Ok..... I guess a blog is where ya just ramble on about what youre thinking or doing. Well here goes.... I've battled with weight issues my whole life. I was the "husky kid" or the "big strong boy"... I was "FAT". Well now thats out of the way. Most of my issues came to the for front after my dad passed away when i was 13y/o.(my parents were divorced for about 10 years before he(dad) passed.) I had to be the man of the house, well in my eyes I had too be. I had my mom and two sisters to help take care of. So not only was i dealing with my dads death. I was also dealing with puberty in a house full of women! So i had a few close friends but I wasn't really a social butterfly. I would be the guy who liked to chill at the house with my family. Throughout Junior High and High School I was a good student but really missed my dad. Its hard to ask your mom .. "why do I get a hard-on?" Anyways lol.. That pretty much sums up my youth (JR and HS) Thats when i started to get "BIG" I was probably 250 by the time I graduated High School. ( I'd love to be 250 now btw). To be continued.....
