i wouldn't say so though i suppose it depends on the context in which you are using the honesty.

i suppose if someone were overwieight and a person repeatedly referred to it for the purpose of belittling them orto make them feel insecure or hurt then yes
but if a person were to refer to it once with no intention of causing any hurt (ie just making an observation) then no

i guess what i'm trying to say is for it to be bullying there has to be the intent there to cause either repeated physical or mental hurt.
