FAT & flabulous!?!?

Question

for the longest time i was always trim, thin & fit... yet in the past few months or so i've put on ALOT of weight!!! like i was 165ish now i'm between 206 & 217... most of the weight i have gained on purpose!! plus my fond love for sweets (which i binge on ALL the time) & my lack of exercise helps my "gaining" ;-)

anyway, i see my dr. soon & am worried. also, my all of my clothes have busted or are too tight it cuts my circulation. i am only 17 so i don't have any health effects besides my fair share of stretch marks on my inner thighs & side of my waist. yet, i just love the way my belly is so nice bein full & flabby!!!

i hope this is quite alright. becuz as i said i am perfectly content wit my weight... and plan to continue my weight gain!! becuz there is nothing better than flesh & folds on myself... or on another woman in my oppinion. so i hope to hear some invaluable insight on what you guyz think of this. for i'm not THAT overweight & i am quite attractive! peace erich ;-D

actually i'm a 17 yr. old dude.... sry...

becuz i LOVE myself this way!!!

seriously.

DON'T DO IT!!!!!!
You may not have any health effects now but you will. And it is really easy to put the weight on but a real b**** to get it off! 17 years old and stretch marks??? You are walking down a dangerous road.

Answer 3

As long as you love yourself this way more power to you! I'm overweight as well but not lovin it. Sounds like you have alot of issues that you're not dealing with. I hope that you don't get to the point where you might develop health issues in the future. Good luck to you!

Please see ideal body weight calculators below.

Before you start a diet and exercise program read the the following article: http://teenadvice.about.com/cs/bodyimage/bb/teendieting.htm

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get an online, desktop, or cell phone diet and fitness calculator. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

Here are two articles on how to break through a weight loss plateau:

http://www.webmd.com/content/pages/18/102117.htm

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier.
