I have the opportunity to work with many people of all shapes and sizes.

For some women, it's trying to get their "prior baby body" back is of their upmost importance.

For a man, it may be to live long enough to play with his grandkids or get in and out of their boat easier.

Just like the young lady that it being photographed often and must look long and skinny for that specific look in the photograph.

Whatever the goal is, health should be the focus.  Eating quality foods, and enough of it, should also be just as important.

Body fat "is what it is". If you have body fat in excess it is just as dangerous as having to little of it.

We should celebrate everyones body, feeling beautiful, and celebrate body image because we all all human beings and different yet having an excess of body fat percentage is just as dangerous or concerning as the next persons sickness or illness. The image should not devalue or lessen a person for who they are or what they look like.

Just like smoking will lead to cancer, excess body fat will lead to heart problems, diabetes, anxiety, depression, and health concerns.

Size 4 is not the goal, but a properly balanced lifestyle is.

A properly balanced lifestyle is not how you "feel" it is how healthy you body is on the inside.
