After freshman year of college, being legal drinking age and going to the bar weekly after baseball and consuming multiple pitchers and 30 chicken wings, the weight started to pile on. I'm not sure at what point the switch flipped, but luckily I was able to realize how disgusting it was becoming and dieted down from 275 to 195. Currently my battle is between achieving the goals I have for myself, recovering from shoulder surgery, and avoiding the temptations college (partying, bad food, ect).

Confidence. From being fat before, I have very-low self esteem. I am able to re-build that through the hard work I put in.
