Imagine being too heavy to walk to school or even fit into clothes. That was Arya Permana’s everyday life. At just 10 years old, he weighed an astonishing 421 pounds (191 kg). Dubbed “the world’s heaviest kid,” Arya lived in physical discomfort and emotional isolation. But what happened next? It’s the kind of transformation story that gives you goosebumps—and maybe a little hope for humanity, too.
Arya’s size wasn’t just a number—it impacted every part of his life. He had trouble breathing just from walking short distances, couldn’t attend school, and had to shower outdoors in a specially-built pool. His meals? They could easily feed a small family. Five large portions of rice, fish, meat, soup, and soy patties every single day. But even as the food comforted him, his health was crumbling fast.

The turning point came when Arya—and his parents—realized he couldn’t go on like this. He wasn’t living, just surviving. They made a bold decision: get professional help. And that’s when fitness icon and bodybuilder Ade Rai stepped in. What started as a mentorship soon turned into a full-blown rescue mission that would change Arya’s life forever.
