Today we chat about an all too common phenomenon, when a strong weight-focus by family members distracts from clearly seeing the actual situation with someone's health and wellbeing.

We've had a number of conversations recently with people who are worried about their kids bodies. It happens at this time of year every year and we think we might know why. With school holidays often leading to inconsistent eating, more reliance on takeaway, drive through or convenience options and less movement we can feel 'bleugh', a bit sluggish, a bit lethargic, just not quite right. At the same time the weather is warming up so we are seeing more of our body than we are used to
