Thighs, calves and feet

… of my biggest fan, who now weighs in at 680 pounds, down from a record 800 when he had an aggressive feeder in his life:

Life at 800 felt too extreme even for him, although he misses it in a way. It wore on his joints and he felt generally lousy. So the healthy foods he had previously incorporated into his diet (in massive quantities) — salads, vegetables — returned, and he lost some tonnage.

It takes remarkable discipline to keep up the caloric intake needed to sustain weight at these levels. This is why I have always likened my biggest fan to bodybuilders, whose discipline around food is rivaled only by his, and in a different direction.
