Hi everybody. I am 13, 4 feet 11 inches and I weigh over 415 pounds. I have to have clothes specially made to fit me, because I am so short and so fat. I can hardly walk. Sometimes my legs collapse under me. A week ago, we had a school dance/sleepover. I was almost asleep, when the kid next to me decided to "have fun." he poked my stomach, and woke up all his friends. I pretended to be asleep, but they kept on slapping/prodding my stomach. The next morning there were post-it notes all over my stomach, back and sleeping bag. They said "Fattest kid in the world!", "Blubber", "Poke my stomach" etc. I tried to get them all off. People got them off my back and sleeping back, but they said it would be rude to touch my stomach, since that is what the notes said. I couldn't even reach them all! I have tried everything from dieting, stapling my stomach, and wiring my mouth shut. I just can't seemto lose weight!
