Ht. 5ft7, Wt. 277 - ok, so I kinda don;t want to loose weight. I'm here b/c my parents want me to be skinny, not becasue I want to. I like my weight. Is there anyone else here that likes being the size they are?

Hi, I have 2 b cruel 2 be kind, you are obese and if you do not loose weight you are digging an early grave. Your Family dont want you 2 b skinny, they want you 2 be at a healthy weight so that they do not have 2 c u suffer with all kinds of health problems, then eventually.... Death. Sorry about the Harshness. However your confidence and self esteem is an inspiration. keep it up. you can email me if you want and i'll be your buddy. Michelle

and actually i dont like being the size that i am because to me its harder to get clothes that can fit me and almost all the ppl on my dad side passed away from diabetes and heart problems including my dad as well so thats why im goin to start losin some weight because i dont wana end up like he did

I dont think its the fact that your parents want you to be skinny they are just concerned with your health, Im sure they like u just the way u are but they just probabaly want u to drop a couple of pounds because as you get older you will gain weight and it increases the risk of highblood pressure problems and when u decide to have kids it could be worse and possibly decease at a early age but if u dont wana lose weight i mean thats u but u also gota pay attention to the health risks

its not about liking ur size, its about liking ur health. . being overweight can make u get bad diseases like diabetis, high blood pressure, heart probs, knee and hip joints probs, and other diseases to. . nobody here likes hurting their health. ~M~
