People just focus so much on a number on a scale, when the focus should be on being healthy. Sometimes weight is a part of that, sometimes not.
I’ve met people that couldn’t weigh more than 100lbs soaking wet, yet they’re unhealthy to high hell, and frequently paying the (medical) price for that. Meanwhile, I’ve known people who can’t, by any means, get below 200lbs and they’re in near perfect health.
Weight does not equal health.
Being healthy doesn’t require that you are a particular weight.
I don’t disagree, but there is a so called ‘healthy weight’ which is vastly different for different people.
It’s not the be all end all, but it is still an important metric for living a healthy and comfortable life.
My entire point for my comment from earlier is that I don’t know what a “healthy weight” is for that person. I also won’t assume that “under 200lbs” is either above, or below, that amount.
I didn’t make any assumptions about it. My comment being “if it makes you happy?” Is more of a question of, if being under that weight is bringing you happiness. Because I will neither speculate, nor assume, what a healthy body weight is for that person, and I’m not going to ask for their private medical information on what a healthy weight is, so my only hope is that they’re happy about the change.
I probably could have said it better, but it would not have been as terse.
I find that the more terse I can be, the better my comments tend to do. It would seem that most people don’t want to read an entire encyclopedia for an answer to a relatively basic question. The issue I have is that, when I include context, I want to make as few assumptions about the reader as I can. About what they know or don’t know, or if they are familiar with medical terms or caught up in colloquialisms. Clarifying each point to the extent I need to in order to accommodate for those assumptions I am not making, is a verbose task.
I was just a bit worried about the ‘healthy at every size’ nonsense that started to appear a few years ago. It’s a dangerous idea and people need to be educated about it.
I also have no idea what a healthy weight is for OP and won’t be jumping to conclusions.
Weight thing: meh, if it makes you happy?
Glucose thing: fuck yeah dude.
There can be a correlation between the two
Possibly.
I wasn’t about to jump to that conclusion.

I won’t argue with you there.

I totally get you.
