Here’s a long article from The New Republic that says in short:
- Even if Harvard says so, it ain’t necessarily so.
- There’s no scientific evidence to support the claim we need to get to the lowest end of our healthy weight range in order to be healthiest.

Interesting article, Sara. Having been heavy my whole life and now normal, I’ve been struggling with notion of “thin enough” for a long time… By all health assessment tools, I AM healthy, I am active and fit and wear a size I only dreamed of (thanks to vanity sizing, no doubt!)…but I’m not the 135 I envisioned myself at, at a “healthy weight.” But maybe my body will never BE 125 or 135 without starving myself. And maybe that’s just ok. :)
