During recent years, tremendous efforts were made to combat the issue of obesity. Health care professionals warned of the danger of obesity and its negative effects on the individuals’ health. Policy makers sensed the heaviness of the issue and its impact on the economy. Relentless efforts were made by governments, medical experts, researchers, health care team members and even individuals to address this matter. Yet, the statistics reflected a constant increase in obesity trend throughout the country. Sharpe (2013) reported an increase in adult obesity rate to 27.2% in 2013 compared to 26.2% in 2012, which claimed surpassing “all annual average obesity rates since… 2008”. It becomes indisputable that there is a strong relationship between obesity and a number of diseases including type II diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension and much more. Now that said, the question that imposes itself is that why the previous steps taken by all Americans, whether on the institutional or individual level, were relatively unsuccessful in decreasing the obesity rate or at least keep it steady? If awareness campaigns in health care facilities, public transportations and schools were moderately inefficient to lower the rate of obesity for the past years, what else could be done to alleviate the acuity of the problem? Is the problem directly related to individuals, health or education institutions, the whole society or a combination of all? As health care professional, patients’ advocates and educators, what is our role in bringing some positive changes to this matter? To what extent, could nurses positively influence their patients to address or even prevent them from falling in the obesity trap? This paper will explore the aforementioned questions and suggest possible interventions that might be considered by nurses in dealing with obesity in their daily practice based on current statistics, available evidences and resources.
