BMI of 57![/quote]
When I was working family practice I had about 50-60 women patients just like this. Same excuses and I was everyweek seeing them and trying to get them to be healthy. They DONT want to be healthy, their “illness” is there identity, fibromyalgia, arthritis to knees etc. I do NOT miss that shit, might as well bang your head against the wall all day. [/quote]
I used to work nights stocking the frozen food department at Wal-Mart. Two women would come in every night, close to this BMI and ride those electric carts up and down the ice cream section calling out flavors to each other trying to decide which one they’d get. It was never just chocolate or vanilla, it was always stuff like chocolate caramel cookie dough fudge swirl, like they were trying to kill themselves with it. They’d each get a carton of ice cream every night.
Obviously I’d get fired for offending them by giving unwanted nutrition advice, but I wanted nothing more than to scream at them to get out of the damn scooters and walk to the produce department that was one aisle away. The impulse was so strong at time I had to leave the area.[/quote]
Should left a frost message on the inside of the freezer door. [/quote]

(Spit My Food Out Laughing)
I deal with people like this everyday, they don’t want to change, that would be easy, they try to laugh off why they’re that fat and why they’re kids are too. I think it’s immoral that people can do things that are blatantly going to cost the nhs a lot of money and to try to stop them if they don’t want us to is breaching their “Human rights.” BS- what about tax payers human rights not to have to pay for people that can’t be bothered to look after themselves?
And while I’m at it, most of these people are too fat to work yet they have a lot more money than I do, and people wonder why this country is f*cked?! The only way I see is to introduce a compulsory health insurance, similar to car insurance, where your premium is decided based on how well you live, so it costs you more if you are fat, smoke, take drugs, etc.
