Healthy weight management involves determining your healthy weight and fitness levels, and then determining a diet and exercise plan that you enjoy enough to be able to maintain in the months and years to come. Come in and make an appointment to Counseling Services to discuss your health and fitness goals. We have experience helping students establish realistic health and fitness milestones for themselves, and we can also help you set up appointments with your family physician, dietitian or with University Health Services to make sure the goals you establish are realistic and truly healthy for your individual condition. Some people are naturally more stocky and muscular than others. Body builders, regardless of their initial predispositions, become overweight because they are building massive muscles.
Muscles weigh more than fat.
The best way for you to determine if you are overweight or obese is to make an appointment with your family physician. Counseling Services can provide support if you are struggling to maintain a diet or a new exercise regimen. Call and make an appointment to come in for an intitial interview. We all occasionally overeat. Compulsive overeating, on the other hand, is a signal that something has gone seriously wrong with your life and that you are beginning to use food as a drug rather than as nutrition.
