GamerDude talks about being heavy when he was a kid, being rewarded with food, and how that impacted on his weight and his ability to socialize in school. He talks about the social anxiety he suffered with, and how growing up as the fat kid meant that he was always perceived as a fat kid, even when he was no longer fat.He also talks about how he came to the decision in high school to lose weight. The decision wasn\'t made easily and the process took time, but GamerDude talks about how and why he did it, and how the effects of being a fat kid stay with you throughout your life.'
