I'm the Small Skinny Kid

Every morning I wake up thinking that I am still short and skinny. Well, some people still may consider me to be short and skinny but without thinking about it, I envision myself to be smaller than average. In my head I think most people are taller than me. This is probably because I didn't hit the 5 foot mark till my junior year in high school (So most of my life I have been under 5 foot still). So most people that knew me before entering college probably also imagine me to be really short and skinny. This is justified, just look at the picture above! Well, Patrick may have been a little bigger back then, but the point is that I was ridiculously short. And if you look at my pants, they didn't fit correctly (What was I thinking without a belt?). I was extremely skinny!

I remember senior year, where I ate as much as I could to reach a "healthy" weight, like it was yesterday. This including delicious chicken salad sandwiches and carrots from a unknown source who exchanged his lunch for certain Calculus help. And then, the heavenly Thursday night dinners (Dinner Time!) definitely helped. To achieve my weight gain, tons and tons of tasty fast food was consumed, including Walt's Roast Beef (Best Roast Beef in the World!), BK, Micky D's, KFC, Spike's, and any other place you can name. For the first time in my life, I reached the triple digit mark, 100.

Ever since, weight gain has been a problem for me. I know it's a great problem to have since food is so savory and such. I know I should be thankful for this "problem" because many people would "kill" to have what I have. Maybe the second fattest city of Fort Wayne will help me gain weight. It has already but it's all muscle! I am now a solid size: Smedium, which is much superior to being just a small or just a medium.

How much longer will I visualize myself as a small skinny kid? I hope a while because it's always a nice surprise to be told I'm taller than someone especially my brother!
