for the part and would get beat out every time by a thinner actor.
I'm a big dude; even when lean. I needed to drop muscle and doing that requires
starving. I was used to that because it was routine for me to do a 3 day fast to get
my weight down for wrestling. I would weigh 205 just 3 days before I wrestled at 185.
Fasting is not enough to make weight though. I used saunas for sweating off weight;
spit in a cup all day to remove water; wore a plastic sweat suit all day and if I thought
I need to, I would take Pamprin to make myself piss. It's the "water weight" that
actually gets you down to make the weigh in.
I probably could have eaten and still made weight but nobody takes that chance in
that game!
This stuff is so routine in high school wrestling that I never thought about it once.
But, beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sauna is no joke! If there is a place for you to die doing what I did then it's going to
be the sauna. Don't even try it unless you are in shape enough to run 3 miles without
being exhausted.
You will absolutely die!
My brother was there to watch me when I did the sauna and I swear I think he was
sweating more than I did about making the decision if I should go back in for another
session after not making weight yet. When he called it off,
I fucking listened!
So yeah, when my girlfriend called it off, I listened. I still think she was wrong but
it doesn't matter. Someone from the outside has to call it off.
You can't call it off, you are in full retard!!!!
When I mentioned the "acting breaks".....WOW, I got the kind of breaks most people
only can dream of. I just couldn't pull it off!!
NOT EVEN FUCKING ONCE!! 
I was the guy that people on the sidelines pull their hair out screaming :
"You fucking jackass! If I had your chance then............!!!"
So yeah, I felt that. I pulled out every stop I thought I had.
And I'm fully aware of the fact that what I did may not not even have been the answer.
But what would you have done if you had been handed
GOLD, multiple times in a
row; and all you had to do was shine it and it came out dull in the final moments
every fucking time.................?
Huh?
When's the last time somebody threw gold in your face and you dropped it?
That's where I was at that time; dropping gold...
And now I use food stamps???????
Damn!!!!!!!
I starved just as much waiting to get approved for food stamps.
So do I think I was stupid for not eating for 9 days??????????
Fucking NO!
