I wasn’t exactly the most attractive guy around, carrying all the extra weight I had put on ever since that friend from my preteen bus-riding days had introduced me to junk food as a basic food group. I was weighing in at around fifty-five pounds overweight. "Obese" would have been a more-than-polite term.
