I Keep Getting Fatter And Fatter

It's true. Because of my condition (hypothalamic obesity) I can't stop gaining weight. Surgery to remove a life threatening brain tumor damaged the part of my brain that controls appetite and metabolism.

I'm super hungry all the time. No matter how much I eat it never satisfies me. I'm getting uncontrollably fatter. Calorie restriction doesn't work (look it up), and is like torture to me. It takes all my willpower to limit my eating even to how much I eat now, which is about as much as what a normal 14 year old would eat.

Weight loss surgery could help, but I've researched it in detail and it basically just substitutes one set of problems for another. For me, the way I am now is preferable. My parents support my decision.

I am 559 lbs now. But it's okay. I'm still alive. I have accepted what happened and I am happy with my body.

As long as you're happy that's all that matters
