There is nothing wrong with being fat. Fat is not inherently the problem; regardless of the number on the scale, your weight is only a problem when it causes medical issues or is the direct result of an illness. Some people are healthy at 120 pounds, some are healthy at 220 pounds. My healthy happens to be around 140, give or take. I have friends who are deemed healthy by their doctors at 200. The number or appearance of your weight is not a problem. That being said, if you are not healthy at 220, it’s not wise to pretend you are. You need to love your body and know it’s always beautiful, but also love it in the sense that you know when to take care of it.

Also, please note that I’m not aiming this at people who are disabled or physically incapable of weight control. This is just my feelings towards the general population who can make lifestyle changes don’t, instead insisting that because 210 is their friend’s healthy that it can be their healthy, too.

Please, please love your body and listen to it.
