i used to be slim until i got ill. i have to take medication and it has made me put on alot of weight. not all overweight people are like that cos they eat too much etc. alot of them have medical conditions. when i see them, i always feel for them and hope they are happy and loved, cos that is all we really want. i am very overweight now but im ok with it. i asked my daughter how she felt about me and she turned around and said, i prefer u this way!  it can be an awful struggle for an overweight person to lose weight, just the same as its very difficult for skinny people to put on weight. we are the way we are. i never thought id end up being the size i am but i accept it. i am still me, there is just more of me to love!

Nope, you're normal weight. You can be skinnier, but you don't have a problem, you're not overweight.

You need to see a physician! You have a serious problem with your asthma. It isn't uncommon at all, but can result in death.

You might specifically ask your doctor if your weight is ok.  If he/she says its fine, there probably isn't anything to worry about.  If your frame is small enough, I guess its possible that your weight is just fine.

I would go talk to the football coach and tell him this, then over the summer work on getting in shape, he might be able to tell you some workouts to do.  Unless the coach is a total ass he will be glad to see you want to be on the team and will be impressed if you work hard over the summer to make it.  If he is an ass, well you wouldn't want to be on the team anyways then.  \n\nfor the asthma, there are many NFL players that have it.  I would also talk to your doctor to see if he has any suggestions for you.  \n\ngood luck!

No, but there are ways to control your asthma.  Try finding out what triggers your asthma, ie allergens, household products).  It is important to monitor your asthma and its severity using a peak flow meter, also make sure you take your medication as perscribed, like inhalers or albuterol txs.  It is important you monitor your asthma in order to prevent you from going into the ER with an exacerbation.  Talk to your pulmonologist if you have one or get one refered to from your doctor.

I did lose a lot of weight, over 100 pounds. And that helps with the asthma. I made a conscious effort to lose weight because I knew I could be happier as well as being healthier. I started by going on a diet a year and a half ago and I got a personal trainer, but I definitely have a healthier lifestyle now.

This is a very vague question -- it could be anything from anxiety attacks to asthma.  Go talk to your doctor, since even *mild* untreated asthma can be fatal.  Don't accept medical advice from anyone on here.

look it is really unhealthy for some one your age and size to be so worried about you weight. if you are over weight talk with your dr. just eat healthy and exercise regularly if you are insistant on losing weight but dont go too drastic because youll cause yourself to get sick and have long term health problems.
