Sometime between age 16/17, I went from beast to sexy beast. I've always had the same physical structure, hair and everything. I guess the one thing I did was go from wearing loose t-shirts and baggy jeans to well-fitting shirts and slim/regular-fit jeans.

Hm, I have that problem too. No even junk, just big dinners and lunches.

Lots of things done at different points in my life (mostly college or late in HS):

1) Started taking care of my hygiene
2) Started buying nicer cloth
3) Hit the gym
4) Made sure not to wear the same cloth two days in a row

stopped abusing drugs...

sometimes i'll look at pics of when i was on the sh*t and i looked like death, malnourished, pale.... i ended up in jail, detoxed, and worked out constantly and really toned up...

im 5'10, and when i was using i was about 185, i bulked up to ~200, my complexion got way better, im in pretty good shape now, i can bench ~250 now and i feel a million times better.... that alone went a LONG LONG way...
