These phrases show you care about the person's well-being without commenting on their weight. If you're close to the person, you might suggest doing something healthy together, like 'Vogliamo andare a fare una passeggiata?' which means 'Want to go for a walk?'"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I see what you mean. It's all about being considerate and respectful. What if I want to talk about my own weight or health journey in Italian?

If you want to express that you're working on being healthier, you could say 'Sto cercando di migliorare la mia salute' which translates to 'I'm trying to improve my health.' These statements focus on your own goals and experiences, which can be a great way to open up a conversation about health and wellness with your friends."}]
