>used to have nightmares from childhood >same reoccurring dream that I was getting beat up by someone and every punch I threw had zero power or speed >went on for 3 years with the dream happening occasionally >finally get cucked by a girl I fucking loved >join planet fitness (different gym now) >nightmares stop
Been a solid year now, I’ve gained 40lbs and people say I’ve looked noticeably bigger. I still can’t fill in the hole of all the times I’ve been cucked or fucked over but at least lifting gives me happiness.
Recently I have been imagining that I'm an kinda fat actor that has been cast to play a superhero and that I have 6 months to get in shape

you filled with O N I O N S
Lucas Reyes
I've had that same recurring dream with the punches. Shits weird. Lately I've been dreaming I can't do simple math I know I can normally do
Hudson White
I also sometimes had these dreams with zero power punches
John Turner
those "zero power" punches are normal. I have them too, you fear uselessness in an aspect of your life; you can't deal with it. At least I interpret them as that.
Easton Ortiz
These zero power punchs occured to me a lot aswell to the point that they drained my confidence in my ability to actually throw a punch if the need arises but i am yet to actually engage in any outright fights with anyone but thanks to those dreams i always feel like my punchs will be shit.
Samuel Johnson
The punches thing is normal, your brain thinks it's punching stuff but doesn't feel any actual feedback so it panics. Same with running.
Connor Parker
man i remember having dreams where something happened and everything i had to do to defend myself was very slow and no power. Like pulling a trigger, running, and throwing punches. At least now I have some control over my dreams, like the other night my ex's mom was convinced i stole her night stand and she called the cops on me. I escaped by climbing down a rainwater pipe only to run through the city to the town square where my Tribunal was being held. Ended up screaming at the council saying there law is shit and corrupted, I convinced them the only true judge is a trial by blood. The Tribunal ended up being a massive mortal kombat and i was able to escape once again through the chaos that ensued.
>be me roughly 5 or 6 yo >hanging out with same age cousins at grandparents >grandpa asks us to flex some muscle >he praised their "muscles" and gave them money while i got shit >always preferred them and thought i was the inferior one for no apparent reason >threw me out of the house when I was 6 and said I was good for nothing >thanks
>be me at elementary school >fairly obese >crush on a girl >ask grill's friend for advice >"well I really don't know you're so big and everything so maybe just don't" >asked her out anyway and got rejected, obviously
>later in elementary school >yes, still fat >always picked last in gym class even though I was good at soccer and baseball >see a question in some girl's notebook: "who would you rather date: [my name] or [extremely obnoxious and skinny boy in class with arms like twigs]" >some older kids start calling me "apartment house" because I was tall and well, wide >some classmate starts calling me "pharaoh" because it translates to "big house" >i was so happy at the time I just thought they were funny
>fast forward to uni, lost some weight along the road but still fairly overweight >lots of swimming pool and sauna parties where wearing a shirt is not practical >only now I start to realize how sad and disappointed I am with myself and my physique >the depression is real, no one will probably ever like me >hit the gym in order to become a literal aztec god of fitness to improve my self-esteem and body image and thus, improve my mentality >and more importantly prove all the cunts and doubters wrong >and I watched jojo so there's that too
self-hatred and sadness are great motivators. there's more to all this but basically pic related. I'll admit I still sometimes chuckle at the pharaoh thing.
I don't, but I imagine it's because it's an anime about very buff men, which makes it enjoyable for the majority of the fitness section of an anime imageboard.
