I watched two people debating what a "healthy weight" truly means recently.
One side was arguing that BMI is the only metric that matters. The other side was arguing that we shouldn't even aim for health, we should only aim for "happiness." It made me shake my head in despair at the world I have to work in.
I can only imagine what it is like for you to consume this s**t every day. It is no wonder you are confused.
The "happiness" argument misses the point entirely. You might be "happy" eating Chinese takeaways and drinking alcohol five nights a week.
But are you happy with how you have to wake up and feel every single day?
Are you happy with the brain fog, the exhaustion, the bloating and the physical limitations of the weight you carry with that lifestyle?
Health INCLUDES happiness. You cannot have one without the other.
For me, health is about living in a body that is physically healthy and capable, both inwardly and outwardly.
But it is also about achieving that in a healthy way.
Being lean and "fit" but being fu***ng miserable because you are so restricted is NOT health. That is a disordered relationship with food.
Being completely happy with what you eat but living in a body on the brink of Type 2 diabetes and heart disease is also not health. That is a physical disaster waiting to happen.
We shouldn't be "aiming" for a specific number on a scale.
We should be aiming to work on our mindset and our lifestyle. When you fix the way you think and the way you live, your weight will settle naturally.
Sure, It might not go all the way into a "perfect" BMI, but it also won't be sitting on the brink of obesity. It will be the weight where your body is physically capable and your mind is mentally free.
That is the only definition of health that matters.
If this is the sort of philosophy you agree with and think you would like support with adopting... this is how I work.
