LA CROSSE (WKOW) -- A TV anchor from La Crosse went on air to defend herself after a viewer attacked her for being overweight.

Jennifer Livingston, of WKBT-TV, received an e-mail from a viewer who complained her size was not a "suitable example" for the community's young people.

The letter went viral after her husband, the station's 6 and 10 o'clock anchorman, posted it online.

Livingston thanked the hundreds of people who have supported her. She says she wants to use the opportunity to teach kids not to let your self worth be defined by the words of others.
