As an alternative, Healthy at Every Size stresses getting on with life regardless of what the scale says. Darling says the non-dieting, fitness movement stresses eating when you're hungry and stopping when you're satisfied. Darling says that women, the main focus of the Healthy at Every Size effort, should concentrate on being active in whatever activities they enjoy. We know that physical discomfort is often associated with inactivity or being out of shape. The discomfort isn't necessarily linked to body weight.
Movement loosens up the body, the mind and the mood.
She adds that women can make healthy choices that fit their lifestyles. We're challenging the notion that large people are necessarily unhealthy or that overweight people will automatically improve their health if they lose weight. People of all sizes and shapes can reduce their risk of poor health by adopting a healthy, active lifestyle. Every body is a good body.
