In all seriousness i owe a lot to GET-BIG and the people here (good and bad!),i would have happily continued my life "perma-bulking"/bouncing in nite-clubs and thinking i was "huge",what turned it around and what sticks in my mind was when after i posted some stupid video of myself posing (in front of a christmas tree i think)Jeff Mcfarland posted (or sent me a pm) with a simple sentence (one that changed my life tho!)..it read "Your better than this Mike"...............Jeff then asked me why don't i shed all the "safety fat" and diet down and do a show,i decided (as i had over the years said many times i was "going to do a show") that this time i really would!,and what came out of that process was that i grew up and matured quite a bit,learned discipline...and if i could do that (deprive myself/not cheat) then i could do anything,i took the ISSA course,moved to Florida,stayed with one girl (Laura) without cheating or wanting to,gained self-respect and a slew of other great things,
thanks Jeff,Laura ,Larry (LLes) and everyone ..............
