Weight thing: meh, if it makes you happy?

Glucose thing: fuck yeah dude.

There can be a correlation between the two

Possibly.

I wasn't about to jump to that conclusion.

People just focus so much on a number on a scale, when the focus should be on being healthy. Sometimes weight is a part of that, sometimes not.

I've met people that couldn't weigh more than 100lbs soaking wet, yet they're unhealthy to high hell, and frequently paying the (medical) price for that. Meanwhile, I've known people who can't, by any means, get below 200lbs and they're in near perfect health.

Weight does not equal health.

Being healthy doesn't require that you are a particular weight.

I don't disagree, but there is a so called 'healthy weight' which is vastly different for different people. It's not the be all end all, but it is still an important metric for living a healthy and comfortable life.
