How much does the fattest person you have ever seen weigh? How has his life been affected by this?
In the beautiful city of Harbin, there lived a young man named Li Chao. He weighed more than eight pounds when he was born, and when he grew up, his height and weight were even higher than ordinary people. In the second grade of junior high school, Li Chao's weight reached more than 200 kilograms, and later it soared to 510 kilograms.
What happened to make him gain more than 300 pounds? What adverse effects does this weight have on his health and life? Can he change the current situation and successfully lose weight?
Li Chao’s growth history
Li Chao was born in 1988. Because his family was in business, his living conditions were much better than those of ordinary people. In addition, Li Chao was the only boy in two generations, so he was treated badly by his family after his birth. People's favor. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Li Chao wants, he will basically get it. Li Chao has shown an unusual love for food since he was a child, especially meat products.
When he was in the second grade of junior high school, Li Chao's height had grown to 183 centimeters and his weight had increased to more than 200 kilograms. It was only then that Li Chao's family realized that he might need to lose weight. Li Chao feels that weight loss is a fashion, so whether it is acupuncture or other weight loss methods, he is very cooperative. But after all, this method cannot last long, and it has not changed Li Chao's nature of loving meat, so he will continue to gain weight as soon as he stops.
However, despite Li Chao's huge size, he is very flexible when it comes to hip-hop dancing, and he has even developed it into a career.
Li Chao has been interested in literature and art since he was a child. By chance, he became very interested in the dance being performed on the TV, so he searched to see if there was any hip-hop dance performed by fat people. Unexpectedly, it really happened. In this way, he slowly embarked on the road of hip-hop dancing.
Street dance requires strong flexibility and strong expressive power. Thin people can do the same movements more easily, but Li Chao needs to spend four or five times as much time practicing. Even so, Li Chao did not give up. With his strong perseverance and serious attitude, Li Chao also worked as a dance choreographer and music DJ. Later, he often participated in performances and became a slightly famous Internet celebrity.
Street dancing brought a different feeling to Li Chao's life. At the same time, it also brought him a sincere relationship.
To this day, Li Chao still remembers the scene when he first met his wife. She wore an orange windbreaker to watch Li Chao's performance, and asked for a photo as an excuse to get closer to the two. During chatting and dating, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up, and within half a year, the two entered the palace of marriage.
After getting married, the couple was very loving. Li Chao also gave up his hip-hop career and instead helped his wife to do business together. The first two years should be Li Chao's happiest time so far. But the good times did not last long, and an accident happened. This accident also became the turning point for Li Chao to gain weight.
Changes in Marriage
In the first two years after their marriage, the couple's business did relatively well, and there were no conflicts in their relationship. After another two years, the business gradually cooled down, and eventually I owed a lot of debts. At most, I owed four to five million.
The huge debt has suddenly increased the pressure on the couple's lives, and some small things in daily life may also become excuses for quarrels. Li Chao's wife could not withstand the pressure and finally filed for divorce. Li Chao loves his wife very much both before and after marriage. In three years of love and marriage, he has never asked his wife to cook a meal. Now that his wife insists on getting a divorce, he reluctantly agrees.
Separation from the one he loved deeply, losses in business, and a hip-hop career that he could not return to. This series of blows made Li Chao lose the motivation to live a good life. Because he was afraid that his neighbors, relatives and friends would see him in such a state of desolation, he never went out during the day. At night, he went to the bar to drink and get drunk. He wanted to numb his nerves in this way.
After one year, long periods of inactivity and a reversed day and night schedule caused Li Chao's endocrine system to become disordered. His weight has soared from more than 200 kilograms before the divorce to more than 500 kilograms now.
Li Chao's huge weight made him look like a bulging balloon. Even his mother who went out to work was shocked when she came home. After learning about her son's experience during this period, his mother Sui Shuping felt distressed and worried, because at this time Li Chao was already a severely obese patient. Obesity brings him not only inconvenience in life, but also health problems.
Adverse effects of obesity
In terms of small things at home, the only things Li Chao can do are brushing his teeth, washing his face and eating. When he washes his hair, without his mother's help, he will get water all over his stomach and clothes. Even for things like putting on socks and shoes, which everyone does every day, he needs his mother's help. As time passed, Li Chao felt stressed, but his weight of more than 500 kilograms made it difficult for him to move, let alone help his mother with housework.
In addition, the strange looks from the driver and passers-by were also very embarrassing for Li Chao. What's even more outrageous is that after almost every driver pulled over Li Chao, he would tell other drivers not to pull over that fat man in the future. Passers-by will also pick up their mobile phones and secretly take photos in invisible corners after seeing Li Chao. Although Li Chao knew in his heart that this was all because his obesity was too "conspicuous", this kind of experience is not easy for anyone to accept.
Excessive obesity not only puts great pressure on Li Chao, but also makes his mother Sui Shuping very worried.
As his weight increases, a good night's sleep is a luxury for Li Chao. Due to the accumulation of fat, Li Chao cannot lie down or sleep on his stomach. This puts a heavy load on his heart, and even breathing is very difficult in severe cases. difficulty. At the same time, he was unable to turn over and would wake up up to a dozen times a night. Without enough sleep, Li Chao's mental state became worse and worse.
In addition, when Li Chao was still dancing in hip-hop, his legs and waist suffered many injuries, so his waist would hurt after taking a few steps, and his knees would also feel pain because he could not bear the pressure.
Mother Sui Shuping feels even more heartbroken every time she sees her son in pain. In fact, Li Chao, who has reached this level of weight, also understands that he should lose weight. But he felt uncomfortable every time he didn't have enough to eat, so when he got emotional, he would forget about losing weight, and sometimes he would even blame his mother for not letting him eat.
Li Chao's father suffered from two cerebral hemorrhages. Although he saved his life, it can be said that he completely lost his ability to work. And Li Chao is unable to go out to work in his current state. This means that the entire burden of the family falls on the shoulders of mother Sui Shuping.
Seeing more and more wrinkles on his mother's face and a lot of white hair growing out, Li Chao finally made up his mind: he must lose weight! So, can Li Chao, who has experienced countless failures, succeed in losing weight this time? Can he return to a normal life?
At this time, Li Chao's weight has reached 510 pounds, and he needs a more professional weight loss treatment team to help him. Therefore, under the introduction of an acquaintance, he and his mother prepared to go to a hospital in Changchun for treatment. On the way to the hospital, Li Chao experienced another pain.
Because he is obese, he has to occupy more space than others no matter what mode of transportation he uses. He feels uncomfortable in a small space and makes others uncomfortable. After experiencing the hardships on the road, Li Chao finally arrived at his destination in October 2016 and officially started his weight loss journey.
When he first entered the hospital, the doctors were surprised. There were not many examples of obese patients like Li Chao being treated in their hospital. In order to provide comprehensive weight loss treatment for Li Chao's physical condition, doctors at the hospital first gave him a full-body examination.
After the examination results came out, it was found that Li Chao already suffered from high blood sugar , high blood pressure , fatty liver , high uric acid and other health problems at a young age. Then a set of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture was formulated for him. Mainly , a weight loss program for external use of traditional Chinese medicine and fire therapy. In addition, in order to untie Li Chao's heart knot, there are also specialized psychologists to provide him with psychological counseling.
In this way, Li Chao gradually became full of hope for his future life. In addition to the necessary daily acupuncture and fire therapy, he would also consciously go to the gym for a slow walk.
With the joint efforts of everyone, Li Chao successfully lost part of his weight and became cheerful and confident. He used to dare not even see the sun, but now he has hope of living a good life. He has also made many new friends here.
For Li Chao, losing weight is for his own health, and also so that his family will no longer worry. He saw his mother's support and concern for him and kept it in his heart. It is precisely because of this that he cannot let his mother down.
He told everyone his weight loss process and thoughts through live broadcast. Excessive obesity is not good, and proper weight loss is very necessary. As his weight gradually decreased, Li Chao also regained his passion, which is hip-hop. Although he still looks like a "fat man" in appearance, everyone affectionately calls him "the most flexible fat man in history." I believe that with the support of his mother and his own persistence, Li Chao will one day successfully lose weight and become the healthy, sunny and life-loving version of himself!
Summary
Many times, we cannot resist our love for food, and we are often dizzy due to the pressure of life, but this does not matter. Think about the families who love us, think about the good things in life, and we can’t let obesity stop us. Therefore, we must develop healthy living habits. We must not overeat or sit still for long periods of time. Only in this way will we not let our lives be dominated by obesity.
