I was what you would call "morbidly obese" when I was a child and through my teens. From age 18 to 19, I excercised like a gym freak and I changed my diet. Was it hard? YES! That's why people don't like to do it. Was it worth it? Absolutely! I lost nearly 100lbs and I've kept it off for 13 years. Anything worth having is worth working hard for.
Very true, andt that's a message a lot of kids aren't getting today.
My 12 year old is almost 250. She has a genetic disorder...there is research being done to see if it should be treated with a bypass.
