What made you turn your life around Veeky Forums?

Trips don't lie

the feels...

The purpose of life = produce energy.

I want to feel like a better energy factory.

You should get her back now if you still love her.

Even if you think don't deserve her now, if your making sure your becoming a great man then its the same thing as already being that man.

Also being fit/hot is good but working on your life is much more important.

Bring bullied as a grown ass man. Now I both lift heavy and carry a gun.

story pls.

>Be me

Heavy ass deadlifts , trust me you are noticed . The hard work is noticed.
The world is now open , you are just at the start , keep going at it

Get a job in corrections. When I say bullied, I mean vastly overpowered and manhandled where I had to be saved by other inmates and guards. Carry a gun outside of work because of potential gang connections and threats.

At 5'8 160, I'm the strongest I've ever been in my life, and yet I often times still feel so weak.

you still in the job?

my niqqa. you inspired me not to slack on working out today.

They wouldn't fire you for that. However, imagine the humiliation of having to transfer cell blocks because you were bitched in the last one. Many inmates wouldn't respect me, at all. No fun.

yea, that sounds tough. good luck with your training.

Thanks. It's important everyone tries to train, work towards health and strength and goals. Goals are good for the mind.

I was 220 lbs and outta shape. One of my classmates called me a "fatass" one day and that made me realize how fat I was. I didn't even realize how big I was.

I lost weight down to 160, then started lifting. I'm at 200 lbs now after a slow but rather dirty bulk. Now I just need to do it again, but cut to 180 or 170.

I'm a NEET with nothing better to do, so I figured I'd get buff. Yeah, I really turned my life around.

the hope that the void would go away

it didnt and i feel it never will

Doing acid

Seriously, drugs are bad an will make you dependant and will affect your health. Smoking anything is bad for your lungs and cardiovascular heath. Weed is psychlogically addictive. Caffiene and alcohol are bad for you and addictive. They all waste your money and hurt you.

But seriously, do acid, mushrooms, cactus, or dmt. They will not hurt your body, they are not habit forming, they will not physically poison your mind.

I have never had a bad trip. My friends have never had a bad trip. Look up preparational methoda (set, setting), and take a dive. This shit was intended to be done with alcoholics anonymous. It is the only thing that treats treatment-resistant ptsd.

Start small, do a bit more once you're comfortable and damikiar with yourself in that state and how it feels.

I am dedicated, accept all sorts of shit, love myself and others. And it's not mystical, it's not religious lr spiritual. It's shit your parents could have taught you for FUCKS SAKE TRIP BALLS YOU BASTARD

I figured out a long time ago, that nobody will love me but me, so I do everything for myself now. I love myself.

*lol not damikiar, but familiar

Girlfriend cheated on me, telling myself it's because I was dyel, but really she was just a whore. Focusing on building strength now.

I decided that if I was going to be good at something in my life, it was going to be exercising. I don't know if I'll make it but I'm trying.

if you want something bad enough you can have it. it will never be easy though.

wow this sounds just the plot of a movie I watched some time ago...

You're leaving a woman who stuck with you through meth addiction; you're a goddamn retard who will not make it.

this is because youre a fucking screw

i got to leave prison, wheras you have to go there every day

fucking screw, you are weak

Idk, I wouldn't say that hallucinogenics are completely safe mentally, you have to be somewhat carful with those.

with DMT, an old friend of mine tried getting a breakthrough dose of DMT and ended up going into a drug induced psychosis and pulled a knife on his babysitter (drug related babysitter).

another friend of mine (was one of my best friends growing up) took about an ounce of psilocybin mushrooms and got drug induced schizophrenia that he still hasn't recovered from.

Don't have any negative experiences with acid, but I would still be at least a little careful when dealing with hallucinogenics, they're like mini pandora's boxes. You can get incredible wisdom from them, but they can also drive you crazy (to some extant).

>dropped 20 lb, still got a way to go but it doesn't look nearly as bad

A real "double-standard" that doesn't involve miss soggy knee

everything around me fell apart. I learned the true meaning of social Darwinism. And I decided never again was I going to be that sad cunt who is always down on his luck. Never again will a bitch rule my life. Never again will I be taken for a ride or feel like shit.

The world is for those who take it, and I'm grabbing a whole fucking handful.

I don't know if I'll make it.
I lost my virginity and kiss this year, age 22.
Quit all video games. Used to play 6-12 hrs a day.
Currently at 170 6'0" up from 140 in June.
Doing very shitty in university. Hate my major, hate all classes, but only 18 credits away.
The only thing I enjoy these days is lifting, have no other hobbies since I stopped gaming. I'm extremely bored and can't concentrate.

LUL looks like I'm not turning shit around...

If you need constant inspiration to become the best possible version of yourself, you're never going to make it. Make an honest effort to go to the gym and eat right for two weeks. If after that time you don't want to continue, then don't continue. Just know you'll live the rest of your life wondering what could have been.

Quit being a faggot looking for inspiration on a fucking Asian basket-weaving inspired forum.Go out there and make it

This, he's a total scumbag degenerate if he leaves.

He has a job, who cares? You some sort of pussy that's afraid of actual work? Parading those degenerates around is pretty tough, but it's probably nicer when at the end of the day, you have a girlfriend, wife, or family to come home to; a future, the ability to carry a gun and vote. You're literally subhuman if you're an ex-con. Congratulations on having the same rights women had in the 1920s.

>I got to leave prison
You'll be back.

I read the sticky.

Just pull through and start searching for what you want after it. That would be a start.

thanks user.

I am struggling with my weight and feeling depressed. This helps me.

got beaten to near death by a crack addict. never want to feel that helpless in another mans grip again

Still in the process of making it but my lifts are increasing nicely and i'm seeing my first gains.

shrooms

Whats your CCW?

Did a military fitness test and threw up despite barely passing.
Vowed to never be that pathetic again.

A 2D crippled girl.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was fairly fit late in High School, then (what I think is) depression hit me like a truck. Anyway...

Story 1:

>Fat Hispanic kid since Elementary school
>Acne all over, fat as fuck, and bullied since 5th grade (being light skinned Hispanic is no fun)
>Late 8th grade. Walk from bathroom to next class, and overhear two Puertorican girls talking to one another in Spanish. Essentially, they said I looked like a toad, not realizing that I am Hispanic and understood everything.
>9th grade rolls by, and start new school
>Go to gym class, and play basketball every day
>Lose weight
>Not so fat, acne persists, but I started hanging out with some of the black kids, and kept playing basketball with them
>Friends from my neighborhood started talking behind my back, kept pulling the fat card on me, so I hang exclusively with the black kids now
>Skip to 10th grade, and new friend invites me to a Gym.
>Get shredded, and mires everywhere, but confidence was still lacking. Didn't know what getting mired was at the time.
>Graduate, only to find out I had to move as soon as I got my diploma, so no actual chance to grow up, no college, nothing.
>Depression hits me for 8 stinking years

My dads company got bought out and they moved most of the employees out of the state. I felt so cheated out of a chance to hang out and be with my friends and go to college and maybe have a career. I managed to get my shit together later and worked my way to getting my licence and a car, and got my degree in Comp Sci. Still, I understood and don't blame my dad for taking the job. It was just an unfortunate event.

Work, almost being murdered, a break up, and the unending desire to murder everyone that threw me away.

Story 2:

>New town, still fit after High School, no friends.
>Knew no one, had no car (town has extremely shitty public transportation).
>Get fat for 5 or so years, while being a shut-in.
>Got to the point where I really thought about killing myself.
>Look for job within walking distance, find one at a pizza shop
>Keep working trying to stay motivated, but other employees look down on me because fat guy.
>Boss hires some guy who is pretty fit. Girls there cream themselves over him.
>Got to know him. He's a decent guy, except for the fact that he's a bit of a player.
>Resented him for a while, but deep down it motivated me to change my life.
>24 hour gym opens up across the street from where I live.
>Have money saved up and get membership.
>Managed to get a cheap and reliable car, and taught myself how to drive.
>Get license, and finally go to college
>Kept working out late at night till back in good shape. Went from 250 to 159 at my leanest.
>Get hit on once in a while, but still don't know how to deal with it.
>Graduate college.
>Get new job, but still work at old job a couple of times a week to get some extra money.
>No longer in poverty, so new(ish) car, and living in a nice place.
>A lot more sociable.

I honestly didn't know what depression really was until someone I knew pointed it out, he pointed out the symptoms and read me like a book. I nearly broke down when I heard it. I figured it was just another word for people just being sad and wanting attention out of it. But fuck there's a lot more to it than I thought. Anywho, as of right now, I'm bulking to 190, and can bench 250, squat 300, DL 400, and OHP 160. Still trying to improve on everything else. Hopefully things will keep getting better.

>be insecure about my body my whole life

I just want to be confident in myself and be good at something

Chris-Chan. I was a NEET for 5 years. When Chris-Chan pierced his taint and it got infected I decided to turn my life around in fear that I too would be a mentally Ill NEET who just withers away into degeneracy. I got a job in a warehouse and started working out every morning 5 days a week since July 1st. I'm also saving up to go to school. But I'm waiting for all this Liberal Commie shit to die down on College campuses. Im not gunna waste my money on Social Justice nonsense. I just want to learn and succeed with useful knowledge and make a decent career and settle down with 2 gf's.

>she rubbed it in my face and i dont blame her because i deserved it
Started lifting to feel more confident about myself and make sure something like that never happens again. I loved her and i still do, and i think she likes me too and i did nothing.

I got angry at the world, then got even angrier when no one could be fucked to listen to the truth from some skinny weakling, now I have the authority to be heard on grace of my presence in the room

Rough morning.

I carry a 9mm HK P2000SK most times, but during the winter sometimes I'll carry my .40 Sig P229. IWB, 5 o clock.

I'm in pretty much the exact same situation. I try to read books as well. It's a time killer that has real benefits and improves concentration as well. I try to get 1 hour of book reading every day.

Jeez man. That sounds rough.

i remember you

I don't know, women probably. I started lifting 3 months ago and I'm only barely starting to see any results, and I'm starting to change my diet.

gj bro, rootin for ye.

kek

I'll try to read more, feels like I'm going insane sometimes. I also can't stop procrastinating in school, worried about passing but have no motivation to get the work done.

What's it like being a sociopath?

Volunteering and beta blockers turned my life around. Also meeting someone who made a big impact on my life, even if it was for a short time and they hurt me in the end, they made me see what was important in my life.

Are you literally me?

How did you get the discipline to start improving?

I'm about to hit 23 and already feel old and like I failed at life. Holy shit you just shattered that worldview and made me feel hope and inspiration.

Mark my words, I'm gonna fuck a pornstar too brah. Time to hit the gym and the school books hard!

Tired of being unhealthy and ugly

When I realised I have ridiculously small calves
Pic relating is flexing. Every day has to be calf day.

I started doing mental exercises every day. Keeping the mind engaged and working helps a lot with general day to day.

this

Repressed anger, hatred, and most importantly, desire. The desire to live and experience this world along with all it has to offer-- even the pain and suffering. I'm going to be passionate and fearless to truly live and catch up on everything I've missed out on and more.

The life we're living is the real thing, breh. Living empty and just being swept along in the tides of life is practically the same as being dead.

Also this.

You need to love yourself and your own life before others can love you. Because then, even when someone loves you and you don't love yourself, your mind won't be able to accept it.
