What do I say when it comes to my weight? Tired? Lethargic? Don't want to take care of myself when I absolutely need to? Well if these are words that you don't like to hear than I apologize in advance. My name is Andrew and I have been working on this weight loss thing for 6 years in the running. Okay okay its been more like 14 but who's really counting? I come from a long line of skinny and healthy family members so how did I end up this way? good question young padawan. Sit around the metaphorical campfire and listen to the tale of my life from the time I was a young lad, to the time I decided to get off my *** (notice how I didn't use a single letter there? yeah that's skill) and did something about my weight.

I take you to my birth back 25 years ago to be exact. I was born on April 29th 1993 in a hospital, in a small town called Pontiac. I was originally supposed to be born on my mom's birthday May 2nd, but I was just ready to welcome the world with my awesomeness that I came a few days early. I was a very sick baby even though it took a few weeks for my immune system to kick the bucket and I was "blessed" with meningitis. How sad right? I mean here I am a few weeks old and my parents and the doctors don't even know if I'm going to survive to my first birthday. This is where my weight gain comes into effect. I was a very very hyper kid growing up, and the doctors had put me on a specific medication for the seizures that were caused by the meningitis that I had at a few weeks old.

Skipping a few years forward....

My doctor decided that when I was in the third grade to raise my dose of lamictal (I don't even know how much) just enough to make my weight shoot up from 90 pounds to 130 pounds. Yes you read that correct, my weight took off like a rocket and I had gained 40 pounds between 3rd and 4th grade. I was already at the age of 9-10 years old becoming a shy, un confident introvert that no one wanted anything to do with. I continued to gain weight between 4 and 5th grade and I was 150-160 pounds at the beginning of 6th grade. If you wanna hear some interesting stories, wait until you read about my middle school years. Pretty much all that happened in elementary school was the occasional bullying session where loser people who ended up nowhere good today, but what do you expect from a bully?
