I'm as healthy as I'm gonna get and I'm not going to worry about it anymore. "Health", or lack of it, has no moral value.

Not forcing one's self to exercise, just doing what your body and emotional state tells you, i.e. exercising when you feel like it and eating what you feel like. I'm actually thinking we need a new term since so many people have the impression that HAES is just a new set of 'be good' Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
