Extreme obesity

Not my thing at all. I already have health issues that are not fat related and it sucks when your body stops you from doing what you want! So if I start developing metabolic syndrome, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc, I will do my best to get it under control. If that means I never reach my goal of 400 lbs, so be it.

So far, so good though! My fasting glucose and A1C are normal, so are my lipids. My blood pressure is a bit higher than I'd like but not officially high. Part of that could be stress, part of it is the fact that I can't buy yoga classes or a gym membership right now because I'm trying to scrape up enough money to get my cat some expensive veterinary treatment.

As a feeder looking after my girl when things get difficult is part of the relationship... Always there to support.

My blood pressure is high, my cholesterol is high, I have type 2 diabetes and at my last test my blood sugar was through the roof and I have acid reflux from the weight of my belly fat. I'm well on the way to an early death and it's so hot

I promised myself that, when my gaining started causing health problems or my having to have special equioment, I would stop. Then I developed sleep apnea as a direct result of my weight and, instead of reducing my weight, I started using a CPAP machine and mask which took time to get used to but I depend on it now. I also ordered a bariatric hospital style bed as I found it easier to sleep with my upper body slightly raised.

So the promise changed. I would start losing weight and take my health seriously if developed a condition which meant I would be on medication for life. Soon after I was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome and have medication for high lood pressure and colestrol. So I stopped kidding myself and accepted that my choice to be morbidly obese meant that I would have related health issues which I should accept and embrace as I had done with every other aspect of being very fat. Since then with I have also started taking anti-inflamatories and pain killers for my back and knees.

I know I have a high blood sugar reading and am categorised as pre-diabetic. So I suppose I will have to accept that in all likelihood I will develop Type 2 diabetes. I suppose it comes with the territory.

😍😍😍, the last part especially

Most of my fat goes to my bum and thighs, is that unhealthy?

I want to be un healthy in every way.. Ive never had blood work done, probably never will.. Id like high cholesterol, blood pressure ect... Anything weight regarded id enjoy it... I don't care about the consequences one bit, not kidding

Since my wife used to be a marathon and track runner, I thoroughly enjoy her accepting her new identity of being fat; "running is not for me" "I don't really like stairs any more", etc.

But diabetes, high bp – I see guys online getting off to that. That's beyond the pale for me.

The very little in the way of study results I've seen that looked at mortality by degree of obesity didn't seem to see much impact up to BMI 35, but it steadily rose in higher tiers. And there are a number of health issues beyond diabetes and high blood pressure -- higher risks of various cancers, breakdown of the valve that helps keep your legs from swelling up, higher inflammation that increases odds of a number of other issues, etc.

That said, working in many jobs, binge drinking, smoking, etc all come with risks, and many people choose to live with those. It isn't like being fat is the only health risk that many people choose to accept.

I'd like to avoid any, if at all possible.

Being out of shape I can deal with.
