Even after our session on Friday I got an email with a youtube link with a video calIed "body image"

I don't really get it. Doesn't healthy at any size mean excatly that? Can't I be healthy at 160 pounds if she is healthy at 310 pounds? I wish she wouldn't be so hard on me all the time. My mom and doctor are fine with my weight loss. Even encouraging it.
I don't get passionate about a whole lot, or claim to know a whole lot, but I have wondered:

At what point does intake of calories which is primarily for energy, become wasted, and hinder health? Like we are not hibernating correct? Everyone is different but it's pretty easy to know if one more bite of food is necessary vs. pushing it.
