 What happened? "There once was a boy named Jordan and he was a very chubby, young little boy. As he was teased mercilessly for his chubbiness as a child, he started to exercise and he decided that he really didn't life that. One day, he was on the playground and some boys found him and were teasing him. He decided that he was going to pick a fight with them so he said, 'Hey you fools, stop teasing me. It hurts my feeling." They said, 'We don't care about your feelings. That's why we're teasing you.' Jordan went home and cried. (This is turning into a really sad story, but it gets better.) Jordan decided one day to pick up the exercise thing again and then he decided that his body image does not define him and that he could be whatever little boy he wanted to be. He went up to those mean people and he said, "You know what? You're fat because I say you're fat.' As he finished his story in his FA group (Fat Anonymous), everyone clapped because he overcame his image issues. That's what happened." Los Angeles, California
