We suggest trying to focus on the positive changes that you can make to your lifestyle instead of worrying. This is because worrying often makes you feel worse, while it doesn't actually change the situation.
Weight Concern also recommends that parents should help their children to avoid being or becoming overweight or obese. Please see the section on children and families for more information in this area.
And remember - even if you are happy with your weight, eating well and taking regular exercise will help improve your health and protect you from coronary heart disease, diabetes and strokes.
