I had a whole vocabulary I used about myself, and I thought it made me sound like a guy who didn't take himself too seriously.

I'd call myself fat, right out loud, self-deprecating, get the laugh, beat everybody to the punch.

I'd say, I like to drink a lot, like it was a personality, like it was charming.

I had a hundred of these little lines, and I thought they were harmless.

I thought they were funny.

They weren't harmless.

They were a blueprint.

Because here's what I didn't understand at the time.

Every time I said I'm fat, I wasn't describing myself.

I was instructing myself.

I was telling my brain who I am.

And the brain's whole job is to keep you consistent with who you say you are.

So it obliged.

It kept me eating like a fat guy, drinking like a guy who likes to drink a lot, and skipping the gym like a guy who isn't really a fitness person.

The story protected me.

As long as that was just who I was, I never had to fail at trying to be something else.

You can't fall off the wagon you never climbed onto.

Real convenient.

And it imprisoned me.

40 pounds worth of imprisoned.
