    Question

    How do you become "un-obese"?

    Answer

    First, you talk to your doctor about how much weight would be appropropriate for you to lose, and how much exercise is right for you, and then you and your family talk to a nutritionist, who will help you identify eating habits and food choices that will support you being healthy, and then you slowly start to make changes in your diet and exercise habits to support your being WELL! Good luck!
