With all due respect, there appears to possibly be "other" health issues involved.

That looks more medical than dietary. My vote would be blood sugar (diabetes related) or heart related. Either way, it's a shame and an unfortunate loss. But there is more to that story than the Kung Flu.

I agree, it’s almost impossible to get that big, especially as a teenager unless you have some serious issues.

serious issues

Like an 8,000 calorie per day diet and sedentary lifestyle. I knew one like this in highschool. I was friends with him, but he's probably dead now. His family would invite me for dinner, and they would put on my plate what I would feed an entire family with. I was physically ill from trying to stuff that much hamburger helper in order to not offend them by not clearing my plate. He would then go for snacks a few hours later, which involved white bread with a huge glob of skippy peanut butter.

Yeah I was obese and its crazy how food can become your life. Being a child with fat parents feeding you unhealthy shit all the time must be rough. You'll see families of people this big get out of a van at walmart as it wobbles side to side as each one gets out.

There is a threshold of weight that cannot be explained by "muh genetics". The caloric intake just to sustain 600 pounds of body mass is insane.

I don’t understand how people afford to sustain that. My grocery bills are crazy, and we’re not eating all organic expensive food. I just don’t get where they get the money for it.

You're right to point out underlying conditions.

Regarding medical vs dietary, I believe like Hippocrates that food is medicine. I know for a fact because I completely changed my diet and my body completely changed for the better as a result. The same for my father. Unfortunately, food is a habit AND the Standard American Diet (SAD) sucks, so it's just too hard for many to make a meaningful change.

more medical than dietary.

It's as simple as Energy In vs Energy Out and anyone that tells you different is selling something. There's no such thing as a slow metabolism that can create fat out of thin air. That literally violates the laws of physics.

The (genuine) medical issue she might have is crippling depression coupled with compulsive over-eating.

Edit: Triggered some butter-golems with this one.

Fozra 1 point ago +3 / -2

This. No matter how many medical conditions you have, you have an energy output and an energy input. If your energy input consistently outweighs your energy output, you’re going to gain weight.

Not only that but crap parents. Parents should instill you with teachings so you can value your body and ability to freely move, and know how to eat healthy. The only way teenagers end up that fat is some kind of terrible health condition that makes them sedentary or else neglectful or abusive parenting. Many animals are intuitive enough that they teach their kids how to survive, what to eat and how to protect themselves, I don't know what the fuck is wrong with some parents.

She looks Native American. They are extremely prone for diabetes related illnesses. For those who don't know, diabetes depresses the immune system. Covid is very dangerous for compromised immune systems.

Such a weird thing. To an extent, weight is somewhat disconnected to health. E.g. you can be incredibly skinny and unhealthy, or very large and bulky with a gut and be healthy a la body builders.

But when you get to actually morbidly obese, hmm...

People above were saying that it could be heart related or diabetes related, instead of diet, but for either of those there is an answer: Keto. Keto for those with diabetes is really good and can turn you asymptomatic. With a properly managed ketogenic diet, you can also seriously improve heart health too.

So basically: There is always a way where you can improve yourself barring physical injuries; letting yourself get this large.. and at only 17.. is not good. The parents should have done a better job making sure that didn't happen.

Dunno why I'm ranting but just take care of yourself to some extent, you know? You can be overweight, but you should never ever let yourself be 150-300 pounds overweight. 😬

7
Frog_Anne 7 points ago +7 / -0

The parents definitely fell down on the job. I'm not sure how you even get to this size at such a young age, and we can only pray the poor girl didn't suffer abuse or neglect. Allowing your own child to get in such poor condition, unable to participate in normal activities, when you know she's being bullied and humiliated, is just awful. And now she's gone from a virus she should have been able to shake off after a couple days of sniffles, before she even had a chance to live.

3
BrokenBleu 3 points ago +3 / -0

A lot of children who get this size can be for various reasons, mainly stemmed from the parents. Most of the time the parents don’t eat healthy themselves, not educated on eating right or can’t afford the healthier option, so a lot of unhealthy food.

6
WishdoctorsSong 6 points ago +6 / -0

Healthy at a range of weights makes sense. At some point we reached a glorification of insanely low body fat percentages which can result in all manner of issues, particularly hormonal. HOWEVER 99% of the people with weight problems are over, not under.

PARSHALL, N.D. — Seventeen-year-old Elvia "Rose" Ramirez wanted to be two things when she grew up: an artist and a cat mom.

After completing her senior year at Parshall High School on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in the spring of 2021, she planned to marry her boyfriend of four years and possibly go to college.

But COVID-19 cut Ramirez's life short.
