Were you thinking of giving up today? No you weren't. You made it through last week, you'll make it through this one as well
What are your goals for this week? What do you plan to achieve? List it all down.
Take a deep breath, hold it and exhale, move at your own pace
We're ALL gonna make it

Being sick really is a cheat code for losing weight. I am currently down to a respectable weight. Now I wanna lost ~7 kg more and then I am happy.

I think I'm going through another depressive breakdown (not that I never got rid of my depression completely). I feel lethargic and not wanting to do anything today.

I am still a 24 year old virgin traveling the world.
I am hibernating from the past month of on/off partying and taking it easy both to preserve my health as well as focus more on fitness and a slower paced lifestyle for the near future. And also to cut down spending quite a bit and focus on other goals while doing so.
I may try my hand at flirting with one of these Thai girls at a bar or something just to see how far I can get with them. May as well lose the v card before I turn 25 if I can.
My desire to be a better human being still stands.

I WILL STUDY HARD
I WILL PASS MY LEVEL 3 CFA EXAM THIS JANUARY
I WILL THRIVE IN THIS JOB
I WILL MAKE IT OVER THIS MOUNTAIN
A new filing period was begun. I’m anxious about the amount of work that I’ll have to complete over the next two months. But I feel much more confident after having already completed a filing once. I aim to learn from my previous mistakes and work more efficiently. This time is going to be better.
I’ve reached the point in studying where I’m beginning to review previous content. I’m learning something new every day and gaining more confidence. I’ve psychologically accepted that this time I will pass. Even if I fumble or doubt myself, by the time I take my exam, I will pass it. I’m ready to reach the peak.
Keep inching forward towards the summit frens. The path ahead may be difficult but the view from the top is worth the blood, sweat, and tears. WAGMI!

passed my certification with an 83 when i only needed an 80 for the level that i wanted. pretty excited to be done with that. have a call with a recruiter later this week and hopefully a consulting call for some extra cash. don't want to jump into another one too quickly because i think these are mostly shit but i am considering for a certified financial planner since the money is pretty good and i know most of it anyway. hate making an industry switch but i'm tired of my fate resting with useless indians. so my career path is either changing industries OR fixing their fuckups.
started Madcow today, basically treating it as the bridge to 531 in 2026. the accessory work keeps a lot of what i liked in stronglifts plus so i'm excited to run this for a few months.
cardio is getting easier and easier to get through, ended my 10k run in a sprint just for fun. had an epiphany that if i want to lift and run, then i have to get used to running at or around this weight.
speaking of which, weight has remained around 205, i want to get to 200 by November. Going to do another body scan, maybe Friday if its available, otherwise next week
started writing a meal prep guide/cookbook, geared to /fit/. dont know how i'll make it available yet, but i'm writing it from the viewpoint that you're retarded and don't know anything about cooking, to include what to buy and basic cooking skills. I've also just wanted to have a cookbook available with my recipes for easy reference. so that's my fun project.
back to separate beds with the wife, i'm just giving up and paid for my new bed outright. tired of dealing with her "light sleeper" bullshit. i've now spent, between the CPAP, appointments, and this mattress, over $2500 and im not spending another dime trying to fix it.
at least boot season should be back this week.

I started going to the gym at the end of August
A week later I benched the bar
Then a week after I benched 25kg
Then 30kg
Then last week 40kg
This week I did my warmup then benched 40kg, then the trainer said "ok we'll do 2 more sets and it'll hopefully be better" :(
and then I did 2 more sets but it was a struggle and I did not increase from 40kg

Had to break it off with a long-term half-girlfriend the other day. Now that I'm in my thirties, starting over again romantically isn't nearly as fun. But none of these girls want kids, or they're wrapped up in degrees that never end, or they're just patently brainwashed into integrating themselves into the corpo lifestyle. It's sad, man. Maybe I've been looking in the wrong places, but it seems funny to me that the men I know all want to get married and lock things down, and the women all favour their careers and travels and shit. I've gotta leave the big city, I guess. Been through this routine too many times.

I feel utterly unmotivated and defeated lately. I got laid off a month ago and haven't been able to find a similar position. There's a good chance that I'll be able to get something similar at the same company, but it depends on a background check that might take up to 8 months. I'm kind of considering getting some sort wagie job to fill in the gap. I'm fortunate enough to be in a situation where I don't need the money, but I am starting to feel pretty fucking useless since most of my time outside of the gym and doing cardio is just spent browsing the web.

Could someone explain gratefulness to me?
I get conciously being grateful for things, I'm able to do that.
I also most of the time am unconciously grateful, in the same way like I don't need to tell my mother I love her everyday for it to be true.
But what's the point in conciously and perhaps even audibly being grateful? Is it just to make you stop and appreciate what you have and that you don't have it that bad or is there something more to it?
Are (you) grateful every day anon?

Get a routine yesterday. Wake up at the same time, get to the gym, come back, and either apply for jobs or look for networking events or something for a few hours. Go to a coffee shop and do that if you can so you're around people. Dress like you're on the job. Find some online courses for free, or a project, literally anything productive. Check your state's unemployment site to see if they offer training. Even if you don't need it, fill your time with good stuff. If you don't know how to cook, time to learn or expand your skills.
I have been there and that shit will snowball so stay ahead of it.

it's even more annoying because all these little "not a dealbreakers" have piled up and now i'm not even at six months into marriage and i've gone from "i need an allowance to maximize the money for my future family" to "i need an escape fund just in case"

I’d argue that we need to be consciously grateful since we need to appreciate our lives and all of our little blessings. Things could be a lot better, but we have a lot going for us. I’m not sure I always am, but I try to journal one piece of gratitude every day. I need to change my attitude and become more grateful

Genuinely what is the fucking point? I get that women are literal retarded children in adult bodies but that is just asinine.
>>76700536
It's pretty infuriating, isn't it? The fact that your wife is prioritizing her adult daycare stuff over your marriage must be frustrating, man. Sorry to hear that. The girl I thought I was going to marry a few years back got wrapped up in the same type of routine and was awful at managing her time. You've gotta discuss this stuff with her before it gets worse, because I can tell you from experience that it will.
>>76701044
I've straight up gone out with women who enjoyed our first dates so much they asked me out for a second on the spot, or invited me up into their apartments and told me they'd love to see me again while in bed. Those types will also inexplicably block you afterward or hit you with giant texts about how they're "not ready to date." It's baffling, so I always expect the worst and then am pleasantly surprised if they can actually stick to what they say.

thx man writing/poetry is my thing too.
I use lyfta which is an app i guess like stronglifts. It just keeps track of the volume and has a neat little chart showing the fluctuation. It's really satisfying to see it trend up over a few months, I do 2 weeks heavy 1 week light and the curve just keeps bouncing higher so I'm pretty psyched about it.
I wish you continual success, discovery, and happiness with your creative pursuits for the rest of your life.

bros idk why women are like this sometimes. I married this girl and it was like the harder I worked the more of a distressed mess she became until she was literally just bedrotting for months. I ended it because I realized she wasn't my partner, she was my liability and she was willing to tank everything to escape responsibility--'we' didn't matter. I wish she had wanted to actually work toward the future we said we wanted together. She only wanted to stay broken bros. It's fucked.

I'll try my hand at it for sure, but after the few interactions with chicks and people in general I had during that party phase, I feel like I basically got the validation of the real thing. I never thought a hot chick would ask me of all people to dance, and talking to more girls and guys made me realize I'm not so fundamentally unlikeable after all. Strange maybe, but perhaps everyone is. Although maybe that reads as cope, but I'm not as neurotic about the whole dating or hookup thing as much anymore. That's not to say I won't try, but it's less of a point of stress now, especially since I know I can just go to a party place like that at any point, and with luck, actually hit a homerun instead of getting close

I worked for 6 or 7 months and saved up like 9 or 10k, had around 5k in crypto not doing anything so I had 15.1k, 14.3k or so after I bought the plane ticket. Been out here just under 4 months and overspent a bit on them so I'm trying to stay a bit more rural for a while to keep costs down while I work on things like my fitness goals and art. Should still be able to swing about 11 more months if not more depending on how frugal I get.
For cash, I'm hoping in the time I have remaining, I'll be able to grow my presence as a hentai artist and maybe pull in enough to slum around in the 3rd world indefinitely, since life's too short to simp for a boss's mercy every two weeks and not try to live on your own terms. I've been inconsistent so far with just posting studies, but I'm gonna lock in more and intend to cater to femdom fags.

yeah, it's no longer cheap, the "fast" part is irrelevant, it offers poor nutrition, it is made with terrible ingredients and flavour wise it actually disgusts me

my new bed comes tomorrow and i can't wait because i've just given up. "we can try to sleep together on weekends" nah that's okay.

I know exactly what that's like. My ex who was like that refused all help, wouldn't eat properly, wouldn't let me take her to see doctors, therapists, etc. She basically just checked out, and no approach I took appeared to help anything. I tried being sweet and understanding; I tried being firm. That type of person, unfortunately, will prioritize themselves and will give into whatever it is they have going on inside them. It's a tragedy, really. My health suffered tremendously in those days, but I was committed to helping her before I helped myself. She eventually had the audacity to tell me that she "didn't ask for help." What else are you to do with your girlfriend when she's struggling? I've never been so frustrated in my life. She sometimes sends me text updates (which I don't ask for), telling me about how she hasn't left the apartment in months, how she got kicked out of school, etc. It's maddening. Still refuses to change. It's like watching someone slowly kill themselves. It's changed me for the worse, frankly.

Life was slowly sliding down the walls of my colon like a shit, soon to reach the canvas of life that are my boxers to leave its skidmark. I thought that's where the culmination of my life was heading.
I bought a bag of heroin because I got so blackpilled I thought being an opioid addict would be a relief, because when you're addicted to heroin it takes away all problems in life but when you're sober as a judge you only have one problem: getting more heroin. I tried heroin last night and I felt alright at first, then the nausea and vomiting but I read that if I were to persevere and take antienemics I could push through and enjoy my drugs. So this morning I set up another line looking out my window feeling pleased with myself when it just occurred to me "holy shit I'm lining up heroin at 8am in the fucking morning." I dumped the shit down the toilet. I then smoked a big bowl of weed and made a nice tea and am now writing this. Bros I think I just saved my own life. Now I gotta lose weight. I don't know why but I feel pretty good after that knowing that even I have limits on nasty shit I do and can get fit again. Maybe we're all gonna make it after all. Smoke weed everyday.

Went from gig worker doomer to new career in four months with one weird trick. I realized I have been a vulnerable-type narcissist my whole life. Everything was always someone else's fault. I thought I was a special boy with a special purpose. I picked out flaws in other people to make myself feel better. Vulnerable type narcs are desperately trying to cover up feelings of emptiness and unworth. I started to actively stop being obsessively self-interested. I challenged myself to be grateful for my basic job every day and give them 150%, not to show off, but to thank them for the opportunity. All of my work relationships started to improve. I made many new friends and one of them said I should apply for a promotion. I got the job yesterday. It is technical and very well paid for my area. I can build a real life now.

I just need a day to chill after all the throwing up. I threw up (as in a session, not just a single gag) every 15-30 minutes at a slowly increasing interval for 14 hours. Great fun. I haven't even gone to bed yet. Also I realised there's a 4pk of grog but I'm not having that either.

What type of work have you been doing so far?
A life purpose is dynamic, it doesn't have to be the same thing throughout. Look for something that you're passionate about or at least interested in, are proficient at, and that solves a problem in society. The concept of Ikigaj is similar.
I'm a decade younger, but hope this helps

6am: Wake up, feeling like you've been in a car crash. Drag yourself out of bed to possibly force a shit out too early in the morning, shower and get dressed. If you're extra tired you just get dressed and leave after starring into the abyss and pondering life for an hour.
7am: Commute to work. If you're lucky it will be a 20 minute walk or drive. That's probably not the case. You probably enter the rat race with fellow wagies on the road, foot paths, public transport for 30-40 minutes
8am: Enter the building wanting to die. Manager smiling from ear to ear, hello happy campers, team meeting !
1pm: You've got a choice. Sit in the work canteen with people you can't stand, or walk back to your car that takes time out of your lunch break, but gives you time to reflect on how you hate your life
3pm: You want to go home, but you've got 2 more hours
5pm: You leave work, enter the rat race again, do it all over again
6pm: If you're lucky, you walk in through the door. You're unsure if you want to wank, shit, eat, sleep or cry.
7pm: After pondering for an hour, you force yourself to eat, household chores are on your mind, you do some, leave others
8pm: You're tired as fuck at this point. You shit post, scroll some shit on social media. You start to have a good time, but then oh shit time flies when you're having fun and its
10pm: I need to go sleep, need to be up at 6am. Now I've got a choice, cry myself to sleep or stay awake for a 2-3 hours more and wake up even more exhausted. You rotate those options over 5 days.
11:30pm: You've been in bed for 40 minutes exhausted and unable to sleep, but then go to sleep
6am: Alarm goes off
