Reply from Kara, Age 13 - 03/25/01 I think it is really great that you are so confidant about your weight but being overweight does have serious health issues so don't try to gain more just to make a statement.
Reply from Ariel, Age 15 - 03/19/01 Your body is God's temple. Don't abuse it.
Reply from Renata, Age 13 - 03/18/01 are you out of your mind you can die of being so obese you should slow down and eat healthier, i'm big to i'm 150lbs and my friends except me the way i am too but i also have a friend with the same problem and were working on it together, you should seriouly lose some weight or keep it at a nice weight .
Reply from Jenny, Age 12 - 03/14/01 Are you crazy? Being seriously obese, like you are, causes very serious diseases! I think you should start to eat more healthier and then you will be a lot happier!
Reply from Karma, Age 14 - 03/13/01 Look Imi, in some situations, I do support you. But Annie & her mom are right. If you don't lose some weight, everyone will feel even sorrier for you because of your later problems. I feel the same way about "fat and proud", and I have done everything under the sun, and I'm slowly losing this weight I now hate. Looking good makes you FEEL good. But, only if you really do want to go on gaining weight and ending up around 400-500 pounds, will you later realize the big mistake you made.
Reply from Annie, Age 12 - 03/13/01 Imi, I showed your posts to my mum and she thinks - and I think I probably agree - that you do actually want some support and help, although you may not openly admit it. You have got so used to eating this much that it is just normal for you now. You say that in Germany there isn't much low fat food. Well, I live in England, not far, and the supermarkets are full of it. I bet if you go and look then you may be surprised and find something lower fat that you like. I can see how at your age your parents can't control what you eat and we all eat more when we are bored. In our house my mum stopped buying high fat crisps and bought low fat ones - and they taste the same, believe it or not. We had to educate ourselves, the whole household, and change our diet. It wasn't so difficult to do. My mum still had to go supermarket shopping so she just bought everything lower fat. I have a very, very sweet tooth so I didn't want to do without sweet stuff. My mum found some low calorie lollies plus low fat chocolate eclairs. A diet doesn't have to be painful. The next time your mum goes shopping, go with her and look at the lower calorie foods. The portions will be smaller than what you are used to and it will be difficult for you at first almost certainly. The people on this forum are very supportive of each other and if you change your mind and decide you do want to adjust the way you eat then I am sure people will be glad to offer advice, but if you are just saying 'I am fat and proud of it' then people won't be so sympathetic to you.
Reply from Imi, Age 15 - 03/13/01 Hi Annie, hi Maggs !!! I don't have any problems with eating lower-fat things, but there are two problems. First of all, I live in Germany and here it isn't possible to buy many low-fat products. Yes, there are some, but low-fat pizza or pasta don't exist in Germany. Second, I love to eat things who are fatty. Not because they are fatty, but because they taste so good !!! I love to eat McDonalds and other junk-food... My parents are still forcing me to eat less, but they acn hardly control what I am eating, cos both are working all day long. Sometimes I get bored and then I'm going to eat something or drink some milkshakes. I can understand, that everybody is a little bit shocked of me, but I am writing in this forum to get in contact with other overweight teens and kids. I understand, that you all prefer to be thin, but for me I decided to go on eating, because I love it. So are there any more solutions of our little problem? Have you any other tips for me? Please write back.
Reply from Mags, Age 12 - 03/13/01 I agree with Annie..instead of having a Pepsi, have a Diet Pepsi. They taste the same, but you get less calories! :) And there are some good less-fat foods..try nutrigrain bars, they are really good! :) I go out for lunch every friday to A&W or Dairy Queen and stuff like that with my friends. But as long as you exercise and eat healthy the rest of the week, I think it's okay to eat Fast-Food every once in awhile! :)
Reply from Annie, Age 12 - 03/13/01 Imi, We are never going to agree on this! My mum has made this dieting easy for me because I can still eat pizza and pasta and cakes but everything is low fat now and really doesn't taste any different. I don't feel like I am dieting. I had McDonalds last week with some friends and you know what, it didn't taste too good compared to the healthy foods that I have been eating. Maybe it isn't about quantity but quality. I do respect that you are happy as you and obviously your parents have tried to help you lose weight and failed but they should maybe try a little harder. Okay, you don't want to eat loads of fruit - boring I agree - but how about getting them to buy the food you like to eat but lower fat? I don't understand why you are writing into this forum. It is for people who want to lose weight and everybody is supporting each other. We are all a little shocked by you.
Reply from Imi, Age 15 - 03/12/01 Hi Emma !!! So, why do I want to get bigger? Why do I like to be so overweight? You know, at first, I really love it to eat as much as I want, that's a kind of liberty. I'm eating whenever and whatever I want: In the schoolbus, during the night in my bed and even in church. Especially I like eating loads of junk. And no, I do not feel unhealthy. I'm not the best in sports, but I can walk and play with all my friends without having any problems. If there will be ever the time, when I'll decide to lose weight, I will lose it, but in my opinion, it will never be like this. I want to get bigger because I like it to be fat, I would even say that I am proud to be as fat as I am. Yesterday I had 336 lbs, today I have 338 lbs. Yes, I am proud of myself. Do you see any reasons of not being happy when you're fat?
Reply from Imi, Age 15 - 03/12/01 Hi Annie !!! You see, you don't like dieting. I did it one time, when I was 11, because my parents forced me to do that. It was terrible, just fruits and no more steaks or hamburgers. Sometimes I am hungry in the middle of the night and then I go into the kitchen to eat some ice-cream or some sandwiches. All these things were forbidden. Either, in my opinion, I feel well and I look well, too. I even had a girlfriend two months ago. And my parents, they don't support me in the question of weight, but they do love me like I am. They say that it's my body, so I can do what I want. So I'll go on eating, now there are waiting some cheeseburgers for me... Can't you believe that it's nice to be fat?
Reply from Emma, Age 12 - 03/12/01 I guess your inclined to want to make yourself fat, because I guess it is your own body your doing it to. But why do you like being so overweight? Are you trying to show people that appearance dosen't matter, or do you just like eating loads of junk? What if you go on eating and eating, and then all of a sudden decide you do want to lose weight? It might take forever! Don't you feel really unhealthy as well? I respect you for not making appearance seem more important that personality, but why do you want to get bigger? I just don't understand. My brothers quite heavy and he really wants to lose weight, so that other people respect him more and n stop commenting on his appearance. I really don't understand why your trying to throw your life away on purpose!
Reply from Annie, Age 12 - 03/12/01 Imi Of course I don't like dieting but I want to be healthy and look good and right now that is more important to me then eating Mcdonalds every day. You know what I ate today for supper - sweet & sour chicken (low fat but delicious) followed by a chocolate eclair (again, low fat). You don't have to give up all the food you love, just eat lower fat versions. You say you may die at 70 and not 73. I think you are way off base here. People die of heart disease in their 30s and 40s. I feel physically better since I lost weight. I can wear whatever clothes I want and not be embarrassed and have to go several sizes higher. You say I sound like your mum, well maybe your parents should counsel you and let you know what a dangerous way you are going if you carry on like this. It really is dumb.
Reply from Imi, Age 15 - 03/12/01 Hi Annie !!! I understand what you mean, but I prefer it to be fat and to get bigger. I know, it's not the healthiest way of life, but it's okay if I die at the age of 70 and not at the age of 73. Life is fun!!! And I love to eat, so why should I stop? You're talking like my mother, but what about you? Won't you prefer to eat what you want or do you prefer dieting? Fat is fun !!!
Reply from Imi, Age 15 - 03/12/01 Hi Chris !!! So, why do I want to be fat? You know, I'm fat since I was a little child. My parents gave and give me the feeling of being loved, even when I'm fat. And I like it to be fat. You can't do all the things you want to do as fast as your friends, but you can eat what you want. You don't have to look always if you eat something fatty, drink as much Coke as you want and I'm eating five times a week by Mc Donald's or Burger King. I respect myself as I am, and I want to get bigger because I wanna become an actor or a sumo. So why shall I stop eating?
Reply from Annie, Age 12 - 03/12/01 Imi, I hear what you are saying about it not affecting your life at the moment. I also know plenty of bigger people who are fit but I am just saying that you also have to think of the future and problems you will have later on. Obesity often is very serious as you do get older. I know it is hard to think of that now and when you are young but you really don't want to be ill later do you? Of course you have the freedom to do what you want to do. All I am saying is get the right information to hand on what could happen later on and then make your choice. It is kind of like a gamble but the odds of getting ill later are very, very high.
Reply from Imi, Age 15 - 03/12/01 Hi Annie !!! I really don't have any problems at the moment. I am able to play soccer with my friends, I can run, not as fast as my classmates, but I'm not unsporty. I like swimming very much, in summer I will go swimming two times a week. So I don't have problems with all these things. I don't see any reasons why I should stop eating as much as I want. I know, 336 lbs is not the normal weight for a 15 year old boy, but I will go on like this. Are there any other reasons to stop this way of life?
Reply from Mags, Age 12 - 03/11/01 Look, you have to bring that weight down! I'm happy you have confidence and lots of friends BUT being too overweight can cause serious diseases like diabetes! I am concerned for your safety and I hope that you can realize the consequences of obesity before it is too late.
Reply from Annie, Age 12 - 03/11/01 Not good to be so overweight. You are heading for very big health problems when you are older. You want a heart attack, not being able to walk properly, being out of breath, you go ahead then but you will regret it later. At some point way in the future you may have kids and a partner. You want to see your kids grow up and you want to be around then? You are getting into bad eating habits very young. Very, very dangerous.
Reply from Chris, Age 14 - 03/11/01 aRe YoU ******* cRaZy!?!?!?!? Why the hell would you WANT to be fat? I mean, i respect the fact your not as self-concious like allmost all of us are (i wish i wasn't) but, that doesn't mean you have to take it to extremes like that...you also may have a change of heart (pun not intended) later on in life about that flab.
