So I fell for this meme and cut literally everything out on this image about two months ago. Wtf is actually worked? I feel amazing for the first time in forever, my energy levels, confidence, and motivation have gone through the roof. Brain fog went away.
TO those of you who still do something on this list, what is your excuse?
i still take prozac because im at a very good spot in my life and im worried going off it will make me sad again so whatever
quit everything else though that helped

I still drink, it's only on the weekends, but it's heavy. I'm starting to think I have a problem...
Samuel Martinez
Yea but they're nasty in bed. The two hottest chicks I ever banged were both colombian. The last one was by far the best sex I've ever had. Crazy as the day is long, though.
Colton Martin
>i have plenty of vegetables with my other food
what do you mean? you eat at mcdonalds but is okay because later you also eat some broccoli?
Ryan Gray
I do all but alcohol, weed, meds, and no exercise. Am I supposed to be depressed?

when you drink can you stop drinking or do you drink until it's all gone or you can't?
Jace Johnson
Really miss weed even though I know I'm better off without it. Tried getting into CBD oil to as a healthier alternative and to help with the cravings, but I haven't found an affordable option that actually affects me. One step at a time I guess.

I drink till I'm fucked up. Like till I'm drunk enough to no want it anymore.

I take head meds because I'm bipolar and relllllllly bad shit happens when I start shifting. Last time I broke my hand and ended up on heavy antipsychotics. You lose all your gains when that happens.

Trying to be successful the complete way, body, career success, social, is devastatingly stressful.

How do you talk and interact with people without either drinking or eating shit food?
Logan Ward
Eat before you go out and plan in a few calories for an appetizer and a couple drinks.

Alexander Clark
Jesus christ, I fuckin hear ya. Getting shit pay was nice when I could pipe my coworkers, but I have a gf now so that's out the window.
I was thinking about bouncing for one of the bars in town, but that's gonna have me up late and might fuck with my gains if I don't get enough sleep. Office jobs are out of the question for the most part, because I'm in school and don't have anything to land a decent job with yet
Tyler Price
When I was in school I found the best pay for the hours was Catering. Less hassle than waiting tables, more money. But you will lose out on some weekend evenings to work big events. I would take home huge ziploc bags of grilled chicken and veggies from events every night too.
John Torres
how do you just cut sitting on the internet every free moment of your life? like what do people do instead, seriously
Daniel Bailey
This ain't an answer to your question, but it's something I've been thinking about a lot recently. I came back from college to stay for the summer, as you do, and I wanted to do something yesterday that wasn't sit on the computer all day. I looked up shit to do in my hometown and there's actually nothing. No community events listed online, no social things I'm aware of, nothing. I have no idea what to do other than sit inside on the computer- when I'm not working or working out of course. But I haven't been able to get a job for about 3 months of searching now, and I don't have any local gyms to join that offer decent membership rates like my college town, so... pushups and jogging it is. When I'm not on the computer, anyway.

No it isn't. Beta is sitting on Jow Forums whining about tfwnogf, letting cuck/small dick bullshit peddled by porn shills fuck with their heads and wondering what to do about getting laid by a 3/10 with a huge ego from tinder.

Anthony Price
what’s wrong with going on the treadmill? someone please explain. that’s my favorite (and only) cardio.

Bentley Butler
Social interaction tires me, and weed makes me enjoy playing guitar more. That's probably it for me, I'll probably quit weed once I'm outta college though, the availability in my dorm makes the ease of access to it a huge part of why I partake.

If you were smoking weed and/or drinking regularly then stopping that will have been what changed you the most.

The point of this post was not to make excuses to the OP, a literal nobody to me, or to display coping/denial for my vices. It is to show to lads who don't have their shit together (yet), but want to, that you don't need to go full monk to achieve a self control and a fulfilling and productive life

I should cut out porn, internet all day and going to sleep at 2 am.
I wouldn't cut out alcohol if you only drink in social environments and not by yourself.
Aiden Walker
i just need a gf
Colton Robinson
theres no evidence there would be any benefits for me to stop doing most of those things
Jack Watson
Why are pornhub and videogames on that list, theres not any evidence to support getting rid of these from your daily life?
Jose Ortiz
Weed for medical uses. And because I like it sometimes. I'm not depressed tho, have the best time of my life. Used to be depressed as a teenager and thought about suicide and shit. Never gave up, because suicide is just an "easy" way out, I fought against everything which was negative for me and people who mocked me are now alcoholics without any future.
I've been on a party last Saturday and got a lot of compliments.
We all gonna make it

I'm pretty fucking depressed right now D E S U. I can't get over the fact that no matter what - *No matter what* - pain and suffering are constant and will never go away. You hit one milestone, and its back to the baseline of, "well I still can't quite squat 3 plates for reps yet" or "well I got a gf but now I can't figure out what to do with my time for the next 60 years until my assured death at that time at the very latest."
I don't see anything to look forward to and I know much more agony is in the future. Trying my best not to let this poisonous attitude seep into my loved ones lives, they don't deserve it.
Isaiah Ramirez
Also, >social interaction Have like 5 good friends from high school that I chill with during the breaks, during the semester I have 1 good friend and a few drinking buddies. Khv as well. Limited social interaction never bothered me. Getting to the point where I dont care about relationships at all either.
Anthony Brown

I do all those things and am not depressed. Whats it like having bad genetics OP?
Julian Sanders
As long as you have the free time, what’s wrong with playing video games, assuming it doesn’t take up a majority of the day? Also some people just lift and eat casually, not everyone is going to be as strict.
Hudson Butler
it's a placebo literally then did a thing where they gave one group sugar pills another prozac and the sugar pills reported feeling slightly better then the prozac ones the only thing prozac does is lower test and energy and shit
Levi Price
20 days of nofap and noporn
The last two weeks I haven't played video games or watched anime and I didn't even notice that I stopped. I've just been doing other things instead without consciously deciding not to do indulge in the two above media.
Lads, am I about to make it? Is nofap the holy grail we've all been searching for?
Bentley Thompson
This is the post of someone who doesn't even want to make it.
Weed is arguably the worst one in terms of ability to make it. Even it's most ardent supporters admit that it makes you a lazy shit and leeches your motivation to do anything.
Why do you succumb to peer pressure Faggot? Are we anons on this board trying to peer pressure you into living a better life not as effective as the peer pressure of your drug addict friends?
Grayson Jackson

Elijah Cook
>it's a placebo >does worse than the placebo how fucking retarded are you?
Jack Russell
I don't know if nofap really helped for me, except to get me past an INITIAL social fear hurdle. Like I wanted to get laid so bad that that helped me overcome it and finally go on dates. After that though, I can go on dates without it now. What really helped in that image is stuff that gets put into routine such as exercise and sleeping early/waking early and eating right. Avoiding the stuff also helps with the routines. Avoiding videogames that keep me up very late so I don't want to wake up in the morning, avoiding getting so drunk I can't workout. Dropping games also gave me a shitload of free time so that if I wasn't lifting, running or climbing I was sitting at home wanting to do things, like going out with a girl. I can see why this works if you don't look for excuses and actually WANT to do it
First and foremost you have to recognize the purpose of a relationship and determine what having a partner means to YOU. Idk if you're religious but I'd recommend some of the Bible App's relationship devotional plans. You can ignore any of the religious context if you so desire (sex before marriage, growing in faith together etc.) and instead use it's template on partner criteria and expectations.
A partner is going to be your equal, you should not have to make life altering changes FOR them, you should make those for yourself and the partner should support you. Visa Versa.
A partner is going to challenge you to grow at an equal and healthy rate. They are going to hold you accountable and be glad in your success.
A partner is that, a partner. They will likely hold similar goals and you two will work together to achieve them. A relationship is not a trophy or a means of showing success. Your gf / wife should not be some end goal to measure how far you've come. They are another aspect of your PERPETUAL growth and development as a person.
You do not want a Stacie to go to the Bahamas with fuck on the beach. You want a Jessica or Rachel or fucking Gabriela who is going to hold fast to your side as you both endure the human experience and all it has to offer
my friends are all becoming stoners and its getting really annoying telling them that i really dont give a fuck about smoking and i dont ever plan on giving it a try.
i think its the culture and the "community" that drives me away from that shit more than anything.
I just do not want to live a life where I can't hit a dab after commute, 8hr work, commute, gym, commute. I'm fine if I can't get any, often have to be sober for days for business trips. I also never get high less than 2 hours before bed. I just can't envision a life where I can't get high just once on most days. Guess I'm a "junkie" despite being 6'4", 215 and 1/2/3/4 and making 80k at 25.
Colton Perry
Nothing is better than get fucked with friends and do funny shit. These are the nights I will always remember.
Blake Powell
Porn is not having a negative effect on my life (jerk off about every other day to vanilla after watching for about 10 min) I drink two vodka crans when I go out with friends then have water for the rest of the night, and it makes my night great. CBD has been an absolute life changer. When my state legalizes, I'll consider some of the 1:3 THC to CBD edibles before a run, but until then, I just skip THC
