Losing weight seems to have benefits in preventing and fighting cancer

Just in case you needed another reason to lose weight and stay motivated, being overweight or obese will soon over take smoking as the greatest cause of cancer in the US. I thought this article from the Washington Post did a good job summarizing current research and knowledge. One point is that they seem to see benefits even for older people - it's never too late. For me, it's helpful to have a bunch of different reasons for my goals that I can remember depending on the situation.

There are so many reasons to keep going. Maybe you don't reach your goals as fast as you want and you have set backs, but it is worth it. For those people who struggle with how to square weight loss and body positivity (e.g. HAES), here is another example of how weight loss is caring for and loving your body.
