Is it possible to be obese and have CF?

I am nearly 25 lbs overweight, and I hate it. I would much rather be a skinny cystic. I don't find it is fair that I don't fit into many clothes, and I'm supposed to be skinny anyways. But it partially comes from the fact that my whole family is overweight and obese.

Be careful what you want. Being skinny as a CFer isnt great either. My clothes dont fit, they hang off of me like a gang member unless I wear my daughters <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0"> I am 40 & shouldnt have to wear my 10 year olds clothes **stomps foot**

I also have NO cushion should I get sick. At this point in my health/life that isnt a question of IF, but WHEN so any given day a pound or even half a pound can be do or die. OK maybe a BIT dramatic, but none the less realistic

My CF doc wants me to loose 15 lbs. (And I don't doubt that once the 15 is gone he'll tell me to loose another 15!) <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I'm borderline pancreatic insufficient (got the gastro issues) but currently I am not taking enzymes. When I was a kid I was always skinny. Then I hit my 20's and POOF! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> I've got an appetite that never quits. That's my problem! ~Juliet

I am pancreatic insufficient and if I'm not careful with making sure I eat well,
my weight can drop a few in a matter of 3 weeks. I'm normally fine with eating three meals a day, but
some days are a struggle so I force myself to eat!

I use to know a girl who had cf (when I was a child) and she had a feeding tube down her nose,
that scared me into never letting my weight get to low. So from that moment onwards,
I have always pushed mysef to eat good healthy balanced meals.
