My doctor says I'm 40 pounds over weight. I weigh 180 but I feel good about how I look and feel. What should I do?

Question

Answer

I agree you're over weight not be to mean but if you're under the age 30 and under 5 feet 6 inches then you're not supposed to weigh 180. I'm 16 and weight 120 for the last 2 years and I'm 5 feet 5 inches. I would listen to you're doctor and start a healthier diet and work in some exercises. If he said you're 40 pounds over weight then I'm guessing you're at least 25 and you should weight at the most 130 pounds.

Answer

Do a full panel. If your health is suffering from the few extra pounds, then you should probably lose weight. If not and you're happy, then forget your doc.

Answer

I believe at health at every size. I weigh 170.. and could run laps around someone that's "normal". It doesn't mean they are healthy. He told you that because it's protocol. They go by the BMI.. which is bullshit and outdated. You should strive to be healthy in general. I don't think you look bad. If you could do something to be healthier, regardless of weight, that's what you should do.

Answer

Overweight doesn't necessarily mean unhealthy though. Did he say you were unhealthy??

Answer

I would personally listen to the doctor. Speaking honestly, you do look overweight.

Answer

As long as you're healthy and taking care of yourself, then do you babe! Keep loving yourself and your body and do what makes you happy

Answer

If you feel good about yourself and there's nothing else wrong with you, then keep doing you.💗

Answer

If you are fine with your weight and eat healthy you should be fine. I'm overweight as well by 20lbs but I eat healthy and keep a healthy lifestyle. It is up to you, I recommend to get a fasting blood panel fine to make sure the weight isn't affecting your health.
