A Healthcare Perspective

One of the reasons why I know that I must loose weight now is due to my educational and professional background. I'm a Registered Nurse with an additional degree in Public Health Education. If there is someone who knows about the perils of obesity, it is me.

At work every day I see how the women who are obese have a much more difficult postpartum recovery. In my continuing education for public health, I read articles about how even small amounts of weight loss have dramatically positive impacts on communities.

How can I expect to help others live healthy lives when I'm not doing it myself? A healthier me is the first step to a healthier nation.
