NJ, my attitude hasnt changed about the BB part, the aspects of my life revolve around it in a more healthy way...i no longer view people or life from its stand-point (judge) only what it does for me...the physique alone sets you apart from the norm, even to total strangers and the people you meet...it shows a specific mind-set and a discipline that is second to none, except for other highly trained atheletes...what i dont care about is getting on stage, or being 285# @ 4% BF....my self image is all the competiton i need anymore...i set standards for myself and goals that are attainable...it has made my life rich in many ways, and in my younger years, made me poor...but today its a great place to be, and a great place to have come from...ya know?
