How we doing frens?

Tomorrow will be 4 weeks in. Down 7 pounds per the scale today. Started at 203, weighed 196 today, goal weight is 160. Currently on a water fast, afternoon hunger has passed and I'm chilling.

At avg 1.75 lb/week, that puts me at goal weight on December 4th, almost 5 months from now. Settling into the routine and getting cozy, I'm gonna be here a while.

This may be the case. I don't know, and frankly I don't care. Assume you die tomorrow and assume you die in 100 years. The optimal life strategy for both should be equal.

Don't do anything for which the long term goal or short term goal is the only goal. Do what rewards you this very second and what rewards you after 6 months of consistent practice. Lift in a way that benefits you today. Work on your personality in a way that benefits you today. If your life today was shit, your life in 6 months will still be shit, even with a six pack. If the behavior will make your life shit in 6 months, it will certainly make your today also shit, even if you feel good stuffing your face with shit it's not a good day.

It's all in the overlap between long and short term reward. That is where the money is. You must enjoy the gym so much that even if today was your last day on earth you'd still go. Similarly with all beneficial behaviors.

I'm a wreck, but I'm also in a sort of good place.

Quit my job to work on a project with a buddy, moved in with him across the world digital nomading. Worked on it for 3 months. Got fat. The whole thing exploded a couple weeks ago, had to move back home. Now I have no prospects, no job, no responsibilities, no women, I'm fatter than I've ever been, and I miss my friend.

But, also it's a sort of turning point. My whole life I've had some responsibility, some plan. Was school -> college -> job -> this, and now I'm totally free. I've got literally zero going on. Nothing good, nothing really bad.

I'm completely alone. It feels like it's just me and God out here. I have no idea what to do with my life. The only guiding principle is I'm fat now, so I'll lose weight and get /fit/.

I'm a wreck.

My whole life got flipped upside down two weeks ago. Quit my job to work on a project, worked on it for 3 months, whole thing exploded. Good friend I worked on the project with was being dishonest with me, not maliciously I don't think, but I can't trust him anymore. Now I'm literally at square one. No job, no pursuit, no responsibility, literally nothing going on. Was living with the friend I was working on project with, now just living back in my parents house.

Doing a water fast today and did an 11 mile bikeride. I got fat so I have to lose like 50 pounds. don't even know what to do with my life except get /fit/. I miss my friend and I'm totally lost,

I just start about two weeks ago. Down 5 pounds on the scale, I look better in the mirror. But man is the progress gonna be slow. I got like 3 months ahead of me until I begin to approximate normal, and another 3 before I actually look good.

But when I look good it'll be worth it. Then I can go give girls my peepee and they'll be happy to receive it, and that'll take the depression away. I hope.

I don't remember being this sad when I've lost weight before.
