French wellness resort prompts weight loss advice for first time.

A writer shares her experience of being told to lose weight during a wellness retreat in France, where weight loss is taken seriously. She questions whether France is unaware of the body positivity movement and notes the difference in attitudes towards weight loss between the UK and France. While body positivity celebrates all body types, health experts worry about the health risks of obesity. The conversation around weight is difficult to navigate, but education on good food choices, exercise, and movement is key. The focus should be on health and wellbeing, rather than obsessing over what our bodies look like.
