Sorry, cee. I had my answer thing up on top and couldn't see the whole name, oops. I don't know if anybody is tubby or not, I don't know you guys. And I don't know a blooming thing about Gemini in particular's life style. As a nurse, I tend to be a bit more critical of ones lifestyle because I see how hard it is to fix something once it's gone so far. It is much easier to stop it before it starts. Especially with children.
Honestly, I have a dear friend that has four children. She, her husband, and all four of the kids are obese. She's wonderful and I love her, but I have gone shopping with her, to Walmart, actually. She's always worried about her weight, her boys' weight, her husband needing knee replacements at 40 yr old, and her daughter not being able to get a date for the prom cause somebody made fun of her size. They're great kids. But...as we're walking through the store she's got TWO buggies full of chips, sodas, cookies, hot dogs, spaghetti-o's and nothing that resembles food. And that is just for the weekend. The two adults have a multitude of illnesses. The eight year old boy wears a 38 inch waist blue jean. And, yes, she is a nurse.
A lot of us, as nurses, get so frustrated at seeing these people we've tried all day to feed correctly, medicate, get physical therapy to teach them exercises, and a dietitian to help them eat right have family members coming in with buckets of fried chicken and Big Mac's.
I had one patient who was so large it took four nurses to get him off the bed onto a bedside commode. His brother and sister came in with a grocery sack of candy. Really. So, yes, we get frustrated.
I'm not, and was not, talking about people who are trying. I know how hard it is to not eat food that just sounds so good. But you have to make an effort, if not for your health, then for your children.
(I like a bowl of Chubby Hubby as much as anybody!)
