If so, you may be happy to know that during Healthy Weight Week, Jan. 21-27, health providers across the country emphasize the value of maintaining one's own natural weight, rather than losing weight. The year 2006 was not reassuring. It was a year in which fashion industry moguls admitted that a size zero is no longer thin enough for them: they demand models in size double zero, negative zero, and even negative two. "This hysteria over weight is causing tragic problems for children and for people of all sizes. Instead, we want to help them move ahead to improving their health in positive ways," says Francie M. Berg, a licensed nutritionist and adjunct professor at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine, whose organization Healthy Weight Network started Healthy Weight Week 14 years ago.
