The Lowest Point...

| SERIOUSLY!!!! |
2000- I was living in Rhode Island and went to Cranston East, I loved it, I played Volleyball, Basketball, and managed the girls vball and bball teams! LOVIN LIFE... Sophomore year i quit basketball for the DUMBEST reason, Shirt vs. Skins...I became super self conscious, i was about 340 (huge, but i hid it well) Then we up and left RI for Ohio... this is when the spiral began.. When I moved back, even though i grew up with all of the kids, it seemed they forgot who I was, I felt like the new kid in school, even though I knew everyone, Got a little depressed...but what ever. In 2004, wow i packed on the pounds, i ballooned up to 425! I didn't play sports, didn't do anything sports related, Nothing but eat...I was the biggest kid in Cuyahoga Falls High, i was the BIG GUY, who really couldn't fit in to any real group, so I made my own one :) Senior year was defiantly better than junior year, some friends came back, some didn't, no biggie!
Prom was fun, I went with a bunch of my friends, but trying to find tux in my size, should have been the wake up call i needed, but i guess I wasn't ready! 5xl jacket, 64 inch waist , 23 inch neck, oh and I'm only about 5' 9.5'' lol try to find that at Men's Warehouse (hahaha) i did have some fun!
After graduating I moved to Tampa Florida to go to Saint Leo University! Holy cow, They raise 'em small in Florida, i was surrounded by Thin, Fit, Gorgeous people, and here i was, all 425 pounds of me, i remember I had to take a few placement tests, I DIDN'T FIT IN THE CHAIR :( off to a wonderful start! But for some reason it was the athletes of Leo that became my good friends. By the end of Freshman year i gained another 20 or so, Freshman 20 don't judge lol...
Sophomore year it started, my freinds were there to help me start getting healthy! I would play tennis from sunrise to sunset, golf, soccer, volleyball, you name it i was doing it. I BECAME SOCIAL! in 3 years of doing this, i dropped down to 320! BUT ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END...
MOVED BACK TO RHODY...(yes i know i move like its my job)
