How I Went From Fat to Fit and Why You Should Too
By BrianCJ1123
If someone were to tell the 16 year old me, that at over twice my age then, I’d be in shape now, let alone competing for a feature in Muscle & Fitness magazine, the response would have been an admixture of dismissiveness, indifference, & perhaps even ridicule.

High School, High Blood Pressure, Etc.
Although the high school years are a ripe age for idealism & whimsical dreaming, concerning the future, personal health stats then did little to breed such opportunity, given my flirting with almost 250lbs, not to mention both high blood pressure & cholesterol.
Ironically, when my physician broke this discouraging news to me, there were at the time, local news reports of 2 high school students (athletes), that had fallen prey to heart attacks, & died prematurely as a result. Coming to grips with the fact that, apart from coerced gym class participation, the only exercise I engaged in was maneuvering the elbow to put food in my mouth, & therefore a fatal cardiac blow, having taken these young football players, was certainly not outside the realm of possibility for me. Therefore, the visceral response to this immediate problem was of course, to “go on a diet”.
Six Flags “Weight” Adventure
Having been overweight most of my childhood, the first experience I had with food intake modification began in the 2nd grade. This arguably, was the best “diet” I was put on by a clinician, given that, apart from a prescribed appetite suppressant, the primary tool stressed for losing weight was portion control. Although a simple solution, it is one likewise easily hidden & forgotten under the pop culture of diet pills, magic potions, saran wrap girdles, & other such microwave fixes.If anyone like me, has had any experience with dieting & substantial weight loss, they’re probably also familiar with the “roller coaster” effect that often comes with it, esp. long-term. After the shedding of weight during my grade school years, there followed the “skinny euphoria”, whereby the hapless & undisciplined victim falls prey to the “I can eat anything now!” mentality. Fast forward through this time, & you’ll stumble across my middle school years, wherein other (questionable) clinicians were sought out, not to mention a brief stint with the Slim-Fast diet. Ultimately, these brought me to high school age, at which point, the only “loss” was my interest to tackle the problem altogether, as both my appetite & waistline expanded. That was of course, until co-morbidities came knocking at the door.
The Scare Diet
As with anything in it’s prototype phase, there is ofttimes, a laundry list of mistakes & kinks that warrant ironing out, over the passage of time. The radical shift in my food intake at 16 was certainly no exception, as it was what I like to coin, a “scare diet”. As you recall from above, I was triggered by the doctor’s report of my having high blood pressure & cholesterol, and as a knee-jerk response thereto, went on a “dietary exorcism”, to cast out the “unclean” victuals. The power of fear, COMPELS YOU!!!
Egg yolks: high in fat & cholesterol (albeit the main source of the egg’s nutrients), & therefore were the devil, for about a year’s time. Egg whites only. Cheese: another demonic entity – high in fat (namely saturated), & therefore was the perfect “cocktail” for a heart attack. It too was blacklisted for roughly a year or more. As an aside: one silver lining to this Pharisaical regimen was my waning passion for baked goods, sweets, candy, & the like, which (in my opinion) offer no real nutritional benefit, apart from stimulated taste buds.
Ultimately, while losing almost 100 lbs (coming down to 150, from 247), I still had not gained an appreciation for enjoying “bad foods” in moderation, nor retained the discipline for portion control, as I did during the span of the diet. Remember that neighbor, “Skinny Euphoria”, I told you about earlier? He dropped in again during this time, although not with the same vigor, nor outfit as he had before. And now, we segue into the fitness aspect of the journey…
The Gym Addiction Begins
Not having been particularly athletic, outside of Tae Kwon Do classes in my pre- teen years, it was approximately 40 lbs into the “scare diet”, that my aunt formally introduced me to the iron & rubber jungle, that is the gym. Going back to the motif of that “prototype phase”, I initially started by following her lead on cardio machines, & with the impetus of natural curiosity, moved on to explore the more strength-based/muscle building aspects of the club. From this time forward, I became hooked onto a salubrious habit, that being now in my early 30’s, I’ve
unregrettably not been able to “kick”.
May The Co-Opt Be With You: Juneteenth Ice Cream, Via Walmart

Notice the trademark symbol behind Juneteenth, as if that's some market term, & wasn't already a holiday, specifically relevant to Freedmen Americans. Also: on the far right side of the jar, you can just make out the words, "Our Story". Funny: when did Walmart/Great Value products become owned by "us"?
As another astute friend on Facebook pointed out: do they have ice creams to "celebrate" via co-opt, the historic tragedies/triumphs of other groups? Any Holocaust Edition ice-cream sandwiches? Trail Of Tears Tea? But I digress.....
