Arya Permana, an Indonesian teenager who once weighed 421 lb (191 kg), was so big that he had to take showers outside in a specially constructed pool. Although he has been labeled the “world’s fattest kid,” he proves that hard work and setting goals always pay off. Let’s learn more about Arya’s story.
The boy was dubbed “the world’s fattest child.”
Arya Permana is 15 years old and used to eat 5 meals daily, including rice, fish, meat, vegetable soup, and a traditional soy patty. It was enough food to serve 2 adult people, on average. The little kid had to stop attending school since he’d quickly run out of breath while walking. Because his parents could no longer find clothes that fit him, Arya had been wearing nothing more than a sarong for a long time.
But eventually, he decided to make a change.
Arya Permana changed into a much slimmer version of himself from a boy weighing 421 lb (191 kg). The Indonesian student has lost a significant amount of weight at just 183 lb (83 kg), and he’s even been motivating others to adopt healthier lifestyles. Ade Rai, his trainer, assisted him in learning about physical activity and a balanced diet.
Arya is now a symbol of hope.
His trainer said that Arya initially weighed 187 lb (85 kg) before his appetite drastically grew. Now he is slimming down without losing his spirit. Notably, among adults, this is a rare quality. He’s become a symbol of hope, and now people say things like, “Even Arya can lose weight, so why can’t I?” The kid combines a strict training schedule with a nutritious diet and medical care. Ade Somantri, Aria’s father, claimed that his son’s weight loss was made possible by medical care, a strict exercise routine, and a diet.
Arya used not to be able to stand for more than a few minutes at a time. He can now play football and other sports with his pals and walk to school after undergoing a major operation to reduce the amount he eats. And we are so happy for him!

My Husband Didn’t Meet Me at the Hospital Discharge with Our Newborn – When I Found Out His Reason, I Went Pale
When Sarah welcomed a bouncing baby boy, she thought it would be the happiest day of her life. But an unexpected betrayal shattered her world, leaving her devastated and alone. She packed her bags and left with their newborn, forcing her husband to confront his priorities.
A few weeks ago, I gave birth to our beautiful baby boy, Luc. It was a tough pregnancy, filled with sleepless nights and constant worry, but it was all worth it the moment I held Luc in my arms.
The plan was simple: my husband, Tom, would pick us up from the hospital and we’d start our new life as a family. I imagined him cradling Luc, his eyes lighting up with joy. That image kept me going through the hardest days.
The day of our discharge arrived, and I was buzzing with anticipation. I had Luc wrapped in a cozy blanket, and every tiny sound he made filled my heart with warmth.
I kept glancing at the clock, each minute dragging longer than the last. Tom was supposed to be here by now. I checked my phone: no missed calls, no messages. My excitement began to twist into anxiety.
The nurse placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. “If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call the hospital,” she said softly.
“Thank you,” I whispered, my voice barely audible as I stepped inside, feeling more alone than ever.
I needed Tom to understand the gravity of what he had done. My heart pounded as I methodically packed a bag for me and Luc. Each item I placed in the suitcase felt like a nail in the coffin of my trust.
Tom truly was a changed man. He stepped up and became the supportive partner and loving father I knew he could be. He never missed an important moment again, whether it was a midnight feeding or a precious first smile. His priorities were in order, and he made sure we knew we were his world.
