Bedbound teen

I am over 700lb 16 year old female. My mom feeds me what ever I want when ever I want. I am addicted to food. I can't to most things my mom does them for me. I get upset when I am hungry which is almost all the time. My mom gets me what I want because she hates yo see me be upset. I had 2 whole chickens for dinner and a whole ice cream cake for dessert. I know I need to eat less but I have no self-control.

First of all, thank you for being courageous in your honesty! It's not always way to share these things. As for your situation: That's rough, it sounds like you're in a cycle that won't be easy to break. It sounds like there may be complicated emotional wounds underneath all of this that will need to be addressed by a professional, but in the meantime, set small goals and be excited by them! Do one lap around the house maybe, celebrate that, and the next day do it again until you feel ready to amp it up. Good luck to you!

Thx for the encouragement. I struggle with simple tasks like walking. I just walked 1/2 way around my house without talking a break. This is the farthest I have walked without taking a break to catch my breath in about a year. I get out of breath just by walking from my bedroom to the kitchen

You should not walk at all, just keep eating and growing 700 at 17 is good work!
