As someone with a bad sweet tooth though, I will admit food withdrawls are one of the worst things you can go through.

Well, they say sugar is very much like a drug unto itself - highly addictive and hard to cut out, so yeah, I can imagine people with a really bad sweet tooth experience such withdrawals.

I’m just trying to burn off all of my covid/pretty much everything that pooped the poop out of 2020 that made me stress eat weight gain, so yeah.

Like those Milano cookies easily put the weight on you. I checked my scale and….. yeah, I was close to 150 again. 😕

What I wouldn’t give to be 150 again. People say I don’t look fat, but I am heavy. Part of it comes with age, part of it was eating a little too good.
At least I still only have one chin.

Looking back on it, I can definitely say my eating habits as a teenager were incredibly poor . . . but it also didn't help matters much that I think my mom kind of enabled it. She would always say, "Don't worry, it's a normal teenage thing, growing bodies need more food." Yeah, probably not the wisest thing to instill into a growing boy; I'm paying the price for it now.

I can’t stay in this range as a 5’2 man. I gotta be in the early 130s at least.

The BMI index doctors use is a little misleading. I’m just under six feet, I’m at 208 pounds, and not one of my doctors see anything wrong with that.
The heaviest I ever was, back in 2016, I broke my ankle (shattered is more like it) and off my feet for the better part of a year. I topped out at 238. That scared me to death.

I felt like Homer Simpson, when you get so heavy you can’t wear clothes anymore, only sheets.
