Nowadays, if people in their twenties and thirties see someone weighing over 400 pounds, they inevitably consider them as a real-life “Snorlax”, as having such a huge weight is also uncommon in daily life.
If a couple both weigh over 400 pounds, how many people would actually turn back to look at them? In reality, there is such a couple, and their combined weight reaches 800 pounds.
Being extremely obese naturally brings many inconveniences to life. This couple also has worries because their excessive weight prevents them from having a lovely child like a normal couple.
In order to have a child, they started to lose weight with determination. In a year, they successfully shed 400 pounds of weight. Have they fulfilled their wish of having a lovely child now? The troubles of being overweight
In today’s world where looks and physique matter, many people sweat it out in the gym for a good body figure.
The key to weight loss is nothing but “control your diet, move your body.” It sounds simple but implementing it reveals the real challenges.
Admiring others’ slender legs, well-developed chest muscles, or a six-pack abs, many have fantasized about having such a body figure.
However, while ideals may seem great, reality is stark. Many struggle to adhere to the six-word commandment of losing weight and achieving a good physique demands consistent exercise.
Most ordinary people only dream but fail to practice. To exercise daily, one must sacrifice evening rest time or wake up early for workouts.
For today’s youth, early morning exercises are deemed unrealistic, let alone exercising after work. After a day’s work, returning home leaves no motivation for physical activities.
Furthermore, maintaining weight loss success requires long-term commitment. Failure to maintain it leads to weight rebound, similar to “China’s first obese” Wang Haonan, who lost 480 pounds through stomach surgery followed by relentless workouts.
However, the weight rebounded, though not to the previous 600 pounds, it still increased to over 200 or close to 300 pounds.
Wang Haonan’s continuous weight loss was due to earning through weight loss videos and live broadcasts. Unlike regular people having regular jobs, weight loss was his occupation, making comparisons irrelevant.
Weight rebound is not exclusive to Wang Haonan. The story reflects vividly on a Sichuan couple, Deng Yang and Lin Yue.
They met while losing weight, but post-marriage, they indulged excessively, leading to a weight rebound nearing 400 pounds. Though they made efforts to shed weight to have a child, one wonders to what extent they have succeeded now? New bed collapsed
In 2013, Deng Yang and Lin Yue entered into marriage. Although both were plumper compared to others, they could still lead a normal life.
However, post-wedding, without parental control, they indulged in overeating and gained more weight. Since both were obese, they did not mind each other.
Deng Yang’s excess weight was due to parents overfeeding during childhood, resulting in uncontrollable weight gain. His weight brought ridicule in school, located in rural areas where cycling was the norm.
As weight continued to grow, Deng Yang’s bike couldn’t support his massive weight, leading to its collapse. Due to weight issues, he had to drop out of school.
Lin Yue had a different story from Deng Yang. Her father was slightly overweight, and she might have inherited the obese gene leading to her weight significantly surpassing peers.
However, unlike Deng Yang, Lin Yue was not low in self-esteem due to weight. She was cheerful, aware of her excessive weight, often restrained her diet, and exercised to curb weight gain.
Deng Yang and Lin Yue met at the gym. Deng Yang, in his twenties and ready for marriage, hadn’t attracted any girl due to his obese frame.
Not only that, but even at work, Deng Yang faced rejection for the same reason, prompting him to take determined steps towards weight loss.
With a plan in place, perseverance was key. Deng Yang followed the doctor’s advice, controlled his diet, and began working out at the gym.
Due to his large weight, Deng Yang could only walk on the treadmill, but the results were excellent, effectively curbing his weight and watching it gradually decrease.
One day, as usual, Deng Yang came to the gym to exercise and saw Lin Yue, whose body was similar in size to his. Due to the close weights and the shared goal of weight loss, they began exercising together, like long-time friends, conversing endlessly and benefiting from each other’s company during workouts.
In this ambiance, romantic feelings blossomed, leading to their marriage. Both sets of parents were delighted to see their children in love, as arranged marriages were exceptionally hard for obese individuals.
The parents anticipated that the weight loss journey together would induce mutual supervision to control weight and return to a normal lifestyle.
Unfortunately, post-marriage, both indulged in heavy eating, and the weights surged.
Due to their continuous weight increase, the new bed couldn’t bear their massive weight, collapsing. Fortunately, the house wasn’t as fragile as the bed, withstanding their weights.
Otherwise, their weights would have crushed one layer after another. This led to a dramatic scenario where the affectionate couple couldn’t share a single bed, needing two beds in one room.
Such a sight is truly rare in reality. Buying a new bed shortly after marriage might mislead others to think they already have children.
Currently, to lose weight for childbirth.
With ever-increasing weight, both individuals reached around 400 pounds, making it impossible for them to fit on a single bed.
The problems caused by obesity also afflicted Deng Yang and Lin Yue, with issues like organ compression, breathing difficulties, particularly severe for Lin Yue, who couldn’t sleep well due to respiratory problems, hormonal imbalances, and more.
For newlyweds, having a child is essential. However, for Deng Yang and Lin Yue, childbirth became a luxury.
Although obese individuals can conceive, the risks greatly increase, posing harm to both the baby and the individuals themselves.
Obese individuals face increased physical stress during pregnancy, making them prone to conditions like hypertension, heart diseases, premature birth, affecting the fetus in various ways.
To have a child, Deng Yang and Lin Yue began their weight loss journey, trying various methods in a year – acupuncture, sauna, gym workouts, with their focus always on weight loss.
Due to their higher initial weight, they found weight loss relatively easier. Within a year, they successfully shed 400 pounds. After examination, Lin Yue met the childbirth criteria, but their weight loss journey continues as pregnancy causes substantial weight gain for women.
Although Deng Yang and Lin Yue have faded from public view, they must have welcomed their child, entering a new phase of life, striving for their child’s future.
The experiences of Deng Yang and Lin Yue highlight the immense burden obesity places on the body. Maintaining good health is crucial for life.
Despite technological advancements and economic prosperity, don’t forget the importance of bodily health. A healthy body enables more moments of joy, understanding life’s essence better. Moderation in exercise, balanced diet, improve yourself – that is vital!
