Produktbeschreibung

"Body Image" Part 1 Whitney Washington, from around the age of three, when she began walking; moving about independently on her feet, was constantly ridiculed about the way in which she stood, sat and ate. Most of the time, this unkind and harsh treatment was dished out by her own biological mother, who was filled with disdain for anyone, especially female, who were on the chubbier side, so to speak, or had a certain amount of weight on their bodies.

Three months after starving herself, it was obvious to everyone at school and in her household that the pounds were dropping from her body like hail from heaven. And now, her mother began seeing her as her beautiful daughter, and she also began gaining many friends at school as well.
