"I was 300 pounds by junior year, but I told myself it was okay-I played sports. That was the excuse I gave myself. My heaviest-at age 20-was 360 pounds, however, I spent the majority of college and my 20s between 330 and 340 pounds. I partied often, and hard, in college. I also ate often and hard ... I drank, ate junk food at all hours, and used tobacco multiple times daily. Id grown up a big kid; I thought I was supposed to be an even bigger adult. I overate, telling myself it was okay-that big guys like me are supposed to eat two Subway 12 BLTs."
