This is a strange question and I apologize in advance, but when you say "move in a way that feels good".. What exactly is the point of it? I've always been raised that the only purpose of exercise is to lose/maintain a goal weight, but if we're prescribing to the idea of a set weight that your body deems ideal, what is the point of exercise? What purpose does it serve? Sorry if this is a terribly simple question, but I'm floundering a little.

Moving your body in ways that feel good can:

Stimulate digestion and appetite.

Strengthen muscles that will make all of life’s activities easier and more manageable.

Improve and support circulation, especially to extremities.

Support metabolism of blood glucose into energy (in other words, help you get lots of energy out of what you eat).

Help you fall asleep easier at night and stay asleep through the night

Help people to regulate their moods by reducing depression and anxiety

Increase positive emotions through the release of endorphins

Improve cardiovascular health -- lung, heart, and blood vessel health

Decrease stress by activating the parasympathetic nervous system and by helping to “scrub” cortisol and other stress hormones from the blood stream (especially true for stretching, yoga, tai chi and similar breath-based practices)

Increase feelings of connection to your body

Produce feelings of efficacy and competence (”I did it!!”)

Reduce pain by moving lactic acid out of muscles and reducing inflammation

You don’t need to punish yourself to achieve these and other desirable outcomes. You can go for a walk -- ideally outside! You can do some stretches or accessible yoga videos at home. Do some gardening. Dance around in your underpants. Wrestle or play tag with your kids or your pets. Have orgasms. Clean your house. Just find ways to use your body to have a good time.

Take care of your skin and body because at the end of the day when the makeup comes off and you get undressed, that’s what you’ll be faced with. I love makeup just as much as the next person, but it makes no sense to invest hundreds of dollars into makeup products but neglect your skin.

Exercise regularly and eat healthy. I know that we live in an age where it’s easily accessible to just cut the fat away, but even doctors will tell you to lose a good majority of the weight naturally before going under the knife. Doing otherwise is literally life threatening.

Exercise also releases endorphins. It is proven to lift your spirits and I don’t think there is a greater high than seeing your hard work pay off. Drink water, be active, keep toxicity away from your body. Invest in your body because it’s the only one you have. Take care of it and it will take care of you.
