Just found this sub (24m, 556 lb)

Hey all,

I am 24 years old and I weigh 556 pounds currently. I just found this sub and figured I'd share how I got here.

It started, I guess, when I was still a kid. When I was sixteen, I weighed 280 lb. I never could stop eating. On almost all days I bought extra food after school, and almost every night I would sneak downstairs and get food. My grandma, with whom I lived back then, didn't really notice. And when she did she assumed we had just eaten it.

Anyway, I realized that my stomach was literally hanging out from under my shirt one day and I could hold it in my hands and it would spill over. I had to walk around with my gut hanging out like that all day, trying to keep my shirt far enough down. It wouldnt fit in my pants anymore, though it previously had.

Well, by the time I turned 17 I was around 310 pounds and the fattest kid by far in school. I wasnt really bullied, though,which is odd, looking back. My stamina went down and I remember when, during PE, I once literally couldn't run anymore after having ran 200 m. It was that bad. Stomach slapping against my thighs and I would get so out of breath. I knew i probably shouldn't but i kept eating like that, also adding more with my normal meals. Grandma never noticed.

Well when I graduated I was well over 340 and I couldnt do many activities anymore.

At some point I left my to study in a city a few hours away from my grandma's place, which was in a pretty small town. I got a dorm for myself (thats how it works where I live) and got studying. Now that my grandma was no longer taking care of me, I had the freedom to eat as much as I wanted

And i did.

I ate four meals per day and snacked absently while studying. I gained up to like 400 lb in a year and a half. At somr point I also switched programs so I am currently still in college. Anyway I kept eating and reached 556 yesterday. Well thats when I weighed in at that weight.
