Brianna has endured bullying all her life. “Fatty! Fat girl!” her peers shouted at her. And one day her family decided to take a desperate step. Nine-year-old Brianna from California, USA has never been able to play outdoor games with her peers. From running, she quickly began to suffocate.

The girl was overweight from birth.At the age of nine, she weighed almost 90 kilograms! Her mother Heidi could not bear her daughter’s suffering. Instead of justifying her appearance with genetics, she decided that she should lose weight.

But mom knew perfectly well that her daughter could not cope alone. Therefore, the whole family decided to lose weight together. Everyday mom, dad, daughter and even a five-year-old son walked 6 kilometers. And no exceptions!

“We went in the rain, cold, and fog.” If nothing else worked out, I would do it at night. “Nothing could stop us,” Heidi says. Furthermore, the entire family was on a diet. And the outcome did not take long to arrive.

Brianna, the “fatty,” vanished less than a year later. Some of her classmates didn’t even recognize her. The girl, who used to struggle to run a few meters, is now involved in basketball and swimming.

She was even accepted into the cheerleading team, which is usually reserved for the most popular girls. Overweight is a worldwide issue that affects both children and adults. Extra weight not only jeopardizes people’s health, but it also frequently leads to self-doubt and depression. In such a situation, who else can help but loved ones?
