I've never watched a BB video, never wanted to do a show. I'll diet when I feel I've gained weight. Barely ever step on a scale.
Fuck that, I love food on the Holidays. I have a big Italian family and it's go time for eating.
I'm like somewhat what joswift said. I start really training hard in the spring through the summer and into that fall so I look the best I can for the warmer days.
I still train in the winter months but I'm just maintaining not pushing hard.
