Thanks for the comment, Neil. I couldn’t agree more that well-being practitioners need to help people adopt healthy & sustainable lifestyle habits regardless of weight status; as an industry, we need to rethink weight-centric approaches. While many attempt weight loss to fit cultural ideals, others aim to reduce symptoms, improve health-related quality of life, and feel better.

There may be a healthy weight for each person, but sustained weight loss to achieve it is not supported by science for the majority of people. Healthy actions and positive habit formation should be our focus.

This is a great reminder that words matter… every one of them!
