feeling great is good, but feeling amazing would be great.

Finals are done on Wednesday,
Then I can go back to my home town and hopefully drink myself to death before I start rotations next Monday.

Got to race a 350Z on my 325i, on my way to work this morning. That practically had me smilling for most of the day lol

Damn, your mom is one badass b. I hope she makes it out okay, user.

>Down to 11% BF and still making all kinds of gains

>Still depressed and sad at the end of the day
>But getting through the day is getting a bit easier!

My career is skyrocketing because of my anxiety and because I'm doing well my anxiety is getting way better. I developed nightly panic attacks in high school and I started working as an electrician and I worked long days and most of the times all weekend just so I was to tired to even have a panic attack at night. I rather quickly rose among the ranks and now 6 years later I'm a project leader and head of the HVAC department of a huge construction company. I've got more money and time than I know what to do with, might start spending it on getting my life back.

I lowered weight on squats and bench today which is kinda sad but I'm feeling pretty good about going home from uni in a week and having 100% control over my time (although I probably will get a job).

I dropped my mile time for IST by 2 and a half minutes and now I may get to ship out 7 months early.

got myself a gf lads

I can't stop thinking the worst? Like how bad I'm going to feel if she leaves me or we break up..

how to just enjoy?

Man, your life does sound pretty good right now! Keep it up

Meditating is the bee's knees. Don't worry too much about not having a gf, you do you.

It's hard to break out of lazy slob mode, good on you!

I like your passion but don't forget to learn to like yourself, if you don't you'll never be happy with yourself.

Your weekend sounds comfy as fuck, enjoy those beers!

Quitting weed is underestimated, don't let anybody tell you otherwise and keep your eyes on the prize.

You should feel amazing because that sounds amazing!

Keep taking baby steps. It's all about the long run, just like getting /fit.

I finally got a job and the pay is not shit

Good job man.

It's gonna be a good May, I think.

Just enjoy the ride. All of it, even the good and the bad times.

>That feel when I am 6'0 and normalfag who used to be proud of a weekly gym
>that feel when I am only a store clerk

Holy fucking shit
I used to have that feeling that I am the tallest and biggest around.

What kind of a genetic mutation of a family have I stumbled into?

as a side note.
6'4 brother has a 6'0 wife, who are expecting a child.
>I feel even less of a man around these people.

Did you watch them for the first go of the tour? I watched them last April here in Toronto and they were phenomenal. I want to go again in July but I've been saving up for school and don't think I can go =(

Unrelated I started my cut and my serratus is just starting to show so I got that going for me

I'm on my first real cut, wanting to do a physique competition in June. 6'1" started at 216, just broke into the 170s this morning at 179.8. Feels good man. My lifts have gone down, but I have abs now and overall muscle loss isn't too bad.

looking good
those tattoos are super edgy, you can bang goth chicks on ez I presume

It's never too late.

hahaha I posted the wrong picture. This is from 3 weeks ago, so it's missing the latest edgy tattoo. But yeah goth chicks are cool

Feeling okay

>hitting the gym after a three year absence

>had a fight with the gf about how she's ready for engagement and I'm not

thanks for taking the time to reply to us :+)

Not shit is the first step to great.

Puppers are great, their carefreeness is contagious.

There's no shame in having these doubts, you could try to communicate this to a close friend or even your gf. He or she might be able to ease your thoughts.

No matter, you've earned those bragging rights by the looks of it! Keep doing you.

It's great to see someone get their life together and it's even better if it was kickstarted by getting fit!

I'm glad you found the courage to drop your oneitis, you'll be able to concentrate on more important matters with your newfound peace of mind.

Looking good, you'll do great in comp! You've got some capacity for it

Well you need to start somewhere, the routine will come soon enough if you keep the discipline up!

LOL she's obviously cheating on you, sorry. plenty of fish in the sea.

>fucked a random girl at 3am

Nearly hit double bodyweight deadlift.

Just from reading that, I know for sure you are going to make it!

On the one hand I'm sad to read this but on the other hand it tells me you're an incredibly strong person. I can't predict your future but you have my blessing!

Just from you asking yourself if you deserve her I can tell you deserve her! To me that means you don't take her for granted and you'll be excellent to each other.

She's proud of you even if she has to hide it as an insult according to the sibling code.

awww thanks user, hope you're having a good night!

:*

OP here

Actually she found out I'm a republican. RIP me.

not really related to the thread but Im not gonna make my own thread about it so I figure I should post it here

>6ft 150lb skeleton
>at house party, friend brings a 7/10 girl
>dont really catch if he is trying to fuck her or they just are friends, he has pretty large social circles and hangs with girls a lot
>I barely flirt with her at all because im not trying to cock block my bro if he is trying to hit it
>we are getting along pretty well though, she seems like a sweet girl and we have some good conversation
>a bit too stacyish for my taste but she is good company
>we are drunk later walking on the street going to a friends house
>she asks if im gay
>I say no
>she says are you sure I know some guys that would like you a lot
>I tell her I dont like guys

Now this isnt the first time a girl has asked me, I guess I look like a total faggot bitch boy but Im not really hung up on it. What pissed me off is how she didnt let it go after I said no the first time. Im autistic and dont know what to make of this. I was pretty much gone at that point so I dont know if she was being bitchy or flirty

Psychiatrist officially removed my eating disorder as one of my current diagnoses. I don't feel guilty when I eat something, and I don't randomly collapse anymore. Feels really good.

You gotta first focus on loving yourself and forgiving yourself. I'm not saying get complacent but be happy with who you are.

If there is something you don't like about yourself you need to use positive self-talk to change it.

You might not see it right now but the good choices you're making will pay off.

as for the gf: how can you expect someone else to love you if you don't love yourself?

good for you!
it takes a lot to conquer something like that. Great that you realize how good it feels, the positive energy will help develop an upward cycle

lol

Not a problem if she already likes you. Educate her ass.

If she's a hyper lib hopefully you haven't already been accused of triple rape homicide.

Play ffxi instead

My arms are actually getting bigger now. I don't know why, but it's good.

After 3 years out of gainful employment I finally got a job in my chosen profession and they are members of my union. Life is getting back on track. Finally I can afford to eat the food I feed my wife and son. I lost 30 pounds of muscle in those 3 years...

I'm finally progressing with my lifts, almost 2pl8 bench and deadlifts...

Humble giants bro. I aspire to have a family like that without you dating my daughter. You fucker deluting your shit genetics with her

Option #2, I feel like Im lucky I wasn't pepper sprayed. Regardless, I have a lot of other shit going for me.

Harrison?

Dude, NICE.
I know how hard it is to quit something like that.

Shes 5'4 and hes 6ft
Hes got the good genetics.

...

back before I started lifting this was my everyday reality, I feel you brother

>broke up with toxic gf after 11 months together
>she was 9/10 but prone to anger, bitchfits and general constant pessimism
>can't describe how good it feels
>got a fun hot redhead to my appartment after a concert 3 days after the breakup
>remembered how it is to have carefree fun again
jesus never again will i date somebody just coz of looks and sex, it fucks you up on so many levels you can't every type it all down at once

You're the Veeky Forumsizen we need but don't deserve

Reading this put a smile on my face, I'm happy for you!

We all love big arms, good work!

You conquered the grind and made it your bitch. Don't worry about those 30 pounds, a working horse like you will get those muscles back in no time!

Good news is good news, celebrate every tiny bit of it.

I'm glad you got rid of a bad part of your life and you learned to have fun again! Seems to me you also became more mature so your gonna make it for sure.

>Just benched 2pl8 for the first time 8 years
>tfw couldn't even bench 2pl8 for 1 rep last month
>tfw crank out 6 solid reps

Making gains bros. Today was a good day

Just about to get off of work, didn't pick up over time this week. Since I'm in the middle of a huge fight with my fiance (ex fiance maybe) I'm just gonna hang around the apartment and play video games and relax. Turn off my phone and do me for once.

Disconnecting from all the bullshit is really helpful. What are you playing user?

Prey, which from the few hours I played seem really good and runs great on my PC. The new Zelda, which I'm more towards the end. And I still gotta beat Yakuza 0.

Just gonna unplug for a while once I get home, treat myself to some junk food. Just let my cares go away. Next week I'll worry about patching up this realtionship. I get my prk surgery next week too so I'm looking forward to that

You're a positive guy user, wish you all the gains in the world

kinda cringy with the positive messages, but still pretty cool for you to spend your time replying to some anons on a anonymous mongolian sewing image forum

>Just let my cares go away
Good call. Gaming and lifting had been my refuge. I got out of a 6 year relationship last year and its taken a while to learn to let the bullshit go and just focus on something else for a bit.

I'll probably pick up Prey sometime soon. I just started Persona 5 and still need to finish Witcher 3 DLCs

I got Persona 5 still sealed, will start it at some point but I know it's a 60+ hour beast. And lifting goes without saying, gonna get my lift in as soon as I get home, get a shower, and since I got in 6hours of sleep at work I'm gonna be good for the day. Probably gonna order a pizza or something

>What's making you happy today Veeky Forums?

The anticipation of the OHP PR to come later today. That's all that's holding me together atm really. But things can't be fucked forever, it'll get better, this I know.

>Lifts progressing slowly but surely, god bless 5/3/1

Itook a xanax

Doing gods work user

>Have a good friend base
>Started hanging out with JP qt3.14
>School is going pretty good
>Getting back into lifting since moving overseas

Hit the nail on the head, buddy.
My fucked up brain is pining for my ex sometimes, and of course the only shit you can remember is good times. But dig a lil deeper, remember the unprovoked anger, coldness, distance and it falls into place again.
Goddamnit, I wish it didn't take so long to forget and let go

Tfw everyday is Friday

>dat post-workout cigar

mmmhmmmmmmm

Nothing too special but
>live whole youth as a fatass
