Also, I gained lots of weight between ages 18-20 because I was drinking alcohol at night. Alcohol has lots of calories and that does not help.

While the amateur ranks focus so much on the technical aspects (like jumps), the pros don't jump as much and focus more on artistry and entertaining. Therefore, their programs are not geared enough technically to really compete against the amateurs.
