How did I get to be 400lbs?

How did I get to 400lbs? 

I know almost every fast food restaurant from Layton to Provo Utah. If you ever need directions to a Wendy's in Lehi let me know. If you want to find an Arby's in Murray and can tell you the location. I used to eat a burger as a snack. I could eat a bag of Potato chips in a day and once had a year where I did not exercise. I had a Banana once a week if that. French fries or Mashed Potatoes were the most common vegetable I would eat.. Here is a picture of when I looked my fattest.



How did I feel about myself? I felt that I did not get a few jobs or promotions in the past because of my size. I always tried to make a joke about it. I knew I was fat but did not believe I could be healthy. I thought I would be designed to a life of being heavy and feared I would die of a heart attack at the age 40. I was ashamed of not being better but I just embraced being fat as much as I could but deep inside I wished for a life of adventure, travel. outdoor activities, and being amazing.

In the next post I will tell you how I changed.

  1. WOW Devin, I had no idea. I picture you the way you looked in HS. I guess we all change, the good news is we can all loose the weight we put on and get rid of the baggage that made us put it on in the first place. I look forward to reading your blog and you are welcome to check mine out if you would like. Message me on FB if you want the address.

  2. Good blog post Devin but it was a little depressing, maybe that was your point. Anyways, I'm looking forward to your next post. You'll have to fill us in on the next post on what you've done to lose weight and what motivated you to do it. Fill us in on foods you avoid or now eat more often and the types of exercising that you do. Tell us more about the contest.
