Im Michael, im 15 and weigh 450lbs, but to quote Dame Lauren Alesha Masheka Tanesha Felicia Jane Cooper (Catherine Tate) "I aint bothered!" I actually kinda like it...is this weird? My parents have tried putting me on several diets and i have tried, and i wouldn't mind losing a bit of weight, but im not sure i want to go below 430 - recently I've started to kinda like my body like this and am worried I won't be happy with myself if im any skinnier.

What should I do?

Hi Michael,

  We should always be proud of ourselves no matter how we look, but you are certainly over weight, obese for that matter. It's one thing to like the way you look but it's something else all together when you start to get sick. Obesity can and will cause you major problems, from breathing to heart failure and everything in between. You are just a boy and i feel sad for you. Sad in the sense that you think you look good. Wanting to get below 430 is not a diet either, nor is it healthy. The 20 pounds lost between the 450 and 430 is nothing but water anyway. I know it's a long road to "skinny land" for you but you have a ton of time to do it. I am a hugh fan of the Biggest Loser, so it is possible to loose a couple hundred pounds with a lot of excercise, proper diet and most of all, determination.

Your little heart has to work overtime for you. Granted, the heart is the strongest muscle in our bodies, but even that will get tired after a while. Your heart is doing double duty and is working overtime to keep you alive. I am sure you get out of breath at times, probably walking out to get the mail could possibly drop you like a fly someday. You are to big my friend. Listen to your parents and let them help you. They know what is best for you and being ridiculously overweight is not a good idea at all. Think about looking into therapy, liking the way you look is not normal.

My X brother in law weighed a wopping 427 pounds. He got a severe infection in his foot and they found it was due to a diabetic disorder, which by the way he did not know he was diabetic. (caused from being overweight) After a ton of meds and several stays in the hospital, they amputated his foot clear up to his knee. His other foot is always red and swollen and he has sores all over it, this is his diabetic disorder reaking havoc on his body. He will always have to stick himself with a needle, for the rest of his life, what's left of it. His teeth are rotting out of his head and his hair falls out all the time. His face is always bright red as he chugs along like a freight train. He is always winded and can't even speak to you until he catches his breath. He can't wear jeans so he flops around in sweats with the elastic cut from the ankle as he is to fat for them to fit him. He has hugh man boobs and has joked with us about not being able to find his penis. This is sad. He thinks he looks good but in his heart, he is unhappy. Everyone points and laughs at him, he can't drive anymore and he had to have a special toilet made for him cuz he broke so many due to his weight. The toilet is high, like a high chair. Once he sits down on a regular commode, he can't stand up. He pulls grab bars off the wall at least twice a month.

I could go on for days, but i won't. Listen....you must seriously think about loosing some weight, really. You will get frustrated and pissed and just want to quit, but don't. Think of your future. You are certainly obese and absolutly unhealthy. Start with a full checkup and talk to your doctor, you must.
