The Vet ResetIt's OK to Want to Lose WeightThe desire to lose weight has become kind of a taboo subject. We apologize for it constantly and immediately name other reasons we want to try to eat differently/work out more/change our habits. It's OK to want to lose weight, and it's OK to say it out loud. What's NOT OK is being fed the message, almost from birth, that weight = worth - and that you don't deserve to be treated well whether or not you are objectively "thin enough."
