I guess C. From senior year (1996) to 2014, I've always been at or around #180, 5'10", so short and on the stocky side.

I've always been around food and had a metabolism that helped with that aspect. However, I never overdid it with portion sizes and snacking.

But then, when everything went south on me, I started drinking alcohol and eating a lot more. At the time (July 2024) when I attempted to sober up, I was at 220 and even lost an inch in height. Right now, I'm back at 200 pounds, a little over a year from quitting alcohol. I want to be back at 180, but like they say. The older you get.... well you know the rest.
