I take ownership of my decisions. I got quite fat, and this happened to me because I ate a lot of food. Also, I didn’t work out at all. I’d eat a lot, then I’d go to sleep, wake up ravenous, and do it again. How did I get so fat? Well, if that wasn’t enough, there’s more!<\/p>\n
That cycle made me feel like crap, and to feel better, I would eat even more. It got to the point where I was eating just to see how outrageous I could be. It was almost as if I was trying to see if I could survive eating all that garbage back to back. I’m talking an order of pork fried rice with spare rib tips, and a box of pizza, all being washed down with a honey bun and a 2 liter bottle of soda! Everyday!<\/p>\n
This was obviously not a great way to live, and really put my health at great risk. I was prediabetic, and already on blood pressure medication. Next up would be diabetes, and potentially heart disease, and God knows what else.<\/p>\n
The pinnacle of my weight gain came after my dad passed, and I was shortly thereafter laid off from work. My life became a series of light daytime naps, long nights of binge watching season after season of my favorite shows, and many, many\u00a0sessions of late night eating. I was a glutton of the highest order, and I was depressed and sad.<\/p>\n
To make matter worse, I was binge watching Oz, which isn’t a great show to raise your spirits immediately after losing a loved one, and your job. \u00a0I was a mess, and I looked it.<\/p>\n
