Bro, how do people get to this point‽ I fell into a fair sized windfall and laid on the couch for almost a year smoking and drinking myself into a stupor every night. And I never got even close to this!

    After the first year you are just getting started, you will need decades of commitment and sacrifice and you'll have to leave Debrah by the side of the road before you get there.

    It's also indicative of extreme liver damage

    Trucking is so bad for you. I did a couple of years and gained more weight than I care to mention. You sit in that seat for 16 hours a day. You tell yourself you're going to eat healthy and exercise, but by the time you shut down for the night you're exhausted. You eat a shitty carb heavy meal and sleep on it. Then you do it again.

    Really we need to let truckers do uppers again. This drug free attitude we've adopted just isn't healthy! JK about that last part. Kinda

    There’s this line in that new show I watched. The guy just gets dumped by his wife, goes like: « He needed to sit a minute…. He sat down 20 years » The scene hit like a brick

    (Can’t find it dubbed.. sorry 😅 https://youtu.be/yaw5pRm364U )

    Can I be real with you for a little? I got broken up with by the girl that got me to start working again. The moment I got into okish shape, she dipped. The ones I have met via the apps, have asked me to get back to my old self.

    I didn't know what that means, but I am far from someone who needs advice(even though I do need to lose a few inches from my waistline). But I don't need to be reminded! I do a good enough job of insulting myself.

    Sorry about what you’re going through 🫂

    From what I understand you avoided the worst of it, and for that you can be proud. It’s not an easy road.

    The clip wasn’t meant as a reference to your life, but to other people who get stuck in a moment for decades.

    How old are you, or were you? Not saying there are no younger people who pack on weight, I’ve just found it’s harder to stay in shape as I get older. And if you’re not trying at all, this can happen to anyone. Course you his guy may have always been like that.
