Leo when he was fat

[Revolutionary Think]

This may sound a bit weird but, I'm curious. Leo talked about the time when he used to be overweight so I'm wondering what that looked like. @Leo Gura do you have a picture of yourself when you were overweight I'm wondering if you show the before and after pictures it'll be an inspiration to someone who thinks they can never change a certain thing in their life. Just an idea. Take it or leave it.

He said he will dig them up sometime in the future in a thread

[Revolutionary Think]

Oh I didn't see that thread. Do you know what it was called?

And also when he was in the green stage of spiral dynamics.  This dude is making about a million a year and studied pickup for years.... and still mentions it all the time.  I see more  orange than green.  We rarely ever see the green side.

'Orange' you gonna tell us, Leo?

@TomDashingPornstar good one. This is what I like about this forum and this community those people who come here and start criticizing Leo think as if we worship him. I don't worship Leo far from it I see him more as a friend and a person that can help me not as some kind of cult leader. That's why I/we can make jokes about him and treat him like any other human being on this planet. Try cracking jokes and making fun of your rabbi's, priests, or imams and see how that goes.

@MM1988 ya that was 2 years ago tho

Maybe it was just a marketing trick for early actualized.org era

At that time the topics were much more "Orange" so it does probably help to have a background story like "How I gained some muscles"

[Revolutionary Think]

Maybe...

he told in a thread that his mom has a photo of him when he was fat. Btw he immigrated from Russia when he was still very young! He spoke 1 sentence in Russian in one video and it had very american accent. He also mentioned that he has a brother in 1 of his blog posts (maybe I'm wrong)

[Soulbass]

He made mods for Oblivion too ^^

I believe him.  Why would someone lie about being fat as a kid.  A lot of people who get into Personal Development have a certain kind of adversity in their background.  That’s what makes them tough as shit.  I had the same thing.  I wasn’t really fat, but I had other problems.  You have to have a certain kind of ‘I don’t give a f*ck attitude’ to be great at Personal Development PLUS a compassion that comes from being that person who was formerly at a disadvantage.  Those two really come together to make you a rockstar Personal Development dude later on in life.  I mean, if you could just do it — why would you need Personal Development?  You gotta struggle or face some kind of adversity for Personal Development to even emerge as an issue for you.

Videos on point to watch:

No marketing trick. I was very fat. But I don't have any photos. My Mom does. I keep forgetting to ask her for one. I'll post it on the blog someday. When I do, you guys will not believe your eyes.

@Leo Gura I've never considered Russian food to make people fat. What did they feed you lol . Or maybe it was just the unhealthy food when you came to the US?

@Soulbass Thanks!

Bwehehe. When I use a lot of english I start to phrase in Russian in an English manner, just like Leo did here. Although it sound awkward for those Russians who don't know English it's incredibly convenient.
