REMINDER

From a nurse...
“As a registered nurse, I’d often see in my patients (and in myself!) the complications caused by being overweight and obese, but I have to say when I saw this I was amazed at the visual reminder. “

“This image shows a 250 lb woman on the left and a 120 lb woman on the right. We can see weight gain from the outside, but we usually can’t see what it’s doing on the inside. Look at the fat surrounding the organs in the woman on the left. Do you also see the fat around her heart and around her brain? A little scary, isn’t it? Look at the compression around the stomach and internal organs. Do you think that would have any impact on GERD and indigestion? Look at the compressed knee joints. Do you think those joints ache a little more than they should?”

WOW!!  That’s eye opening!  I see patients every day that are dying from diseases caused or worsened by poor choices and obesity.  Is that cheeseburger, chocolate cake, French fries, etc...worth it?

I WILL TELL YOU MY STORY TODAY..... JUST READ IT!

I was diagnosed of hypertension at the age of 28yrs when I was expecting my second child.Although my mum was hypertensive and I was at risk developing hypertension,I didnt know it could be that early.I was also obese(100kg) and was going through alot of stress at that period too.But I still didnt think of Pregnancy Induced Hypertension at that age.During my 8th month of pregnancy,I was rushed to the maternity OPD due to high blood pressure(150/100).I was seen by the doctors but all attempt to control my blood pressure proved futile.My blood pressure was just escalating(164/102) and they had no other choice than to perform an urgent caesarean section to save me and my baby at the 8month.It was a very terrible period for me.I thought my blood pressure could be controlled so that I go through normal delivery as my first child when the time is due.Hmmm....
