    First month of university, there was pizza in the dining hall. Had it every day for dinner for a month, sometimes twice in a day it was so delicious. At (October) Thanksgiving I was the heaviest I’ve ever been gaining 20 pounds, with visible flabbiness in my waist that wasn’t there before.

    Consciously told myself to stop that entirely, and start eating vegetables. Was back to my previous weight by that Christmas.

      this was actually one of the defining reasons that I chose to transfer colleges. At my old one I didn’t have a car and nothing healthy was in walking distance (I’m talking within an hour’s walk), yes it was that small of a town. All I could eat was the dining hall food which was literally just pizza, tacos, cheeseburgers, pasta, and Panda Express. So I did that for 9 months and gained an unimaginable amount of weight.

      I remember one weekend I went home to visit my parents and it was a godsend to be able to eat a burrito.

        That definitely sucks. I was lucky that there were salad bars at my dining hall and a burrito place nearby.
