2000: 12 years ago I just finished drum corp and I was at 150lbs and in the best shape of my (at the time) life. I was doing 50+ pushups a day, waking up and marching around a field for countless hours and going to bed on buses, gym floors, taking ice-cold showers and barely eating anything that was edible/legally considered "food". I also remember eating a LOT of garlic (to try to spice up the cardboard that they passed off as food). I was also suuuuuper tan and lean. I couldn't lift a lot, though.
I was 17.
2002: 10 years ago I was in college at Berklee. I definitely got the "freshmen 10" or whatever, but not much more than that. The food was ok, the city was even better. I walked everywhere! I remember walking to MIT across the SMOOT bridge (funny story on how that got it's name) in Jan in flip-flops. That was the first time I thought "I'm kinda dumb for not putting on shoes". In Feb I (finally) learned how to swallow pills. I weighed 165. I was 19.
2004: 8 years ago I was living in Madison, Wisconsin. I just finished an unpaid internship working at Sony (fuckers) where all I did was eat ramen and cream cheese and saltines. (I wish I was joking). I did start eating different/new foods, but I could barely afford anything. In Madison, (my first REAL PAYING JOB!) I ate a LOT of mid-west food. (fried cheese, brats, etc). I also started dating Jim. I also started working stupid crunch.
I weighed 175-180
I was 21.
2005: 7 years ago- I remember wrestling with Jim in bed one time and I threw him off the bed (no small feat) and he grabbed onto my stomach fat.
I weighed 195.
I was 22.
2006: 6 years ago. I was still living in Madison, about to make the move to Seattle. I was depressed, in the worst shape of my life. I bought a house (worst mistake of my life), I ballooned to 225.
I was 23.
(I can't find this picture.... The only one I remember having is of Jim and me outside my parent's house. It's horrendous. Like 2 beached whales.)
2007: 5 years ago Jim and I did the "big breakup" where I decided to take a job in Canada. I also got in a car accident, moved to Austin for a bit and then up to Alberta to start my hellish job.
2008: 4 years ago- I started losing weight. (thank god). Canada's food tasted like cardboard, but it was "healthier" or something. Less HFCS. I also didn't eat a lot because I was working too damn much. (90 hour weeks for 9 months.)
