The following Twitter thread is one of perseverance and undying resolve. It is a testimony to all of us.

Before launching in, let me clarify how far and wide this man's epic struggle was viewed around the world by pointing out that The New York Times WROTE AN ARTICLE ABOUT HIS FEAT.

With that being said, let me introduce you to Lee Sanderlin, a writer for The Clarion Ledger in Mississippi.

As the Times noted, Lee lost his fantasy football league and was told he must spend 24 hours in a Waffle House as punishment. For every waffle he consumed, he would reduce his time in breakfast purgatory by 60 minutes.

If you're a northerner like me, you might not be familiar with just how massive the waffles at said Waffle House actually are.

This man managed to eat NINE of them in 15 hours.

With that, let Lee take you on an epic journey for the ages. Enjoy.

That was a battle well fought, Lee.

Sure, you might have PTSD every time you smell a waffle for the rest of your life, but the victory is yours, my man!
