Instead of asking “Do I need to lose weight to be healthy?”, a better question to ask is “Am I taking good care of my body and mind?” 

Health is not just about a number on a scale. People naturally come in different shapes and sizes, and two people can weigh the same and have very different health levels. If we focus only on weight, we can sometimes harm our confidence or mental health. 

Being healthy is about how your body and mind feel and work. Things that really matter for health include: 

• Eating a balanced diet 

• Getting enough sleep 

• Moving your body regularly 

• Feeling good about yourself 

• Having positive relationships
