Television Anchor Gets Bullied by View About Her Weight and Speaks Up - On TV!

An anchor for a CBS affiliate in LaCrosse, Wisc., took what could have been a hurtful comment from a viewer and turned it into a powerful tirade against online bullying.

Jennifer Livingston of WKBT-TV read a letter from a viewer who took issue with the fact that she is overweight. “Obesity is one of the worst choices a person can make and one of the most dangerous habits to maintain,” the viewer wrote. “I leave you this note hoping that you’ll reconsider your responsibility as a local public personality to present and promote a healthy lifestyle.”

Livingston’s husband, fellow WKBT anchor Mike Thompson, posted the emailed letter on his Facebook Page and received an outpouring of support. Emboldened by this, Livingston singled the writer out as a bully. “The truth is I am overweight,” Livingston said. “You can call me fat and yes, even obese on a doctor’s chart. To the person who wrote me that letter, do you think I don’t know that? Your cruel words are pointing out something I don’t see? You don’t know me. You are not a friend of mine. You are not a part of my family, and you admitted that you don’t watch this show so you know nothing about me besides what you see on the outside — and I am much more than a number on a scale.”

She continued: “We are better than that bully. We are better than this email. We are better than the bullies that would try to take us down.”

Fun {And Healthy!} Fall Treats - Apple Chips

Yum! These are so easy you can make them yourself. 

Girl Power!

Apple Chips

5 small to medium apples (preferably fresh and crisp–I used MacIntosh)
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line 2 (or more) large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash the apples well. Carefully cut out the cores with a sharp paring knife. Use a mandoline slicer to slice the apples to 1/8″ thick.

Lay out on the baking sheets, trying not to overlap too many apples. Sprinkle with salt, and dust with cinnamon. Bake for 3 – 4 hours, until the apples have curled and the skin has wrinkled slightly. Apple chips will crisp as they cool.

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Refrigerate or freeze if planning to keep longer.
