I may settle around the high 180s or low 190s, but I'll have to see when I get there. I was super active as a kid. I was always outside doing something. Biking, rollerblading, skateboarding, running, swimming, etc. The summer before 9th grade, I got viral meningitis. That caused me to have infected fluid in my brain and spine as well as brain tumors. I also started having seizures randomly. I'd just black out randomly, probably 3 or 4 times per year and have a focal seizure. Because of that, it wasn't safe for me to do anything I liked to do outside any more. So, I just got used to sitting inside and doing nothing. I was still eating a lot, though. So I started gaining weight like crazy in high school. I never learned how to eat properly until last year, so I had been gaining a lot of weight my whole adult life. When I started at my current job, I bought a scale and realized I was 442 pounds. I went overboard with not eating enough food, but lost about 45 pounds in 6 or 7 months. Then I discovered food delivery services and got super lazy. All I would do was order from restaurants every day and then lay in bed and eat. I knew I was getting heavier, but I figured I could just go back to what I was doing before and lose weight again. I stopped paying attention to my weight for about a year, then stepped on the scale on April 1 of last year and it said 445 pounds. I was angry at myself. I was heavier than I had ever been and was probably on the way to an audition for My 600 Pound Life if I kept doing what I was doing. So I went back to cooking all of my food again and started losing weight slowly. Then the crossfit gym I joined taught me how to eat properly and I've been losing weight much more rapidly since then. The seizures got more and more mild over time and stopped happening after about 8 years or so. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
