I think, I think one of the best way to get my teeth kicked in is like, listen to some David Goggins. Yeah. You know, like a little can't hurt me. Like, dude, I remember the first time I listened to the audible can't hurt me. I literally like got on my phone and ordered marathon running shoes. Yeah, I remember that. I'm running a marathon.
But that was, that was old Daryl where I would like try to get him excited about something and he would never do it. Like, so like it's, it's cool to see a new Daryl in the last year, year and a half where he's like, he's up more to like some of the physical challenges that I wanted. Cause I've always done stupid physical challenges.
Like, oh, it's like, like, oh, I'm going to go do a 60 day juice fast or I'm going to, you know, I don't know, see how long I can stay awake or whatever. 72 hour water fast.
Well, I think, I think the thing that shifted in you as well as like mentally, like you've been physically active just to be physically active. I think you're actually connecting it with like the mentality now where like you want to do hard things and, and like kind of prove to yourself that like, that's always been me.
Like the, and, and I, like for whatever reason, I haven't ever been able to get you on board with that. Right. You're always just like, oh, that's stupid. Why would I do that just to do it? Right. Yeah. So that's that's been a fun transition in our relationship of like, all right, let's let's push the limits. Let's let's figure out what we're capable of doing. So it's awesome.
Nice.
You know, it's guys like you that just really piss me off. They can, like, eat a bagel and cream cheese. Like, dude... I freaking went a year without white flour, fried foods, and sugar, and I still got this dang thing, man.
Do not call it type 2. Do not call it type 2.
That's self-inflicted fat people.
Sorry, self-inflicted fat people.
You know, I, and I think that's like the thing I always have to look at is like, okay, Chris versus Chris, right? Like, because if I allow myself to get outside of that, then I look at a guy like Tyler who's eating cream cheese and bagels and like, like, oh yeah, I'm struggling with like, screw you, dude. You're looking good, man. Like if I eat cream cheese and bagels, I would be 400 pounds.
you know and uh but i have to like remove that thought and just be like okay what is chris capable of what am i up against now i know i'm capable of more right and and so and i think that's where all of us have to get to is like that that understand like what, what does God know that I'm capable of doing?
And cause like me and him are the only ones that know, not my wife, not Daryl, not any of my friends. Right. Nobody knows what I'm capable of. Nobody's seen me in secret. Right. And so like, that's, that's where I have to like win is the secret battles. Yeah. And so like, um, I made a really awesome decision.
I don't know what triggered in my little 10-year-old brain, but I was sitting in the hospital when I first got diagnosed with diabetes. And this nurse, I still remember her name. Her name was Kathy. My nurse, Kathy. Sweet Kathy. Because she was so nice. I made her a nice card and everything. Anyways, Kathy. How long ago was this? This was when I was 10 years old, 30 years ago.
So Kathy wheels in this TV and pops in a little VHS. And on there, there's this NFL player talking about how he has type 1 diabetes. And he hasn't let that get in his way. And like, you know, that that spoke to me as a little 10 year old, 10 year old Chris, because like one, I love football. Right. Two, up until that moment, I thought my life was over from a standpoint.
I was never going to be able to eat. In my mind, I could never eat sugar again. I was just going to be this weird kid that always had to take injections, you know, just all these different things. And so like, oh, check out that sweet lizard thing. Wow. That thing is dope. Come on.
He's right here on the corner. Oh, that is so awesome. So, so yeah, they show me this video and I made a decision right then. I'm like, I will not allow myself ever to make diabetes my excuse. Right. If he can do it, I can do it. And, and the, the, What I programmed in my mind was I will never say that I am a diabetic, like I will never identify as a diabetic.
I have type one diabetes, but I am not a diabetic. And so like that just that just little mental shift is help me. But like, I know I could use it as an excuse because frankly, if I'm being honest, like it's difficult, it's, it sucks. Like when I, when I'm like dialed in with my diet and then I like have to go and drink pure orange juice, right?
Like in the middle of the night, I'm like, crap, dude, I was in keto.
So I have attempted three-day fast three different times. Two of the times, my blood sugar got too low to be able to finish the fast. Third time, I was able to do it. Again, I even hate talking about this because I don't want it to ever appear to limit me.
