If I Were YOUR Teenage Son What Would YOU Do?

26/07/2010 admin 7 comments

Heyyy there! i am ALMOST 18 & just got back from my doctors for a basic physical. My weight was a low 227+ My waist was but a 48 inches, chest 44, i am 5’10. AND have a BP of 142/101 & my body fat % is 31+

It was about a YEAR or so ago when i decided that i wanted to GAIN weight not LOSE it! At the time i was around 161 lbs. & was quite thin. So i decided to “pack on the pounds” per say…

Now a year, plenty of pounds, inches & marks later. i am changing that. Until now, i have not tried to gain OR lose any weight.

NOW i wear a snug 38 jeans. i have a fair share of “sexy” stretchy marks on my love handles/hips & quite a few on my inner thighs too! i also struggle to come to terms w/ the fact i cant do ONE situp! If i try i feel like im DYING!

Now i’m eating very little til 5 PM! Then i typically have an decent dinner & nice desert. At 10 i’ll have a big pizza or 2 burgers 2 liter of dew & top it off a binge of random sweets!

I’m 18 now, cant i make my own decisons?
Well some girlz like men BIGger… lol ;-p

It looks like you were making your own decisions way before 18. You are responsible for You. I can only advise that you treat your body with respect. Just remember that first impressions DO COUNT, especially when it could be the girl of your dreams!

you need to see a doctor to help you diet. gaining weight like that is not good for you. I am sorry to say this but you are FAT. you probably have a very high risk of heart problems, your liver has probably turned to fat, and you are twice as likely to get sick because your body will not fight infections as well as it used to. keep up this eating habit and you will be dead in 10 years or less.

you can make your own decisions, yes. But you could definately benefit from seeing a nutritionist. Eating big meals after 7 is not a healthy thing to do. I am not saying you need to loose weight. Wherever you feel comfortable is fine, but you need to eat healthier otherwise your habits now will create major problems in the future.

umm.. what did the doc say about your BP, that should tell you to lay off the fatty foods!!! your going to have a myocardial infarction(*heart attack*) before you are 20!

I suppose at 18 you can make your own deisions…..BUT if you are still in your parents house and on their health insurance, I would say you need to be a little more responsible. Granted, you probably won’t have any major health issues for a few more years, but you see my point? Anyway, WHY THE HECK WOULD YOU WANT TO BE FAT!!!!!!!! I am 18 and 6’4″ @ 170bs and I would never want to have any exra baggage. I can do much more being fit and slim (no offense) and I will feel better physically. The long term consiquences of being obese is not worth it at all! You may not agree with this, but God created you in his image and you are a special being so you need to take care of yourself! Just some things to consider.

Is the question really, what would I do if you were my son or can you make your own decisions? I will answer both…my son just turned 18, he had a waist size of 38 jeans, snugly fit. He could do 3 push ups at the time..not well, but he could. He has recently lost 40 lbs..his decision to do so..and now looks back at his photos of 5 mths ago and to him he looks like, I quote, “I stuck my thumb in my mouth and blew myself up. Stretch marks aren’t sexy..neither is man boobs”. He can do regulation push-ups and sit-ups…not bragging, I’m just saying this is your decision to make. How do you feel about yourself as a young adult in a man-eat-man world?

I let my son at 18, as a young adult, make that decision for himself. It’s up to you.

As a parent, I would suggest not eating at least 4 hours before bed…it gives heartburn, acid reflux problems, and lets the calories sit on your body while you sleep. You will need to change your eating schedule. I also would highly suggest you watch the movie “Super Size Me”. Any dietitian at your local free public health clinic could help you with an intake regime.

The real question is: what do you want to do with your body for rest of your life? It’s your call.
