Hey Veeky Forums
I am a teenager(18-19)) recovering from severe depression. I have never posted or lurked on this board before. But that's not what I'm getting at. I want to improve my life. Starting today. Here are my problems

>overweight (5'6 220 lbs)
>depressed(lessening , still a major issue)
>borderline addiction to porn(2-3 times a day)
>antisocial(never talk to anyone)

And here are my plans for each of those things

>start doing small work outs everyday, gradually becoming bigger
>keep going to psychiatrist, talk to friends
>ive deleted my porn folder, started reading about stuff that interests me
>started talking to people at /uni/, I started a conversation with a male who I think we can be good friends and two females who I'm unsure about

Problem is I'm scared I will fail. How do I motovate myself to keep improving myself?

You should start by leaving Veeky Forums now and forever

Nah ignore this. Veeky Forums is actually okay. I used it a lot when I was getting fit. Just avoid the porn and self depreciation bs

The depression is the big one of the list. Everything else contributes to it in small ways, so getting through the struggles of each one will help your depression.

But don't look at it like you're a failure or your life sucks. You are who you are. Overcome the struggles.

Be careful talking to females. They will automatically think you're trying to hit on them and will sometimes just stop talking to you. Guy friends are always relaxed.

Get a hobby. You need something to sink time in to that you can see progress in, like martial arts.

Lol he'll just end up on neogaf or some other shithole

If you want to keep at getting fit, I suggest you begin by choosing a program, probably full-body workout, and only do it three times a week. Believe me, you will be able to keep at it longer than jumping into an everyday program (no one even does such a thing). After a month or as many as you need, you can switch up to a four to six day per week program. By then you will be trained enough to take it, and hopefully even become dependent on it.
Now I suggest you do not fuck around with cardio too much, it isn't that important in weight loss terms. Basically whatever calories you burn are minute. Weightlifting is what you want to do, a 1.5 hr session is about 600 calories, and it regulates your hunger as well. Read the sticky though, you'll find all the information you need.

Meditation: there’s a great app called Headspace that teaches you how to do it. A book called The Mind Illuminated will help you progress.

Running: there’s an excellent beginning program called Couch to 5K or C25K. There are apps, it works.

Lifting: 5x5 or Starting Strength; either one will piss off one half of Veeky Forums or the other. Both sides are a bunch of faggots. Either program is a good start.

Mental: ditch your vidya, cancel Netflix. Start reading: non-fiction, ideally history, science, and philosophy. Stoicism is a good place to start. Do other mentally challenging things for brain gainz. Chess and Go are popular around here.

Taking up martial arts, whether traditional Asian arts, boxing/mma, or ranged martial arts like Gungo Pao, is a great idea.

>Overweight
Just work out, as others have said do a full body lifting routine every second day
>Depressed
If you've been diagnosed with depression that's one thing, definitely psychiatry will help you. If not (and either way really) get 8 hours sleep, take vitamin D3, take care of yourself (shower, brush teeth, get dressed, clean your room... Just keep things in order). And most importantly, know that thoughts come BEFORE feelings. Everyone thinks it's the other way around. All those times you're thinking "oh fuck, why did I do that", "man today sucks, my life sucks", etc etc, just fucking stop. I'm not saying "think positive". I'm saying stop thinking negative. If you think a negative thought, like "I look bad", just cut it out and don't let yourself get sucked into r9k levels of pathetic self pity. You need to stay strong against that shit, because it's something that's becoming too normalised... People and the media, advertisers, want you to feel bad, don't fucking feed Satan your false misery when you can just stop thinking of bullshit and laugh.
>Borderline addiction to porn
Just avoid porn, lewds, nudes, Instagram thots, anything like that. It's really not that hard when you do it for a few days, I cut porn out well over a month ago and I haven't missed it. Jerk off once, at most twice a week, if you have to.
>Antisocial
Keep doing what you're doing. Maybe try find a society you like and go to one event, see what you think. It's for you so who cares.
>Motivation
That's another thing people think you can "find". Fuck that shit. You have to DO things, it's again about "thoughts before feelings"; if you think "I'm so unmotivated, I'll never get things done!" You're just giving in to pathetic media programming. Cutting out porn will help you stop the need for a "feeling" before you do something that's absolutely beneficial for you.
If you really feel like you're losing focus, I find keeping a folder of pictures (like those ideals threads) gets me back on track.
