
The sooner people accept that the better we will all be. I'm not saying its easy to lose weight, nor am I saying overweight people should be shunned, or anything else. I am saying that having an attitude of acceptance should not be kosher.
Think what you want, but any parent that lets their child be overweight is not doing their job as a parent, and is only setting their kid up for a shitty life down the road.
