I was in my 20s, and I'm pushing 450.
My heaviest, I was, like I said, right around 439, 440.
Let's just say 440.
nine four yeah and um everything's functional like i said functional like you know what i mean yeah i didn't need a pill i didn't need nothing and then it just got to a point where it became uncomfortable where i started getting panic attacks i would i would wake up and i'm just like i can't breathe right i don't feel good and i'd stand up and i just i'd have to go outside i have to go outside and i have to take off my shirt and just stand there and just let the cold air hit me and um
I remember I was in Washington, D.C.
and I got hit with a really bad panic attack because I had a sinus infection and I couldn't breathe right.
And then I had that and I just had to run outside and it was snowing.
And I'm outside in the snow and I took off my shirt and I'm standing outside.
I look like a homeless dude on the street because I'm just standing there, no shirt.
But the panic attack was so.
No, nobody saw that.
But it was one of those things where it's like it was such a such a moment where it affected me so much.
And I still get panic attacks, but it really takes a lot for one to kick in.
But back then, because of the weight, it was just like that.
And then I said, man, all right.
So I started going to the gym, and I lost a little bit of weight, but it wasn't enough.
And then I wound up meeting a gentleman by the name of Diamond Dallas Page, DDP.
