There is a growing movement that shifts the focus to all forms of well-being, rather than weight—it’s called Health at Every Size (HAES). Instead of focusing on numbers (weight), the emphasis is on forms of well-being and behaviors that are sustainable for people in all bodies, as well as the practices, environments, and policies that maximize access to well-being for all the people in all the bodies. Weight is not a behavior! For example, physical activity is vital for health, and it’s a sustainable behavior. (To learn more, see the sidebar “Health at Every Size,” here.)
