Towards the end of June I was floatin up to just over 300...clocked in about 305. as i mentioned in another thread i stepped on a scale and was like "nuh uh, fuck that, I'm not Chris Farley." I was just so sick with myself for letting it get that far. For a year up until that point I barely exercised, drink at least 3 beers a night, and was blowin thru a zip of trees every 3 weeks. then i'd eat out, just huge sandwiches and pizza and pasta and sushi and burritos and banh mi's and tortas...u get the point. Then if I didnt eat out, I'd get off work at midnight, not feel like cooking, and just went with the Tony Soprano special. I'd kill a baguette with like half a block of cheese and some prosciutto, followed by some hostess cupcakes or some other junk food. Shit was the fast track to bein a total fatass.
Maybe the pinnacle of my fatness was waking up in the morning with some black shit smeared all over my sheets, like SMASHED into my sheets and smeared across my t-shirt and pillowcase. I was like "wtf, is that dirt?" and I lift the covers and there's an empty box of cupcakes and all the empty wrappers. I truly had become Gerald Garner from Heavyweights. Too many blunts and strike outs (hit o weed, shot of bulleit, chug of beer, exhale) and I had been eating them shits in bed and passed out and flattened those muhfuckas into my sheets.
Since moving in with my girl in July, who's vegan, I've dropped just over 40 lbs now. Down to 260, which is incredible for me, since I haven't been that in probably 5-6 years. I eat a whole lot better, cut out soda, drink way less, like maybe once a week, work out 5 days a week and am not smoking. (which is its own feat. I've been clean for 4 months after smoking daily for over 7 years.)
I've always been athletic, played sports my whole life, but I let that shit go and will never do that again. I feel way better and shooting to get down to 220 by March.
edit: worst "breakfast" habit ever. before starting my shift, I'd have no food at home and was too lazy/hated my dirty kitchen (roommates) to ever make anything, I'd buy a donut, a bagel with cream cheese, and either chocolate milk or a huge thing of juice. every day. I havent eaten a donut since then (june.) thank god
