hey, i'm a 17 year old male who used to be reeeally fit until this summer... since the begining of this summer i have piled on 66+lbs. due to lack of exercise, binge eating, eating sugary foods & other issues such as my "urge to gain weight" which means i enjoy myself overweight & plan on continuing to gain weight...
yet i have noticed in the past month or so i have started getting chest pains. like when i climb stairs, eat ALOT or sometimes no apparent reason...
my question is, is this okay to be doin this?? i mean my parents & doctors say i MUST lose weight,watch what i eat & work out!but i'm like screw that!! so can anybody help me with this??
my current stats are 5'10 217lbs. up from 160ish a few months ago! i also have a rather round belly @ 46 inches which makes me look pregnant which i find quite amusing. i also have huge thighs which is an utter pain AND also man boobs "moobs" which are slightly unsightly but w/e keep in mind i was inshape a few months ago... thank ya

Like I said before, you need a psychiatrist.

I wouldn't suggest this course of action. When you are young, as you are, it is easier to loose the weight. As you get older your metabolism slows and you WILL naturally gain weight.
If you continue on this path you are damning yourself to obesity and it will be incredibly difficult to loose the weight later on without spending tons of cash to have it surgically removed, (many scars). Stay skinny while you can!
The chest pains and such are from carrying the extra poundage around that your body is rebelling against. Eventually this MAY lead to heart problems, asthma, sleep apnea, ETC.
Another big factor and reason for loosing the weight is that typically chicks dig a healthy well-built male over an obese one.

definitely not healthy you might just want to lose the weight and go back to being thin. what your doing is killing off your body. gaining that much weight in a short amount of time is not good you need to get some help and i recommend taking the weight off

17 year olds can have heart attacks... yes..
I knew a couple who had a baby and their baby was only a few months old and had a heart attack from a loud noise. It is possible. There's no age limit.

you are intentionally damaging yourself? i think there are more problems than just chest pains. please see a therapist and get help, or you might end up putting yourself into an early grave.

Is something ELSE going on (or NOT going on) in your life that has affected your weight? Please share with the group.
