Struggles with obesity. Barriers to weight loss.

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hello, my name is Lou I am a registered nurse and a baccalaureate nursing student. I am interested in learning more about your experiences with obesity including challenges you have faced with access to healthy food, adequate intake of recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables, getting the recommended amount of weekly exercise, and health conditions you may have that may be related to obesity or exacerbated by it. This will help me understand the real life challenges of patients that struggle with their weight and I will use this information to better care for my future patients.

    The good news is healthier foods are cheaper. The bad news is healthier foods are not as filling or as nice to eat as non healthy foods.
