[QUOTE="GraceK, post: 312181, member: 47233"] I must admit my GP and my DN are both very slim, but having worked in several hospitals I've seen obesity rising amongst the nursing staff too and I think its generally down to the same thing as has happened to most people since technology became so prevalent - we don't move about as much as we used to, we don't need to exert ourselves as much as we used to - eg, even secretarial staff nowadays rarely move from their desks, they don't need to get up and dow to filing cabinets anymore, everything is on screen. Nurses aren't as hands on as they used to be, they don't do as many physical jobs as before, it's becoming very cerebral. So are brains are getting plenty of exercise but our backsides aren't!!! :lol: [/QUOTE]
