(silver lining, eh? (yes, i'm canadian)) Sometimes tough times get us closer to reality, some wonderful person, or to a place of no ego. I’m struggling to quit smoking. I’m struggling to teach myself financial discipline(after being in debt and not being able to get out of it no matter how small for over 10 years). I’m struggling to make exercise and healthy eating a CONSTANT part of my life (could never drop those last 10 lbs that became the last 25 lbs ). and while I’m still not victorious, I’m learning so many new ways in how to deal with life, I’m meeting so many great people. on a bad day, I’ll admit that I’m not where I want to be, but at least I’m not where I used to be. and that's an indication of progress and brighter days ahead. after all, smooth seas do not make skillful sailors. Stay strong Vic I’ll keep you in my prayers xox A hey Vic

I'm at 145 pounds now (up from 130 4 months ago), and I'm getting stronger... all thanks to the help of your website. I don't know what to say (I've never been through any pain near what you have gone through, nor have I known anyone close that has gone through your suffering), but I pray that you will have the strength and willpower to pull through and emerge successful. I'm sure your next venture will be even more awesome and more successful than ever. Best of luck, and don't stop being awesome! -Max Vic,

I could not believe what I was reading - Thank you for all of the knowledge you've shared on these pages. You've definitely changed the way I think of exercising and I appreciate the insights you've shared into the way you view life. I don't know what the answer to this one is, but perhaps just take a break, and go again - and I think you can... I simply refuse to believe that such a seemingly genuinely nice guy, dedicated and hard working cannot rise above this. Wishing you nothing but the best. wow Vic, my heart goes out to you.

You only learn from failure and any business venture you start in the future will be better because of it. It took me about 2 years to figure that out, so I thought I'd share. Kudos to you for being brave enough to be honest with your readers on what's going on in your life.

It must have been rough to post. I am with you though; I just lost my grandma to cancer and lost my job as well. Your post reminded me that it is important to keep a positive outlook even though everything just fell apart right before us. Good luck and stay strong. Thanks again.

And I feel exactly the way he did - no regrets, and happy to have had the best job in the world! Yes, the daily business stuff was a grind and eventually lead to the undoing. But there was nothing like seeing someone light up when they saw the scale drop 6 pounds in a week or when a kid tied his black belt for the first time. Thanks, Yash.
