You will be much happier and live a longer life if you keep your weight under control. It will also make you more successful in life.
There are a lot of people out there very prejudiced against overweight people. Much injustice occurs but people don't usually talk about it. There aren't currently any laws to protect the overweight, many of which have either emotional, metabolic, or hormonal issues and cannot easily control their "problem".

Can I ask you is there a reason that you are gaining so much weight? Are you doing it because you are on the football team and would rather be a line backer then a quarterback? I am glad that you are comfortable with your growing size but am concerned for the reasons that you are putting it on. If you had put on 60 pounds already that is a lot weight for someone to put on in a short period of time. That could put a strain on your muscles especially your heart. I would just be careful and see what your doctor says. I am sure the worst the can say is that you need to lose some weight. Whatever happens I wish you the best of luck.

Being as big as you are now, can increase the chance of you catching diseases greatly. Its unhealthy as you know, but unhealthy not just your weight. Your breathing cycle is slower, you are increasing blood clot, and slowing blood flow to all parts of your body. And you can die. So a little advice for you, not to be mean or anything honestly, I suggest you lose back your weight because once you've reach to a great amount of weight in your body, your metabolism will decrease and you will become tired faster. And it will be really hard for you to lose your weight back to great long living years of health. And besides all that, it cuts your life in half, even smokers would have live longer than being obese...that's a fact! I hope you listen to my advice, and your mom's!! Enjoy.

i jus wonder if this has something to do with ur emotions maybe u r unhappy in some way or ur the funny guy but deep down u may feel empty i could be wrong as it could be down to your genetics what is even more surprising is that ur comfortable with the idea of gaining more weight i wouldn't advice this because in the end it will make u unhappy and u will begin to wish u were slimmer when ur weight becomes an issue.

If you want to gain weight, and you're happy with it, then that's your prerogative. However, please make sure you're monitoring your blood sugar, pressure, and cholesterol. You don't want to die too young, do you? But as far as I'm concerned, if you're not endangering your health, more power to you.
