Brian, I was only 230 lbs when I acquired the nickname but I grew into it reaching over 500 lbs after I hurt my back in 91. I've always been big but the nickname came from a friend that worked for me in 1999 as I guess I reminded him of a drill instructor and he nicknamed me after the song "Tiny Bubbles" which is a cadence song used for marching in the military. Little did I know that I'd one day grow to livestock proportions.. after I hurt my back the doc said if I lost down to 200 lbs he'd operate on my back ... I lost 170 lbs and then my worker's comp shut off and I lost access to my physical therapy and meds ... spent the next two years laying on the floor of my living room watching tv and playing video games to keep from going stir crazy where I got pneumonia and then a few months later Afib so I figured I'd better get up off that floor else I was gonna die soon ... started fishing below keystone dam and got in a little better health but I'd already gained all the weight back plus another buck or so. It was hard to deal with the injury and added weight gain but fishing sort of kept my mind off the pain and still does as it's the only activity I have that I can do and no zombie-out. fishing on top of a lot of morphine and percacets keeps me going. Not sure why I kept going on this history of me but that's sorta how I got over 500 lbs at one point ... back down to about 390 and have plateaued for a long while but plan on buckling down and getting another 100 off this year ... hopefully anyhow.
