[quote=Anonymous]I really wish as a culture we could change the conversation from a discussion about losing weight to not gaining weight in the first place. There is copious evidence that losing weight is a fools errand. However, there is also copious evidence that being overweight increases your risk of disease. So what we need to do is prevent people from becoming overweight and obese in the first place. In my family that has materialized as discussions about healthy food and bodies from toddlerhood onwards. I know many here would disagree that you should ever comment on what someone is eating but when you see your teenager hauling share size bags of candy back in her backpack every day from the 7-Eleven runs, it’s OK to say something. Not to shame them but to say hey how about you focus on some fruits and vegetables tomorrow? Too much sugar isn’t good for you and will make your body less healthy.[/quote]
