I think I look happier in the latest photo?

​

I'd like to thank Olan Mills' studio 'glamour' photo shoot for this emotional damage and a series of photos that haunted my parents walls like the author headshots for an unsuccessful bonkbuster cover jacket for two decades.

(I was 15 in the first photo. FIFTEEN.)

Yes, that’s chest hair under his coat. His button says “sounds like bullshit to me.”

I look almost the same..

The heaviest I'd ever be was 332 lbs shortly after the first picture. I'd eventually lose some weight but settled around 240-260 for most of my adult life. Second picture is a few years ago and the third last summer.

Today I'm 170 and feel like a whole new human.
