Gah. That's got to be so hard to see. Good on you for trying, bootz.

I had a friend who was well over 400lbs, and decided to get that shit sorted out. So he met with a doctor, and got some super basic education on calories. That's when he realized that a single Big Mac meal has half of the calories he needs a day. And he was getting two or three at a time. For lunch.

He started changing his diet too late. Died that year from basically an over-taxed system.

So if you get through to anyone on your lacrosse team, you have done good.

I can imagine your team running sprints for 20 minutes, out of breath, asking to stop, and you say, "Nope. You've only worked off the first three bites of that Big Mac so far. You have 4 more hours of running. Now GO!"
