The physical and mental toll was brutal: I gained 80 pounds, lived on Red Bull and struggled with anxiety. That's not trading your work-life balance for success, that's just trading your life. Period. 80lbs extra weight (probably already overweight before gaining that if a typical person from the US) and a diet of Red Bull is a great way to take years off your life.

A trade off of maybe a few thousand a month (not even, but for someone who rides in helicopters instead of drives this is affordable) and no more than 6 hours a day (4-5 extra sleep, an hour of exercise), you could be successful and not obese and anxious.
