[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not about giving yourself permission to stop dieting. It's about figuring out what that extra 20lbs means and why it's so important to lose it. Don't say health. Because it's not about being healthy. You can be 20lbs over your ideal weight and still be healthy. (And there are plenty of people who are at their ideal weight and are unhealthy). You have internalized something about that number on the scale. Once you have figured it out, the need to diet (or give yourself permission to not diet) won't be needed. [/quote] Very true. Weight goals are usually arbitrary and bmi ranges are flawed. Personally it makes sense to me evolutionarily speaking that our bodies should be capable of retaining SOME extra weight before it becomes unhealthy. I think that amount probably varies on an individual basis though.[/quote]
