I started drinking Slim Fast for every meal, months at a time (PLEASE don't do that, as it will destroy your liver and perhaps kill you), and lost 80 pounds in a year. I became a bodybuilder. I read up on Arnold's Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding and started boxing, too. I weighed 185 pounds of pure muscle. At one point, I could deadlift 365 lbs. as my max. I let my hair grow, too. After that, nobody screwed with me, and if they did, they did it with a huge twinge of fear."}
