Should we keep this thread to only 1 time per week? /fit isn't that populated. Or Biweekly.
Perhaps on a rotation? A single /sig/ can stay up for several days on Jow Forums, but will be finished within hours on Jow Forums.
Sup bitches, so I quit weed but now I want to quit coffee so I bought some weed to deal with the misery. Am I just spinning my wheels in a morass of addiction or is this the time I break free?
Holla at me in the replies!
When does this thread become deleted? Yesterday there was only one but it became deleted.
Jow Forums doesn't want it
Jow Forums doesn't want it
/sig/gers don't want the indignity of going to Jow Forums
It's a conundrum
>tfw got a new gf
>things are getting better and better
Also, I'm stuck at my lifts since my newbie gains are over. My guess is that I'm not eating enough, since I slipped with my diet because of money issues.
Gonna fix it during the weekend and start to cook some meals to bloatmax more easily.
Good, Jow Forums ruins everything that touches. /sig/ could move to Jow Forums but I think they do not allow generals there.
Some user once recommended Meditatios to read, but he specified which translation is good and why. Anybody remember which one it was?
I want to improve my skin and hair, specially now that summer is coming to an end. Any recommendations on what should I look for when buying shampoo/skin cream? Also, how often should I shampoo my hair?
I've quit social media and picked up reading again. I'm also going to learn a second language but unsure which would be useful. There are definitely languages I want to learn but they're useless unless I can put them into practice.
My ex gf of like ~1.5 yrs ago hit me up recently
Idk what to feel desu, ever since we broke up I really focused on myself and haven't had much female prospects
We were long distance and I just don't see a point in trying to get together again, but I also don't see the harm in talking off and on
/pol does want it. the mods dont.
aldo, /fit sig and /pol sig are largely different. One is individual focused and the other is for the improvement of the ethnostate
Jow Forums is full of dyel homosexuals and Jow Forums is full of mix-raced guys in the closet
Mfw skipped the gym again. How do I get back into it?
Switch to something like black tea
I'm learning Japanese and German myself. I've also got back into reading. Plan on going thru all the major philosophy stuff. Once I'm done with that then I feel I can start writing a novel. I may have to re read the philosophical works tho. But it's cool. I plan on learning French, Italian, Russian and Arabic as well. Maybe Korean. Might not all be useful. But I do plan on traveling. Good luck with your stuff man.

>What improvements have you made this week?
Not much really, but i was more social than usual.
>What plateaus or vices are troubling you?
I'm having trouble stopping watching porn and masturbating, it's hard for me to go more than 2 days without porn.
>What's your end goal?
I don't really have an "end goal", but a goal i have now is getting my driver's license, which i used to tell myself was useless and then a job
>What's the best advice you have for anyone posting here?
Making a schedule and keeping is a good way to become consistent and keep doing useful things every day.
How do I stop wasting time on the internet and on sports? I follow a lot of them (motorsports, tennis, football/soccer and then there's special events like the Olympics).
I want to do things, like learn or connect with people but I don't know how.
I have FOMO, if I don't watch a certain event.
she's your ex for a reason
>What improvements have you made this week?
I'm trying to plan out my time per day, inspired by an user on the last thread.
>What plateaus or vices are troubling you?
Food, as always. It's hard to not eat so much, and to resist cravings when they flare up. I go to class everyday and the temptation to eat in my free time is high.
>What's your end goal?
Look like Brad Pitt in Fight Club.
In all seriousness, I've been fat my whole life and it's affecting my health. I'm down 20 lbs since the start of summer but I have at least 100 to go, though I could probably stand 120.
>What's the best advice you have for anyone posting here?
Don't LARP. Post if you're wanting to change or encourage others. We're all gonna make it brah.
Pick something you like or are interested in, not what is useful. If you pick a useful lang you won't have the motivation because it isn't fun.
What is your daily routine guys?
>6:30am, wake up
>drink some water, stretch, go to lifting class at 7
>lift hard for 1.5 hours
>come back to dorm, shower, eat breakfast
>go to classes
>back to dorm or library to study/listen to music/sing to myself
>change into work uniform at ~7:45pm
>clock in at 8:00pm, work till midnight
>asleep by 12:15am
and repeat
Talking to an ex always depends on the circumstances of your relationship. If you two were friends and maybe got into a brief relationship, it should be alright to hangout with her and other people. If you two had a long relationship with an awful breakup, she is probably trying to get back together or fuck you over.
Also, no matter what, if she has another man and wants to see you again, forget about her.
pol makes me so fucking mad i swear
those guys are such fucking jerks and they always call me names and shit whenever i go there, try to keep it here if you can or else i`ll just stop ddoing this stuff and i really need help to improve
When do you fit your homework in?
Why doesn't Jow Forums want it, honestly? I'm genuinely curious

I'm looking into dressing for casual wear for a manlet Jow Forumsizen but /fa/ is just giving me the runaround. What had worked for you fellow manlets? I want to attract the qts.
also theres this qt shorthaired girl that walks by the lunch hall the same day every time and shes stunning. Thing is shes always in a rush to her classes. How do I get with her?
I went to a indoor rock climbing gym meetup group on monday.
Haven't touched vidya in week
Started playing around in FL studio to make my own beats
Can I just cut my lovehandles with a chainsaw? Not even my man boobs are as bad anymore, my chest starts to actually look like a God damn chest, but these lovehandles. God fucking damn I can't do this anymore.
Keep going, man. Those things are fucking bitches and don't want to leave but they eventually will. ALSO DO YOUR OBLIQUE TRAINING. NON-NEGOTIABLE.
A girl hasn’t expressed interest in me in 20 days, how do I change this
>What improvements have you made this week?
Finished a 24 hour dry fast.
>What plateaus or vices are troubling you?
Porn and potato chips.
>What's your end goal?
No porn, less potato chips.
>What's the best advice you have for anyone posting here?
Go outside at least once a day and interact with a stranger.
You don't. You move on and continue your life.

Is sleeping around with tinder girls worth it as a hobby or should I focus on achieving my ideal self first?
I'm having a hard time getting over this evil, abusive, beautiful, foreign girl I that left me and I'm conflicted about whether or not I should be "fucking her out of my system" so to speak.
There are better hobbies by far, user. I'm personally a fan of the following:
>woodworking
>metalworking
>gardening
>hiking/camping
>hunting/fishing
>reading
>sewing
You don't have to be an expert on it, just set up a list of projects and things you wanna do and just pick away at it when you find that you have free time. I've found that my list grows just as fast as I can tick things off and it keeps me mostly occupied.
>What improvements have you made this week?
I closed my first deal at my new job.
>What plateaus or vices are troubling you?
My new job interferes with fitness sometimes. Smoking weed in my current situation will no longer be sustainable and it will be difficult to adjust to that.
>What's my end goal?
To continuously improve, years ago when I was fat, broke, and depressed I dreamed of getting to where I am today. Now that I'm "here" why would I stop. I can't believe I lived my life in misery for so long, and I can't wait to see what life is like in another 5-10 years of improvement
>What's the best advice you have for anyone posting here
Don't take anything you read here too seriously. Or that it's ok to slip, just don't fall.
I.E: if you slip and have a cookie, that's fine, but it's not an excuse to eat the whole box.
Or, If you slip and skip a day of training make sure you don't fall and skip the whole week.
>Is sleeping around with tinder girls worth it as a hobby
I tried doing this but around LINE. Turns out the first sloot I snagged was actually kindhearted and loving. Still with her 2 years now.
Anyone?
you're looking in the wrong place. people who figured out how to stop wasting time on the internet, are not here...
best of luck to you user.
Try restricting what you surf the web on, most things are a pain to navigate on a small screen and you should cut down on the constant "opening of a new tab and checking what you checked 5 minutes ago" habit.
That or try to go completely cold turkey for a day, then two, a few days etc. I put my laptop on a shelf for a week and it was the most productive time I had in a while.
Not being able to smoke is not a plateau or vice lmao you stoner fuck
Who else /autodidact/ here?
Teaching myself philosophy, logic, mathematics, history, basic psychology, and business skills everyday whilst wageslaving. Trying to study classic cinema to get a better appreciation for the art as well.
I just found out the girl ive liked for over a year is a dating an old friend of mine, which means im throwing in the towel for good on her since im not gonna date the ex of a friend if they ever break up.
I figured i should be heartbroken but all i feel is relief that that door is finally closed for good.
I'm wondering what the most healthy way is to get over this and come out a better man.
Any anons with similair experiences or insight?
As of this minute I’m one week weed-free :^}
In terms of good stuff I finally fixed my overhead press form and got 145 for two reps. My squat form got really bad as I approached 365*2, so I've been doing extra practice volume to try and get the muscle memory down. I'm feeling kind of shitty that my progress is so slow, especially considering I'm heavier (chubbier) than I'd like.
They should just make a new board for self improvement. To make it less of a Jow Forums clone, they could just make the board be about self improvement outside of the gym/working out.
>the girl ive liked for over a year
At this point, chances are that you are infatuated by your idea of her rather than the reality of her.
This was my problem for a while. I kept falling for every girl that was remotely nice to me, or so I thought. I was actually falling for my ideal version of her and ignoring any kind of flaw. On my 21st birthday a few weeks ago, I took a vow of self. I seek to improve myself and society and naught else, at least not until after college. Ironically, more women have started talking to me now, but I don't have the time or the desire for them any longer. Maybe it's nofap? Who knows
shit tier hobby
get a decent gf for sex and do something productive
this is incredibly potent advice
I got my dream girl and she irritated the fuck out of me to the point I couldnt stand to be around her
Tips for quitting porn guys? Ive been stuck in a weed/degenerate porn spiral for as long as I can remember.
Reduce temptations as much as possible, i.e. make sure you don't feel the need to fap in the first place. For me this meant avoiding other parts of Jow Forums as much as possible. BRAP threads have been fucking rampant recently.
But even then, you're still going to get tempted at some point. I think that's a part of the challenge; you're also training your discipline. Just think about how you would feel after fapping. All that hard work gone to waste for a temporary moment of pleasure.
Go camping for a few days. Disconnect from everything.
Rinsed through 148 pages of my last textbook of the summer, was topping my programme last year and have studied hard af over the break and can't wait to hit the ground running. Got all my meals for the next 10 days planned out and managed to shop very cheaply. Passed probation for my work promotion to assistant store manager from duty manager.
... Just wondering wtf I'll do with this degree (mchem). Not sure I wanna be a science teacher anymore, and retail management I'm doing now I don't wanna pursue either
>What improvements have you made this week?
Been doing daily exercise. Nothing crazy but started getting into weighted calisthenics. Also ordered some nootripic powders, so I'll be experimenting with those to help with more focused study.
>What plateaus or vices are troubling you?
Mostly getting over my ex. My apartment complex is connected to her work. So quite often I'll see her when walking out of my apartment. She's been quite cold to me lately and that bugs me. Honestly it's just dealing with the idea of rejection on such a personal level. Her explanation of why we broke up just didn't make sense to me.
>What's your end goal?
I'd like to learn a few new skills to set up some extra streams of income on the side and hopefully move into a more lucrative industry. Right now I'm working on web dev and some higher level programming. Honestly I'd just like to turn my breadth of knowledge into something that brings in more money so I can travel. I've never left my state and people always talk about traveling. They are so in disbelief when I told them I've never gone anywhere and I need to change that. It makes me feel like a loser.
>What's the best advice you have for anyone posting here?
Every problem you have has a solution, but it might not be the one you like.
-----
Look into the Ivy Style or possibly Prep. Trust me, it's a style you can grow with and will always look good. It's not about trends, it's about tradition and what works. The biggest thing is colors, be reasonable and stick to the classics: navy and khaki.
The fuck did she say to you?
>15 days no fap
>13 days no fizzy drinks
>2 days no weed
>when my pouch of tobacco is gone thats it for smoking (should be tomorrow)
feeling better and better each day friends
i made a chart in paint to track the progress of things i want to quit/start doing and have it as my background, i find its helping to keep me on the right path the more it starts filling up the less i want to fuck it all up, part of the motivation to stop pmo for me was the very real fact that the more i go into it the further away from real sex and meaningful interaction i get, and as im getting older i realise im only here because my father had me and his father him all the way back to the first organisms if i die without having kids and at least 1 son ive ended a several million year long chain because i cant stop jacking it, that starts to weigh on the conscience a bit
Any tips on motivation? I've quit weed but am struggling with cigarettes and porn.
Well, it really all depends on what your end goal is, user.
Have any of you cured your depression?
How did you do it?
Professional help and going full psychopath e.g. not give a single fuck what other people think.
In terms of cigarettes, to quit completely and not pick up weed again as an alternative. Might be challenging with it being legalized and normalized in Canada.
Porn I'm close, not really seeing the appeal in getting off to other people having sex. Need to get a gf for that one.
I'll give you my honest answer user:
I was browsing Jow Forums one day, though I can't recall what board and I saw pic related. I didn't just look at it for a few seconds, I devoured it. It struck a chord in me and made me realize what I want to do with my life. Everything I do is going towards achieving that goal and being depressed isn't a part of it.
No, that's not it. What are your end goals? What do you want to do with your life?
one of my big problems is that I didn't care what people thought for so long
it's cool that it worked out for you that way, user
I'm in therapy right now and it's so slow paced. It's pretty demoralizing desu
Help people and spread positive energy. Studying political science so not sure how I'll go about that.
Therapy won't help you user. You need to give yourself a reason to live and that starts by acknowledging that only you can give yourself that reason. Search for it and it will come to you.
I used to drink 10 cups of coffee a day, now I-m down to 2.
I reduced the amount I drank by 1 cup every 5 day.
(9 cups for 5 days, 8 cups for 5 days...) now I'm at 2.
Read The power of Habit.
When you get the urge to drink coffee, replace it with herbal tea (don't drink black tea because it has the same or more amount of caffeine than a cup of coffee).
Is waking up at 4 am every day worth it or am I just going to be tired all of the time? I usually wake up around 7 am everyday and go to sleep by 1030
Depends on what time you go to bed. Just make sure you're getting between 9 and 7 hours of sleep and you're good.
I like the gym being empty when I go, so I'd mainly wake up that early for that reason alone. I just want to make sure it's not an autistic thing to try and get used to
>What improvements have you made this week?
Not much improvement this week. Mostly just trying to get back into working out after having neglected that all month.
>What plateaus or vices are troubling you?
My big issues I'm having right now are a) it's hard for me to be motivated when everything I can do has no real effect on my bigger issues so it's hard for me to do anything and b) I need to get out of debt but I can't make any real progress.
>What's your end goal?
I honestly have no long term goals because I can't even start on any long term goals until I can get my finances in order.
>What's the best advice you have for anyone posting here?
NEVER GET A CREDIT CARD!!!!!!!
Care about the people who care for you. Care for the people who want you in their life. Do not care för any NPC.
>NEVER GET A CREDIT CARD
this is good advice for many years i had a credit card and was paying of regular monthly payment but the amount i owed kept creeping up so i payed it off with my saving and havent used it since, instead what i would have payed monthly goes into my savings instead, it pains me to think about how much extra money i spent using the credit card in interest payments
Nah that's totally fine. It might strain hanging out with friends if they're night people, but there's nothing autistic about waking up early.
How do you build up credit then? I'd like to be able to get a loan to build my own house some day.
I don't know if I should thank you or curse you, OP. I'm a 30 year old wizard and was seriously considering visiting a prostitute this weekend just to get it over with. I think I'll use that time to exercise or meditate now.
Maybe pick a program that is fun for you! For example if I don't go to the gym I'll go to a playground and do some calitenics because the park is closer then the gym. Also I love bodyweight training along with weight training
Bros how do I stop wet dreams? I'm losing protein and valuable nutrients to the dream gains goblins
At my bank there's this think called ready reserve loans they give about 100 dollars and they can help you get some credit as long as you pay the amount you loaned
>What improvements have you made this week?

>What plateaus or vices are troubling you?
2 years ago today i was in hospital with anorexia and i guess some of the mental side effects are still lingering because im fatter than ive ever been and not really coping well with that
>What's your end goal?
i just want to get in shape for the race war. unironically woulndt mind being a politcian. people respect fit dudes
>What's the best advice you have for anyone posting here?
religion helps
if you want to get a credit card to build your credit score id say be smart with it, only buy things that you have money for and pay it off straight away and keep it to small amounts to avoid the interest being to much do not become dependent on it, if you cant afford something dont think fuck it ill buy it on my credit card and pay it off later, dont buy it, as someone who did this i can tell you it can get out of hand quick
tips on getting in shape for the race war. I am serious. I live in a country with so many shitskins in it that it's unpalpable.
Starting a cut for the first time. Kinda nervous desu. Don't want to lose what little strength/gains I have, but at the same time I just realized I legit have a dad bod.
Wish me luck.
chest.
heaps of fucking chest
chest is massive intimidation.
chest is the biggest part of my body and i alreayd look heaps more intimidating even though my arms are fairly small.
just do big 3
chest
arms
shoulders
all are massive for clothed aesthetics
Just do it. Force yourself, the result won't come until you stop being a 'skipping' bitch.
Thank you.

You don't. Stop living for other, be happy by yourself, you'll attract what you want. Stay focus, you'll make it.

Don't know what would be weird. Just have a convo with him about science and facts, bring him the proof that this is bullshit.
>sleeping around with tinder girls
This is not a hobby, you just want to forget your 'ex'. That no hobby, in no fucking way. BUT if it helps you get over the previous girl, do it. Nonetheless, please, never forget to respect the girl you hang out with/your ONS/FWB/whatsoever. Otherwise, the toxic girl you had before would have won, and you would just be hacking as she did, and you know how is it to suffer from bitching behaviour. Enjoy your sex life, as long as you do it respectfully, no worry.
Thanks for contributing mate.
Sounds great.
What is your routine ? How do you schedule ? What tools do you use to memorize, train, an so on ?
Would like to here more on those.
Delete everything you have from her. Number, social media account, destroy the gifts, the photographies, the letters, etc. You have to forget everything totally, and by destroying/deleting everything you doesn't allow her to come back again and her you more. While doing this, focus on yourself, on work, on your dream. It might be hard, but it's definitely worth it. Good luck user.
>that my progress is so slow
Patience, dedication, discipline. That's all you need. Keep going, don't fuck everything up by wanting to move faster. Keep it up.

So if I don't give a fuck about aesthetics and just do the big compound lifts and do them hard and heavy woudl that be enough? I have done boxing before so I know how to throw a punch. For instance I do ropework for cardio since even if I am "heavier" I can skip rope better than normies because of boxing.
Depends on what kind of hair/skin you have.
For shampoo, buy one without silicone. If you don't have dandruff, just pick the one with the best inci and a fragrance you like. Or you could try to wash your hair without shampoo.
>how often?
As little as possible. It's not really harmful if you wash daily, but it's good for the skin on your head if it can regulate itself. Try pushing the washing cycles as much as you feel comfortable with it
>skin care
Depends much more on the type of your skin
>What improvements have you made this week?
Just started my first week of college, so i've been getting up at 6:30 every day to lift, as well as healthy eating, cold showers.
>What plateaus or vices are troubling you?
Getting enough food in, shaking off old procrastination habits.
>What's your end goal?
To get overall more lean, live a healthier lifestyle, and talk to more girls.
>What's the best advice you have for anyone posting here?
People don't realize how easy it is to live your life more productively, I've only been going for a week and I already feel more motivated and disciplined just by waking up early and getting shit done. Don't go into this for vain reasons like attracting girls and to be a chad, this path is to strengthen every aspect of your life and to become a better man. And once this happens you will see that women will give you the time of day, and that you will command attention in the room. However this won't matter to you because you have elevated yourself above the rest.
im doing behviour science right now mate and i can tell you for a fact the larger your chest is and the more rounded your shoulders are the more intimidating you will look
overall aesthetics are trash for street brawls dont even worry about them
you want to pay attention to clothed aesthetics.which is basically just chest and shoulders.
the big compounds are a1 anyway regardless
Just continue dropping redpills son. I am listening.
You've got time. Explore, try things, experiment, do shit. Once you find something you like and/or you're good at, stick to it and make the most of it. In the meantime, experiment as much as possible. Take part time jobs while doing this for getting practical. Don't worry, you'll make it.
>pic related
Go see a therapist. It will be useful, they are here for you, this is their job. They've seen tons of fucked up people, and they actually like to see them improving because of what they advice you. If your first experience/first therapist isn't as good as you would, try another one. They are multiple therapist with different approach, you must find the one that fits you.
You'll make it brother.
Just have a night made of 5 to 6 REM cycles. Usually it's around 7 to 8hours of sleep. Do something that fits you but never forget that being healthy is the most important treasure you have. Don't fuck up.
Good choice. 'Before sining, try improving.'
Good luck brah
Its all a mental game man. The disciplined and focused human mind can achieve incredible things. I wouldn't try to go cold turkey right away but slowly and slowly decrease the amount of times you fap each week, and soon you'll realize what a waste it is.
