It's me

So I've been a lifelong fat guy, there are hilarious childhood stories about how my mother always had to have at least 6 cans of Crisco(tm) at all times. She was very good at making lots and lots of leftovers that we were supposed to eat or else she'd be unhappy.
I was in a bad car accident in 2008 and I got fatter than ever, plus struggling to learn to walk again wasn't fun being over 400 lbs.
Last year I snapped and finally started doing something about it, I'm down to 315, but I'm very solid, like a linebacker, not jiggly fat, more like "whoah, what NFL team are you on?" big.
I had always been a dancer despite my weight but there's always been moves I couldn't do due to my size.
So, that's a little bit about me.

    Thanks. I'll save the drama for some Kindle book I may eventually put out.
    Luckily for me I replaced a craving for grease and fat with a craving for sour fruits, I like to drink pureed tamarindo, unsweetened for example.
