hi Mike,

Don't beat yourself up so bad - you have achieved something really awesome. So what if you can't display a perfect model physique with your shirt off, and any women who loses interest in you becasue of that simply ain't worth it.

There are very few perfect specimens out there, and whre you have been makes you the special person you are - and you have the scares to prove it

If I had your success, I might even be proud of those darn sstretch marks
