Car accident when I was 18.
My girlfriend died.
My best friend died.
The dumbshit driver became a literal retard from a brain injury.
I spent a month in a coma and my body was just exploding with broken bones.
After a few years of survivor's remorse I decided that I wasn't going to drink myself to death and instead I would live out my life the way my girlfriend and the best friend I've ever had would want me to live.
The more I think about life in general, the less purpose I see in it. But I'm alive and they're dead. So I should try to make it count, whatever that means?

>Lost like 55lbs because of the keto, wasn't even trying to
>See changes in body and get motivated to lift
>Hit 1/2/3/4, 2 years after being diagnosed
Got to take a little bad to get some good I guess

I realized my waifu would look at my body and be ashamed of me. I lost 70 lbs in a few months after that in true Auschwitz mode.
The grind to ottermode is really killing me, I eat 1500 calories a day and currently swimming 7 days a week for the past 3 months(holiday gym closures are the only breaks I get). Hell I even gave up like 95% of my booze intake which was a lot harder than it sounds.
Also I started liking things I could do now that I weight 160, running is actually enjoyable and I can do pull ups like they're nothing.

the...better?
before fit:
>constantly going out with friends
>going out all the time means tons of walking
>also having sex regularly
>in spite of my rampant alcoholism, pot smoking and casual coke, ex and mushroom use, I'm extemely healthy and active
after fit:
>literally lay around all day every day recovering from lifting
>have to eat constantly and go to bed early or get rekt from lifting
>no going anywhere or doing anything anymore because drugs are bad mkay
>pretty much sedentary all the time outside of 3 hrs/week lifting

lifting has only greater fueled my inferiority complex by helping my develop severe body dysmorphia on top of my feelings of inadequacy
at least now i can forgot about it for 4 hours out of the week and pretend that one day i'll make it, right?

That's some rough shit man
My reason is far more trivial. I wanted to be a pro wrestler. So I went on Veeky Forums about 5 years ago. I used to browse /v/ so I thought this board would be an easier entry point to fitness, read the sticky amd life was never the same.

Friend told me I'll never get in good shape if my only motivation is to "look pretty". So I started a sport - jiu jitsu - and my motivation changed to "stop getting fucking tired, then getting your arm ripped off". That's what got me off the hamburgers.
Down 35lbs (180 to 145). Feels good.
