Answer to Question 1

Answer: Answers could include any of the following. Accept yourself for who you are; pay attention to your fitness rather than your appearance; be kind to yourself; no one can look their healthiest or eat wisely all the time; accept your setbacks as temporary obstacles, not personal failures; know that the beauty and fitness industries are businesses designed to make money, not be health-care providers; and remember that your worth is not defined by your appearance, and your health is not defined by the number on the scale.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Answers should show students understanding of the differences between programs and suggestions for people who are overweight, and the relatively stronger treatments for people who are obese. For example, people who are overweight need to concentrate on reducing their calories and increasing their exercise, while obese people may need direct medical treatments.
