She’s been working hard to improve her fitness and is feeling better than ever, but her father’s comments have caused her to contemplate drastic action.

A young woman is at odds with her parents who consistently fat-shame her despite her efforts to live a healthier lifestyle. She recently suggested to her mother that they work out together to show her the progress she’s made at the gym.
