From Jeremy, Age 17 - 09/05/08 - IP#: 75.66.48.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'3", Start: 362 lb, Today: 438 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 123 lb - (P.S. In case you don't remember those stats are my sis Jessica's not mine...) I don't know why I'm posting. I've tried everything, and STILL my sis is just getting bigger. I feel so sorry for poor little Jess. She's SOOOOOOOOO big, and getting bigger still. She has limited moblity, and everytime I see her try to walk it makes me cry. Her clothes are spliting at the seams, but I don't know where to get them any bigger. I have to try and reinforce the furniture somehow soon, because it's pretty shaky from her immense weight. I didn't think it possible but she's eating about twice as much as she use to. She just packs away mounds and mounds of junk and my mother just lets her. And I've tried everything, but she can't move and she won't stop eating. She WON'T put forth any effort, and at this point she basically CAN'T lose weight. The doctors have told me the mile long list of things she's at risk for, and they say every pound she puts on at this point is just more time off her life. At this rate she won't make it to twenty. I'm so scared for my big fat whale of a sister, but I'm so mad too. She just eats and eats and eats, and then when I try to talk to her about her weight she crys and wants my pity, and I give it to her! But it's her fault she's as big as a house. I think I'm moving out the minute I turn eighteen. I loved her, but I refuse to sit here and watch her get bigger and bigger. I haven't been able to wrap my arms around my little sister in years and soon I'll be calling the fire department because she'll be stuck in a doorway. This isn't just killing her... it's killing me...
Reply from Jessica, Age 23 - 09/21/08 - IP#: 12.149.100.xxx Actually... we can judge if we want. This is the internet... and there is this thing called freedom of speech. I think if this person is fake it's horrible what he is doing. There are people who really do struggle with being extremely overweight and this is not a place to come and play games. I did not state definitively that the person was fake. I merely gave my opinion... thanks :)
Reply from Taylor, Age 15 - 09/12/08 - IP#: 74.177.40.xxx I don't think it's really ya'll's place to judge whether or not this person is real! I mean, ANYBODY on this board could be lying. This is the internet, that happens a lot. Ya'll should either shut up or try to help him. It's not your place to judge.

Reply from J, Age 16 - 09/06/08 - IP#: 132.208.24.xxx Listen, you need to call child services, NOW. Your mom is neglecting her daughter. Actually, if she's buying her tons of junk food, she's ABUSING her. This is a serious issue, not something you go to a little web site for advice for.
Reply from Jocelyn, Age 17 - 09/06/08 - IP#: 68.147.201.xxx Yeah aimee i see what youre saying about the craving thing. the only problem with that is she will just eat the other 1/4 of it. I think the best thing to do is to hide it 6 days of the week and then have 1 day where she can have as much as she wants. I know this may not seem very healthy, but you are actually supposed to eat over your calorie intake one day of the week because it reboots your metabolism.
Reply from aimee, Age 13 - 09/06/08 - IP#: 65.175.213.xxx I agree with Jocelyn, but if you try to hide all the junk food it might just make your sister crave it moree. So if you can try to hide 3/4 of it? that why if she craves junk food, she can have some, but she can't have over amounts of it. I don't know what kind of junk food your mom buys, or your sister likes, but maybe tell you mom to buy low carbs, or low in fat junk food, i live in NH, USA, and lately its been pretty hott, and that makes me want ice cream, to cool me downn, but my mom bought me fudgsicles, they are 40 calories per bar. I think they a good :] they not a rip off, like something are 40 calories, but the food is wicked tiny that you want more that just one. Maybe is there anything near your house that your sister likes to go see, and you usual go in a car there? Maybe you could walk or somethingg? Good luck!
Reply from Jessica, Age 23 - 09/06/08 - IP#: 12.149.100.xxx I gotta be honest. I don't think this kid is real. I think he/she uses this site as entertainment or for story telling. Something about this just doesn't read right. If you are real I apologize, but I just highly doubt it.
Reply from Jocelyn, Age 17 - 09/05/08 - IP#: 68.147.201.xxx You sound like such a loving and caring brother. If your sister does not want to cooperate and does not take her health seriously, the only thing i can think of that you can do wouild be to hide all the junk food. If she doesn't have access to it, she can't eat it. You could do that and you could go for walks around the block and make her come too. I really hope your situation improves though and that she starts taking her weight seriously
