From Struggle to Strength: Arya’s Weight Loss Journey
Arya Permano loved food from a young age, and without much oversight, his weight quickly spiraled out of control. By age 10, he weighed 192 kg and struggled to move. Concerned, his parents took him to the doctor, where he was advised to start a strict diet.
But the weight wouldn’t budge, and Arya—bullied by peers and feeling trapped in his own body—knew something had to change. With dreams of becoming a football player, he agreed to undergo stomach surgery.
That decision changed everything. Combined with a better diet and regular exercise, Arya lost over 100 kg in just three years. Now healthy, active, and full of hope, he’s chasing his dream on the football field—and finally living like any other kid.
