Focus on Health First
Weight loss should never compromise health. The most sustainable and compassionate approach is to make gradual lifestyle changes that support wellbeing.
Build Healthy Habits
Small daily habits like drinking more water, eating more vegetables, and moving your body can add up to improved health over time without extreme measures.
Seek Support
Talk to a doctor, dietitian, or counselor to develop a customized plan. Having support and accountability can help make changes more sustainable.
Practice Self-Care
Getting enough sleep, reducing stress, and doing activities you enjoy are just as important for health as diet and exercise.
Be Your Best Self
Focus on being the healthiest version of yourself instead of comparing to others. Every body is unique and has value.
