The expression ‘losing weight’ is actually pretty bizarre. As if you have something called weight, that you can add or lose. Weight is a force, it’s a relationship between you and the planet. I think it betrays a way of thinking about our bodies. We think of weight as a type of heaviness. Those feelings of heaviness are not weight, you can’t feel your weight. They’re feelings of unbalanced forces between you and the Earth. No matter what size and shape you are you can be completely free of any feelings of weight or heaviness, just by re-balancing the forces.
