The World's Fattest Boy Goes Back To School After Shedding Weight.

A child said to be the fattest boy in the world has gone back to school after a strict diet helped him walk again. Arya Permana plumped up to a massive 30st 23lbs before his terrified mother put him on a desperate exercise regime to try and save his life.

The ten-year-old was so overweight he spent most of his time lying down - and wasn't able to walk, sit or play for any length of time.

His ever-growing giant frame had left his helpless parents with so much anxiety that they put him on a strict diet to stop him from bloating even further.

But with a dietician's advice, a new healthier diet and strict exercise regime in place, Arya has steadily begun losing weight - already shedding five kilograms in just a few weeks.

He can now not only sit but also walk to his school and play with his class mates.
