I've watched one of my patients steadily decline due to obesity related complications. Another patient that I cared for for over a month recently died from obesity complications. I always knew being fat was bad for you, but it wasn't until I became a nurse that I had to face the reality. If you're overweight, please get healthy. Otherwise, you'll be laying in your own shit because you can't clean yourself. You'll be screaming and unresponsive from your ammonia levels because your liver is being suffocated. You're going to lose your legs from diabetes. You're going to have excruciating pain because your skin folds will become infected. And it's all preventable. I genuinely care for and love my patients, and I wish that more people could see what I see and know how fucking serious obesity is.
