Can we stop stigmatizing the desire to lose weight? A lot of us are genuinely overweight. It seems like this advice is geared towards those with ED or body dysmorphia.
I needed this today, thank you! I been feeling so powerless over my binge eating and body image issues so hearing that other people feel this way helps.
So you can be 300 plus pounds and be at optimal physical health and live a long happy life at that weight? I understand not caring for vanity, and not beating yourself up if you’re 50 or even 100 pounds over weight, but if you’re 150+ pounds overweight is it possible to really be healthy? I’ve had friends and family die because of complications of being overweight
I don't think it is, but I would love to be wrong. I also don't think that it is possible to be unhealthy if you eat whole foods to your satisfaction. They are made to fill us up, even the full fat meats, dairy, etc. Refined sugar hijacks your fullness cues, and unfortunately for overweight individuals that is what I think needs to be limited.

I followed all the keto carnivore gurus and I’m so done with it ! I just want to eat feel good and be at peace again 54 yr old
Thank you. This is right where I am right now and it is so nice to hear I am not alone.
I got a dexascan and I have too much subcutaneous and visceral fat so it’s not about weight it’s about health for me !
My mom talked negatively about her body and I was normal trim weight until
Have 2 beautiful sons .

My relationship with food is fine. I just don't like this body or how it looks or moves.
