Hi Veeky Forums

To add to this, I took salvia a couple years back and I realized how fucked up my body was. I could literally see angels dragging me into my grave. I could see the anger I was holding on to, I could see it all. But none of it made sense. So I began a spiritual journey, TO pull myself out of the shit.

realized i was 40lbs overweight
>wow im a fucking slob
>go to gym, start as dyel
>get gym buddy who is jacked to help me
1 year later am no longer dyel

>non-douchey way
>says something completely douchey.

The fact that I was on a boatload of medications for conditions that are easily prevented by proper nutrition and fitness.

I just went to the gym once and I liked it. Been hooked ever since

Protip: anybody who writes bullshit like is autistic

>in a non-douchey kind of way
>has a superiority complex
its ok to admit your insecurities friendo, this is a safe place :^)

I woke up one day feeling like shit senior year of high school, decided enough was enough, made a list of all the shit I hate about myself, and started changing
Still not that great at girls, but much better in almost every other aspect of my mind

Bahaha is zootopia that inspiring??

mom told me i got fat

my boot disk crashed
felt like waking up for the first time

I set myself a goal of being an independent artist and quickly realized that I am sitting at home all day drawing and writing. Now I had two choices: cardio and become skinny or lift and become big. And since then I lift seven hours a week, my belief is that they are well-invested in my mental and physical health and thus contribute to my actual goal.

Brought tears to my eyes.

Finding out I wasn't brave enough to off myself. Changing became the only choice left.

is has somewhat mature themes is you pay close attention.

My manlet friend made fun of me at a Taco Bell.

Also, no gf.

In 2010 I was in a pretty shitty state of mind, which was not helped as r9k was my home board as it shifted from OC to... what it is now.

In a 'post your daily routine' thread a guy, probably from Veeky Forums posted how he'd wake up, have oats, protein shake and a green tea.

At the time I just slept alot, and barely ate. Dunno why but that post really got to me. The next morning I woke up at 6am, and joined the gym.

Whoever that user was might have saved my life. Thx m8

Graduated from uni and moved to a new city. Austin is wonderful, but drinking and drug use is so heavily imbedded in that city's culture i neved would have accomplished my life goals while living there. Would've done fine, but i get a lot more done where I'm living now

Lol are you retarded, i got a job at monsanto, which means i'm one step closer to my goal.

fuck that
living takes courage. to work, raise a family, grow old, watch everyone around you die, means you're willing to endure the suffering
suicide is for cowards

a 10/10 girl I saw on facebook.
It made me realize I'm a slob piece of shit.

Hahaha wait please tell us your evil plan to end the world through your entry-level job at Monsanto

nice, can you tell me more about what you saw and what were your thoughts about your body? I havent tried salvia, but a few weeks ago and I know its totally different but I had a related feel looking at myself in the mirror triping on an lsd tab. It hit me real hard how much of a skelly I have become since I stopped lifting a year ago.

Because lifting is sort of the precipice, or a foundation if you want, to success. For me it was watching all these people like Arnold Schwarzenneger who were ripped, successful, confident, etc. And I was a chubby sad sack who was jealous of everyone else and completely out of shape. I had no routine, no motivation, and anxiety from poor mental health.

After starting to lift, work out, do cardio, and diet I lost 50 pounds and felt much healthier. My mental health and confidence is through the roof, along with my energy levels and testosterone. I have a routine for myself and found doing something I love. I basically just converted lifting towards my addictive personality and turned it into something I can FEEL.

That said, this would be the best advice I can give to my fellow fatties. You are fat because you have no impulse control and love eating. It is an addiction. Turn lifting into an addiction. Not a chore you have to exert yourself to do, but a drug. Think of the radiating pleasure of the pump, the surge of dopamine and other feel good chemicals your brain gets like a drug as your body gets bigger and stronger before your eyes. Lift weights like a madman, exert yourself, feel the pleasure of the muscle tearing and the curves you get when you flex in the mirror. It's beautiful. Channel that inner addict and I promise you will love it like I did.

Eh, i finally dropped the bitch and decided to get in shape, life's been good, after a year lifting and soul searching i decided my next chapter in life will be Military service.

This.
A single dose of DMT made me sell my """Gaming PC""", begin lifting and attempt to socialise

Nothing yet, I'm still waiting...

I want to lead. I want to lead my friends, I want to lead my biddies, I want to lead at work, and I want to be first in line at life. I'm already decent looking with a good aesthetic. I'm a comfy 6'2" with wide shoulders. My career is in line to grow at 22. All I need now is to completely my path to peak natty aesthetics.

>was a fat fuck.
>Went hiking in Colorado with some friends over spring break two years ago
>holy shit that was way harder than it should've been
>instantly changed lifestyle
>lost 130 lbs during the next 16 months
>has loose skin and mantits still, but not a fat fuck anymore

Come at me mountains

Why so bitter senpai, did someone broke your dreams?

It's a movie about how you shouldn't be prejudiced. Soooo fucking deep.

Started working and meeting new people, realized I was actually good at social analysis, just needed more experienced. Started studying and fell in love with my career path. Also started hanging out with more people and more women, started getting more serious about lifting, reading new books...

You start living and youll get better at it.

OK I'll tell you. Trust me, a good hit of salvia is NOTHING like acid. Acid is like, woah tribal patterns on my skin.

Salvia is like, the world I know is a lie, and you see the quantum strings that hold the mind together, and you see the filter your mind applies to them. Where your psyche was formed as a child, you are transported back there, except from the point of view of a fly on the wall. Time is stretched into eternity. I advise against it if you are depressed like I was.

Wife left me. One of the reasons she gave me was being out of shape compared to when we got together. I think it was a bullshit reason, but she was right about me becoming a piece of shit physically. Started working out again, lost a bunch of fat. I'm not going back to that life ever again.

That, and the career I want is kind of a fit career choice.

>be overweight
>want to not be overweight
>try dieting and lifting in a half assed way over 2 years and then gain all the weight back when I stop

Then it just snapped, I decided I'll take it seriously this time around and have been giving it at least my 90%, seeing some great results

my salvia experience wasn't that intense. I personally had more introspection on some quality acid.

when I did salvia I laid on the back of a couch for some reason (like where you always see cats chilling), and I tipped the couch over so that just one leg was supporting it. At this point in time I became an avalanche, supporting all of the weight of the falling snow with my one leg.

shortly thereafter I sobered up and that was that.

my friend though saw a demon's face in the wood paneling in my basement and went fetal position in the corner of the room for a good 5 minutes tho.

Realized I could feel my stomach jiggling when I hit bumps on the road. I'd get out of breath easily too. Then I took a look at my life and realized I was a fucking loser.

That was last June. I'm still a fucking loser, but at least I've dropped a ton of flab, I can run 10 miles without dying, and I can climb rocks.

It started with a strong desire to change everything about myself. I have a long road ahead of me.

Getting a gf while simultaneously seeing a therapist.

I was obese all of my life and kept making excuses about why I couldn't lose weight. Once I left my ex I fell into rut and did nothing but vidya and eat my feelings
Then around December I found Veeky Forums and started making my own prepackaged meals and cardio
Dropped 60 pounds in 5 months and got my life back in my control
Also having a super obese dad that hates to see me eating healthy helps motivate me too. I will break the cycle and be the exact opposite of what he is

Nothing
>mfw I just ate an entire pizza

I've heard similar experiences to this, people who went back to their childhood at key moments that turned them the way they are, watching it all from the ceiling in their case.

It's sounds to me like a hell of an adventurous trip to make, at least once in a lifetime. Why would you advise against it? Didnt you say that it was salvia that made you realize how fucked up your body was and that seeing it from a higher perspective made you realize you needed to change?

hope you're bulking

I found out I had a heart murmur, I fell over after jogging a quarter mile. It also helped that after my mom died of Liver Cancer when I was 15, and I saw how after awhile so many people abandoned me and my family. I didn't want to be weak anymore. I wanted to be strong, honorable, ferocious. A Lion in the flesh of a Man. It worked pretty well, I started my own business. Got a job. Looking for a GF now, and trying my damnedest to finish school without getting into too much trouble.
The Path I walk is a long a winding one, but I shall walk it without hesitation.

Been bulking for 20 years

How do you get rid of the flabby skin from losing weight without having to become a muscle refrigerator

good job my friend, just keep going. The road may be infinite. And we must go through it as impeccably as we can, by giving our best in each task we perform. Keep it up

I advise against it because it's a dissociative and I hated it. It changed me so much that I lost most of my friends.

That being said, my posture is 10x better now, I no longer have self illusion, and I am happier overall. But I associate those changes with lifestyle changes after the trip, like honest talks with my family, and not from the trip itself.

> had serious drug problem
> like 20 norco a day problem, with xanny bars and anything else I could get my hands on
> caught stealing meds
> jail for six days, let out, family helped immensely
> went from 125 skelly to 175 chubby
> sentenced long probation term instead of prison
> decide I gotta get into shape, start lifting bags of salt because I'm poor
> finally afford a rudimentary home gym
> lift there for a while, get in contact with long lost buddy
> we both get a gym membership and lift together, gains are had
> in the meantime I decide lifting isn't enough so I start learning Spanish
> year and a half later go to visit girl I met online as she studies English in USA
> fell in love, she moves in with me a month later
> fast forward to now. I am married, fluent in Spanish, off probation, just getting back into gym after 1 year hiatus. Recovering my muscles
> don't hang with friend anymore. Sad, but he's making it on his own too so I can't be too upset

And life continues. I still have not "made it" but after 25 years of life, I am better off than before.

you are so fucking autistic holy fuck kill me now

I experienced the same when I took shrooms last week for the first time

I supose I agree. Your self perception sure changes radically and you have to be prepared to learn and adapt to it. My guess is that there must be some sort of preparation for taking salvia, say other drugs taken responsibly, treated consciously as what they are. And then just accepting it will be life transforming and be prepared to feel your deepest fears and unanswered questions about existence.

I'm sorry you lost most of your friends during the after trip process, but I'm sure it was the right path. It's happening to me aswell, for changes not related or maybe at root they are related with drugs and me changing my perspective about things. And honest talks with family, fuck, thats something I need to take care of.

That's how we do

>Be me former autist, now outgoing dude with lots of friends
>Do all kinds of shit, join fraternity, travel the world, work in asia
>Miss literally dozens of great opportunities to easily get laid during all that time because "lololol I on't need them" (In truth I was still scared af of girls when things get sexual)
>Therefore Still Virgin at 25 (one of the girls pursuing me managed to get my drunken ass to make out with her once, so there's that at least)
> Smoke weed, drink alone, play vidya when I'm at home so I can convince myself everything is cool
>Mounting self-hatred shows more and more despite these attempts to keep it at bay
>At one point completely go off one one close chadlike friend of mine out of pure envy even while he tries to set me up to fuck one of his fwb's friends that night
>Feel worse than I ever have afterwards, drop the weed,drinking and vidya cold turkey
>Suppressed feels hit me like freight train, think I'll go crazy for several weeks
>Take up lifting, Rugby and dancing to keep myself from thinking, also start working for Uni again and properly doing my side job
>Actually feeling your body again is amazing, I'm awake, I get hungry, horny and tired like a normal person again
>Finally start trying to get with girls, turns out getting rejected ain't shit and I have no problem finding girls who are all over me once I start talking to them

Now all I need to do is leave this place at least for a while, because reading about other user's successes with grils makes me feel like utter shit everytime although they all most likely have been rejected more often than I ever tried during my lifetime

ey different stroke for different folks senpai

we all gonna make it brah
