I have fought my weight since I was 6 years old. Since weight is a problem in my family, I believe some is genetics. I also have been classified as having big bones (which means, I can carry more weight before I start resembling Miss Piggy). And even now, I am in the midst of a weight loss journey (helped by my friends at Blubber Bloggers). I have 91 pounds to lose and have lost 41 since Thanksgiving.
But here is a person who has the exact opposite problem. He is 22 years old and has just hit the 100 pound mark! And had to consume 6500 calories a day to do it! He is a medical mystery and I can only begin to imagine the problems this has caused him! |
