Why I have "Fat Kid Inside"

So here's the deal.  I've been on a constant battle with weight loss for the past 2 years now.

A little backstory.  I've always been a fat guy.  I don't have a problem with saying that because I am, I'm comfortable with myself.  Anyway, I've always been big, however, 5 years ago, right out of high school my parents separated and later divorced after 20+ years of marriage.  Needless to say, I fell into a deep pit of depression.  I quit singing, stopped caring about school,  and took up smoking and drinking.

My days quickly turned into leaving school early to go home and smoke weed in the garage and eat 3 or 4 Snickers Ice Cream bars (which are AMAZING) and potato chips.

So, long story short, I quit the drugs, kept the smoking, graduated high school late, gained about 150 pounds, and am now a senior in college.

I have been doing this whole blogging thing for the past couple years on my myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/rifleeyes), and decided that I need to tell other people my story and have people struggling with weightloss express their concerns and stories as well.

So, each week I will be posting up my current weight (as embarrassing as it is), how much I've lost or gained, and just an overview of how my week went.  I hope you keep track of my blog as I think it can be insiring and will help me stay positive.
