From Jeremy, Age 17

Ht. 5'3", Start: 362 lb, Today: 384 lb, Goal: 120 lb - Okay, so everyone who read my last post and gave advice thanks. Just so you know, I've tried to get her to change her eating habits slightly and I've talked to my mom, but Jessie won't budgeon that. I didn't think it was possible, but I can tell now that she is noticibly eating much more than she usually does. And here's the kicker... she went to the doctor yesterday, and she's up 22 pounds from her last weigh in, which was a little less than three months ago. And the doctor talked to my mom about her weight, but I think it just went in one ear and out the other, seeing as afterwards we went to McDonald's and Jessie ate a ridiculous amount. And the docotrs visit was such an ordeal. Just walking into the building had Jessica panting like a dog, and red in the face. She is so UNBELIEVEABLY out of shape. And she definitely turned some heads out in public. You can't ignore someone that big. I feel so bad. I'll continue trying to work something out, but right now it feels like Jessica will most definitely reach 400 before I can do anything. Since she's eating a lot, even for her, and she's having more and more trouble moving I feel indefinitely those last 18 pounds will just pile on, mayb within the next months or two. I just hope that she'll still be able to walk. I'm trying to prepare myself for her reaching 400 pounds, but if she can't walk it will just tear me apart. And I know her weight has already taken world's biggest toll on her. She lost her last few friends this year, because she's not much fun to have aroun really. She's to big to play games, and even walking around a mall or shopping center has been out of the question for awhile. My mom is going to homeschool her this coming year, because her last school year was so terribly difficult. I pray that maybe I can help her. But all that seems to be happening, despite my effort, is Jessica getting fatter and fatter and fatter. I don't think there is anything I can do to stop it...
