One of the first things you hear when you step onto a college campus is the dreaded freshman 15.
Ive seen plenty of people go up multiple sizes in just one academic year.
And honestly, its no knock on them.
Its easy to fall into that trap.
When you live like that, those extra 15 pounds sneak up on you fast.
I thought my days of mindless eating were behind me after college.
But, oh boy, was I wrong.
If you think the freshman 15 is bad… youve clearly never experienced the Football Forty at Barstool Chicago.
Every week, I can see my stomach growing, inch by inch, like a ticking time bomb.
I feel like the Grinch when they strap him to a chair and force-feed him until his belt explodes.
At this office, every football stream feels like Thanksgiving.
And yes, its as amazing as it sounds.
Now, dont get me wrongIm not complaining.
Im incredibly lucky to call this my job.
Staying on top of your health during football season in this office?
Honestly, Id bet that not a single person here has lost a pound since Week 1.
Before the season started, I was in the best shape Id been in four years.
I hit 190 poundsa personal victory I was really proud of.
Fast forward eight weeks into football season, and Ive ballooned back up to 205 pounds.
Call me soft, call me undisciplinedI dont care.
This isnt my fault!
This is what the Football Forty does to you.
