Why b-day 2009 made me sick..or how I got fat again

To celebrate my day of mourning 2009..aka my birthday
I decided to indulge my grief and depression with all the foods I’ve successfully cut out of my diet. Allow me to explain. Back in 2006, I dropped from 317 lbs to around 238 lbs, or I went from size 44 pants and xxl/xxxl shirt to a tight 36 pants and large shirt. What happened after that can be summed up with one phrase..I F@#k up!! What I hadn’t realized was that I had cut back too far on my calorie intake. This was causing me to be exhausted. At the time I attributed this to my job and life style. What I did was swung back the other way and began to over due my calorie intake with fast food. It took almost 3 years but I had successful ruined one of my greatest accomplishments. How do you gain back 80 lbs? Easy: fried foods.

Back to my day of trying not to cry.
What I decided to do was to eat fried foods all day long. My thinking was this would make me happy, and my body could take it. I began my day with a early morning breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes, sausage, and eggs..(Shout out to Trell for the treat). After an 8 hour nap I went to lunch and ate a pork tenderloin sandwich and fries. After watching UP in 3-d. I indulged with a Oreo overload at Cold Stone, and than finished up with a 2 piece meal at Popeye’s fried chicken.
So how did I feel after all that? I really..really..really wanted to do this


What should you learn from my experience?
It is an amazing experience to go from craving those foods to wanting to shove a vacuum cleaner down my throat and removing everything from my stomach that I had just put in. Meaning I was sick.
Think about what you are eating and how it affects your body. For me the $4.00 value meals caused high blood pressure, cholesterol, and I’m fat again. Which means more money on clothes, it hurts my knees to run, and I can’t play the sports I enjoy because I’m way too slow.
The next time you have a choice between a $4.00 fast food meal and a slight more expensive health meal. Stop and think about how much you are really spending. And always go healthy. Your body will love you for it.

Thanks for reading. As always comments, criticisms, and observations are welcomed.
