my mom's been smoking all her life and told me it's one of the only things that makes her happy

really fucks me up inside when she says shit like that

Tell her contededness is what she is really enjoying, and that it can be found through other things, like meditation

dem son
My mom got sick really bad and the doctor said it was liver and kidney failure which caused a blood infection and could lead to death in a matter of weeks. Shit scared the crap out of my family.
Luckily, it was actually just a urine infection but it had affected the kidney. It surely made me think about my parents more often.

I just turned 23 last week and I didn't enjoy my birthday that much. I didn't feel older but I wasn't 22 anymore. I don't know, it was weird.

But now I also realize that THIS is my sexual prime. Young enough for 18y/o's, old enough for milfs, and everything in between. I feel like going balls deep in most of the women I pass by on the street. Just got in a relationship though, which is fine because it will help me stay focused and she is a cute 20y/o Russian girl with a tight ass pussy

Just try to look on the bright side of where you're at age-wise. Talk to older people and ask them what they wish they had cherished or done at your age. Some of you are bitching about being 30 or whatever, but you're still young and nimble enough to go on long hikes and to even put up real heavy weight. Don't worry about the past, just focus on the present and how you want to be in the future brah

Breh, 18 to start lifting is the best, ur not a 16yo kid but ur still undefined as a person, by the time you hit 21 which are like prime years for shitton of sex u will be a shreded god with developed personality and confidence slaying pussy left and right

Just dont give up, and if u fall, get up and continue immediatly, dont go “oh well i tried”

But videogames and porn are better than sex

The struggle is the way, my brother

It's noob gains. But it's a start. Do it user, visit /fat/ or /FPH/ or /QTDDTOT/ and make the most of this Taiwanese Tapestry Appreciation Forum.
I feel I've gone too far though. It seems that people are pretty "do you do anything else user besides lift? It seems like you're no fun any more [read: eat shit and drink myself to oblivion]
Went out last night and drank myself to oblivion but didn't get drunk while all my unhealthy friends were pissed as farts. Now everyone got mad because I was getting so much female attention.

His aunt (my great aunt) is the same, she's 92 and still cycles to her part time job or the store everyday and doesn't need any help living alone. He's kind of a prick sometimes but I'm thankful for the genes.

You're coming face to face with the tough reality of life.

Every body is more fucked up then you could imagine.
Every one has more struggles then you could imagine.

> I don't know how to feel. These are not the people that I grew up around. I'm still shocked.

When the US made the switch from CRT tvs to HD tvs, there was a TON of controversy about the fact that viewers could now see blemishes, pockmarks, and acne on people's faces.

They were seeing the SAME PEOPLE but in higher resolution. In a more "real" way. And it was uncomfortable.

This is what's happening to you.

You're going from a "low-resolution" understanding of your parents to a "high-resolution" understanding. You're seeing the pock marks. And it's shattering your world, because in the low resolution view, everyone looks beautiful all the time.

This is going to be very emotionally difficult for you and confusing, but it's VERY important for your maturation.

Starting to notice my parent's flaws. Not just physical now. They are slowly getting older which makes me sad but seeing that they are in fact human instils me with a sense of accomplishment as I can relate to the weaknesses one finds in themselves. I know now that my time with them is precious and much like my other dear friends I must try to remain a companion to them no matter how they veer to the end of their lives. Have I done it fellas? Is this what being man really means?

Aging is the one thing we all struggle with. I turned 30 a couple months ago and I get the feeling that puts me in the upper rung of the age ladder here, but fitness is still worth pursuing. 30 isn't even that bad, all things considered. I'm getting laid more now than ever, but I get the feeling that's just because 30 year old women are just easier to sleep with.

That being said I can still feel my body losing it a bit. I can't just punish my joints in the way I used to, things tend to hurt a bit sometimes and not in the good way. Weird little pains pop up, you end up needing to be a lot more responsible with your health.

I regret not starting earlier, but I'm glad I did at all. In an ideal world I would've started lifting when I was 18 and just took advantage of all the free shit at school; free gym, unlimited free meals (holy fuck), etc. I also didn't have a single scrap of fitness knowledge back then though so it's a moot point.

"Youth is wasted on the young" is bullshit. Have fun, grow in whatever way you feel is best, but just be honest with yourself. I spent a lot of time lying to myself. Still do. At the end of the day the only person you're beholden to is the man in the glass, just like that copypasta says. You can lie to the whole world, but you should never lie to yourself.

Sidenote that is relevant to the story: only time I saw him cry was during a real knock down drag out argument we were having about me being forgotten he relied on me a lot without a ton of appreciation while growing up as I was the middle child. To this day, it really fucked with me and changed my perception of our relationship. It showed how much he relied on me and cared about me despite not being able to show it. He was a single father after all. Never dated because he didn't want to upset my brother (legitimately autistic.) He didn't have the luxury of anyone else taking the burden of raising us off him besides out grandparents. 10/10 dad. 10/10 man

That sucks man. Please don't restrict your mom's calories too much more. Despite what beginner fitness forums like Veeky Forums say, weight loss is not as easy as reducing your calories. As you continue to give your mom less calories, her body isn't going to use her fat as a primary source of energy. Instead, her metabolism will slow down drastically to make up for the reduced caloric intake; so her body will work less efficiently - hair loss, she'll feel cold all the time, unhealthy skin, fatigued, etc. The human body evolved to first reduce your energy expenditure BEFORE it uses fat as a source of energy - I'm worried you'll unintentionally do more harm to your mother than good. If you want to learn more I recommend the book "The Obesity Code" by Dr. Jason Fung
