Only 68% of people living with obesity report good or very good sleep quality, compared to 75% of those with a normal BMI.
It's a health condition, not a willpower problem. The World Health Organization describes obesity as a chronic, relapsing disease with many causes.
Your weight can affect your whole health. A higher BMI is linked to heart disease, type 2 diabetes and other conditions - managing it lowers that risk.
Small steps add up. Managing weight is about more than a number on the scales - it's energy, sleep, confidence and long-term health.

BMI (body mass index) is a quick way to check if your weight is in a healthy range for your height. It's the same measure your doctor and pharmacist use as a starting point.
Ranges based on World Health Organization adult BMI categories. If you'd like to talk it through, your local participating pharmacy is a good place to start.
