·I'm posting this because I'm proud as shit of him.
Meet my pal Bill. Excellent musician and excellent human with some screaming howler monkeys in his closet (like most of us).
Bill got big in his teens and never let up. By the time he was 50 he was tanked.
410 pounds and enough health issues to fill an empty buffet restaurant: Type II diabetes, COPD, apnea, HBP and scary ass high cholesterol.
He found my story online and reached out to me for contact. We talked a lot and often. He offered me money for my assistance -- bullshit, I've never monetized my story and my help is always freely given.
Made a promise and pact with myself in my darkest days, "If I can make it over the top I'm never going back down and I'll help anyone who needs it." ←and that's as humble braggy as I'll get & this post shall get.
He wanted whatever Magic I had but over the years slowly began to understand I have none. There is no secret pill nor magic bullet to sustained and tremendous change.
There's only The Work.
The endless baby steps up the Mountain... and becoming obsessed with The Goal while always embracing and making friends with The Process.
I guess he finally got that.
Just had a call from him followed by a text.
He weighs 165 pounds, off all his former meds and all of his labs have come back as normal.
This was Bill and this is Bill...
Bill is a goddamn gladiator in my opinion.
