A new study from a US University has proven that children who are obese are 60% more likely to experience bullying than children of a healthy weight. When self esteem is damaged it can often lead to comfort eating and contribute to a vicious cycle of weight gain. Studies like this prove that developing healthy eating habits early in life is not just about having a nice figure and looking good. Those who are raised to eat healthy and enjoy exercise are more likely to feel confident and happy.
