Question by : Help Me!!!!!! I don’t know what to do!!!!!!?
I am a 14 year old girl, and I am 5′1″ and 240 pounds. And yes, I know that I’m showing signs of being morbidly obese.

I’ve always been fat, like since I was 6-7 years old. I’ve tried losing weight, but it won’t come off! My doctor made me go to a special fitness center, but I still kept gaining weight. Now he’s thinking about weight loss surgery! The problem is, I eat the same amounts of food as the rest of my family, if not less, and I’m as active as I can be, but I keep gaining weight!

I try to be active, but it’s not easy for me because I have extremely severe allergies and allergy-induced asthma. So, I can’t go outside for very long because I’m allergic to everything outside! Trees, dust, mold, pollen, cats, dogs, ect. You name it, I’m allergic to it.

I really want to lose weight! Do you know what it’s like to have to shop in the Woman’s Plus section of Walmart and get out of style clothing? Do you know what it’s like to stay at home because 1. your allergic to EVERYTHING outside and 2. because your embarrassed about yourself? Do you know what it’s like to have your doctor strongly advise weight loss surgery to save your life?

So, I want to know: Can the Wii Fit help me to lose weight? Because I’m willing to do anything that I can to lose weight!

Also, I’m showing many signs of Cushing’s Syndrome or hypothyroidism, like:

Fatigue
Sluggishness
Increased sensitivity to cold
Constipation
Pale, dry skin
A puffy face
Hoarse voice
An elevated blood cholesterol level
Unexplained weight gain
Muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness
Pain, stiffness or swelling in my joints
Muscle weakness
Heavier than normal menstrual periods
Brittle fingernails and hair
Depression

There’s a lot more symptoms that I have, but I don’t want to bore you with them.

What can I do? How can I tell my doctor my concerns? According to my mother, there is a history of hypothyroidism in my family. I’m only 14, and I want to tell my doctor, but I’m scared! How can I tell him my concerns about my body? Thanks so much!!!!!!

And PLEASE don’t be rude! I just need help!
Ok, I’m not afraid to tell you what I eat in a day. I’m being as truthful as possible. Here’s what I eat in a typical day:

Breakfast: A bowl of Rice Krispies with no extra sugar (I can’t stand extra sugar) and 1% milk

Lunch: Some sort of soup like Vegetable beef soup or tomato soup (because it fills me up better than other things) and a turkey sandwich

Dinner: Grilled skinless chicken about the size of my fist, broccoli, and maybe some corn (I try to avoid starches like mashed potatoes and noodles, although on Thanksgiving I don’t mind having some)

Snack: Usually no snack, but sometimes if I’m hungary I’ll have some yougurt or an apple.

Is there a website where I can find a safe diet plan for kids? I’m cyber schooled now, so I don’t have to worry about school lunches.

Do you think that a hypothyroid problem might be some of the problem?

How much does weight loss surgery in teens cost? I JUST WANT TO GET THE WEIGHT OFF!!!!!

Question by bluhh!: when i was little, i always looked up to my dad. i don’t think i can anymore and i hate it.?
When i was little my dad knew how to deal with me. He was always light hearted and kind. I don’t exactly know where his mind snapped. As i got older he started to get controlling.. he used to make my sister and i clean the house all day everyday..sounds like normal father behavior.. i remember pulling an all-night cleaning the whole house so i would be able to go out on a Saturday. Instead of letting me have my Saturday, he found more things for me to do and said “that was last night”

A few years ago my parents got divorced. They hate each other, and i’m fine with that. My dad re-married a woman with three children, three dogs, and two cats. I’m allergic to dogs and cats to the point that i can barely set foot in their home. I take medication, but i also have tons of food allergies and his wife tried to claim they were “in my head”. Iv’e had scratch tests.. so they are NOT in my head. One time she knew i was eating something i was allergic to, and didn’t tell me. Every time i see her she says “how are you feeling today?” after i tell her i’m feeling great, she pretends i don’t exist the rest of the time that i am there. She would never give up her animals for me, and my dad would never ask her to. Despite all this, my dad is my dad.. and i always try to see him. I tried to sleep over the other day, but i had an asthma attack and had to go home at 2 in the morning, to take a shower and get my breathing under control. Even after all of my efforts to show my dad i love him, he still always blames me for everything that happens with our relationship. His wife likes to pretend that she’s helping our relationship. The other day for his birthday, she bought him a gift for me to give to him. I always get gifts for my father, so the fact the she did that, made me upset. Like i don’t love him enough or something? i was offended, so i text my mom about it so i could vent a little bit. my mom text back and said “she’s an ass”. Later on that day, i left my phone in the bathroom. my father knew i had text my mom, and decided to read it, and when he was driving me home, he had the nerve to tell me he went through my phone. And instead of asking me why i felt that way, he also decided to tell me that he was turning off my phone. I’m really hurt that even though i tried to show him i love him, he did that. you know? That was just too far. You don’t do that to your 17 year old, and if you think there’s something you don’t want to know in someones personal things, don’t read it in the first place.

I remember one time we were at a gas station, and there was a man who stole money from someone. The man who stole tried to get away, but was knocked out by someone (i don’t remember how) and people at the gas station called the police. My dad decided to be “heroic” and went to hold the man down while the police were on their way. The man was still sleeping face down, and when my dad went to sit on his back, he started rubbing the criminals face into the pavement. Not Heroic. I have held that in for so long, and tried to block memories like this out of my mind, that i feel like i need to put this out there so i can try to “let go” of it instead. i don’t know why i tried so incredibly hard to have my father and look up to him. i was only able to when i was a little girl, and oblivious. i’m ashamed.
i’m not really ashamed. i guess i’m just sad. i haven’t talked to my dad for a couple weeks, and i’m not planning on talking to him anytime soon.

Question by NoDayButToday: Trying to rehome an 8 year old poodle with a seizure disorder (don’t want her going to shelter) Tips?
Not my dog but friend inherited a 4lb apricot poodle. The owners said she was a Tiny Toy Poodle. (Which there is no such thing as a Tiny Toy Poodle. So she is a bred down poodle. I’m too nice when it comes to animals, everyone always comes to me for help. She is living at my friends house but has had no luck in finding her a home. lost her Grandmother and in the will she got the dog but she can’t keep the dog. She has an extremely DA Amstaff.

Dutchess is a great little dog, she has a solid temperment. She is good with other dogs, cats, and kids. The problem is she has a seizure disorder and severe skin allergies. She is on a grain free food and that keeps the allergies in check. As far as the seizures go she is on medication. So we are going to be hard pressed to find a home for this 8 year old little poodle with health issues.

Any tips at all for finding her a home?

We want to avoid her going into a shelter at all costs, but I can’t take her (I have a pit bull mix, who is not DA but I worry about having a dog that small around and I’m not really a poodle person and am not comfortable taking her on) and my friend is having to crate and rotate with the poodle and her Amstaff until the poodle finds a home.

So any tips at all in finding this dog a home would be great/

We are trying to find a shelter that will post a courtesy listing as well. And we’ve put an Ad on Craigslist but we are both weary about craiglist. Also there is an ad in the local paper. And a flyer at the vets office
We don’t want her in a shelter environment.
