M, 6’-2” / 213cm
2016: 300lbs+ / 136Kg / 21.4 stone. Shitty eater, didn’t know what a calorie was, basically.
2017: cico and run to 205lbs / 93kg!
2018: maintenance & running
2019: maintenance to 220lbs & running. Old back injury resurfacing
2020: discover weed at 39, dive in deep, blowing through an ounce a week. 240lbs at peak, back pain, refuse all narcotics. pt three times a week, get off weed and replace with alcohol 4-6 drinks a night, basically everything goes off rails. Didn’t leave bed except to use restroom in December due to back pain. . . .
2021: Back surgery in January, 3-4 bourbons or g&ts a night in February, PT once a week - I can walk again! 1 or so bottles of wine a night or g&t with low-cal tonic March 1-2 drinks a night, started running again after all-clear from doc
Last week: no drinks Sunday-Wednesday! Ordered some juniper berry extract. Two glasses wine Thursday. 3-4 glasses on Saturday.
Which brings us to today, Sunday. I had a regular gin and diet sprite. Not too much, just a normal 150ml pour. After that I was still thirsty but I have sight of my goal now.
I fixed a diet tonic over ice. Four ml lime juice. One ml juniper berry extract. Is it a g&t? No. But it’s 20cal vs 250cal and I’ll live longer.
Tastes and feels pretty fucking fantastic. It was just a detour. A shitty detour through a shitty part of town full of terrible things but I’m back on the sunny road again.
TL/DR: fatty loses weight, fatty gets some back again, fatty hurts back, gets addicted to weed (as much as this is possible), quits, boozes instead, back on track.
