Controlling your mass

Weight management is the practice of maintaining body weight at a healthy level through diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices.

The term often appears in medical and wellness contexts, covering both weight loss and prevention of weight gain: The clinic offers a weight management program.

It frames weight as something to be monitored and controlled rather than simply accepted.
