Reverse Fatblogging

June 10, 2007 - Leave a comment...

I’ve read up on a friend who’s undertaken something called [tag]Fatblogging[/tag], where you announce to your readers and the world that you’re huge and want to remedy that. Theoretically, this means that if you start to slip, your friends and readers will bug the crap out of you until you’re forcibly hauled back on the wagon.

Well, I have the reverse problem. Here’s the before pictures:

I’m 6’5″ and at the beginning of June I weighed 160 pounds. Do the math, and you end up with someone with visible ribs even through a shirt.

So for the past couple weeks I’ve been pumping iron, choking down protein shakes, and eating about twice as often in an attempt to gain some muscle. I was too chicken-shit to post any photos until now, but I figure if I’m going to take this seriously I ought to.

After a couple of weeks there’s only a slight visual improvement (which is the real goal), but I’m up five pounds!

Maybe by the time winter arrives I’ll be ready to go to the beach.
