Hello Miss Fat Pants!

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

I can’t believe I allowed myself to get this fat. At 5′5″ and 199 lbs, I have never weighed this much in my entire life. I’ve always been one of those fat kids and I don’t know why. Was I lazy? Did I eat too much? I don’t remember having a pre-occupation with food until [...]
