I was very, very large as a kid and never athletic, and my home life was a little upside down and I never felt comfortable.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't feel that I really fit in anywhere. So when I was young I always had to prove myself through my sporting ability.
I was afraid I would see someone from my past who thought I was this big athlete, and then I end up being just normal.
I was as big as I have ever been. I had a personal trainer and was working out. I was feeling good. I was muscular. I had never weighed more than 155 pounds.
I wasn't athletic as a kid, and I was self-conscious about my body, but then in eighth grade I won a school contest, and the prize was a bunch of personal training sessions.
In many ways, I feel I'm still as physically fit as I was 20 years ago because I've always been athletic.
I was the tallest guy in the school, and I was very conscious of being larger than anybody - classmates and teachers.
Even when I was little, I was big.
I was always a mean and lean athlete - not tall - not large.
I was an athlete when I was growing up.
When I was growing up, I cheered and danced and ran and stuff like that. I'm probably thinner now than I was in high school. I had a lot of muscle - a lot of muscle in high school.
