What was it that pushed you to become Jow Forums?

Agony of missing out on teenage love

>high school graduation
>get called up to receive diploma
>no one claps
>walk back to my seat in shame
Realized I was a pathetic loser and that it was time to turn life around. Gym was a big part for my transformation. Much better person today thank goodness

I was smoking tabacco daily for over 9 years
I was smoking weed daily for over 8 years
I was drinking beer daily for over 4 years
I was eating freezer pizza for over 10 years
I was playing videogames all the time and eating junk
I never did anything to exercise or get in shape or become more healthy

Basicly I was always sick and weak for years and one day I was at a party and I looked down upon all the people and noticed they all were so energetic and happy and then it just got to me... "Why are they all happy and am I sitting here in the back feeling sick?".

Thats when I threw out all my smoking shit, bought a pair of running shoes and got a gym subscription.

Now 4 years later i'm still depressed and tfw no gf but at least im physically more healthy so there's that. No matter how much you lift you will always be autistic and not enjoyable to be around

I'd rather be ugly and swole than just ugly

I wanted to know if there was more

thanks for sharing user

Still getting fit but basically I saw a lot of my friends from high school and college and my sister becoming overweight and unfit sjws and I thought I'd rather kill myself than have that fate.

thanks

Having my heart shattered into oblivion with no hope of ever returning, no matter how much meaningless sex I have, no matter how many times I try to move on, I moved on into another relationship that lasted 4 years and it never even came close to the her, and no matter how many PR records I break it still hurts..

but at least I'm Jow Forums

Tired of being a chunky shit

I took a parttime job that required some physical strength. I had a hard time whereas my collegeages did not, which made me realize how weak I am and I wanted to change that. At one point I was even incapable of doing my task, so pathetically weak was I. I carry this shame with me every day and I will not stop until I’m strong.

Was khv until 26
then had shit sex with sub 6/10 girls until 29
Wanted instathot hot bishes

still smashing sub 6/10 chicks but jacked now

30+ years of being an ugly lanklet. Then I realised, its futile anyway and even I had a body like Arnold, I'd still be butt ugly, insecure trash.

Now I just hide in my room and do Yoga 3x a week.

I was playing a lot of Diablo 3 and realized that if I put in even 1/10 in the effort in working out that I did playing that game I could get swole.

>Went to town alone one night
>No girl wanted to dance

How old are you, user?

Broke, bedridden, my dad just died two months ago, and my girl wanted an open relationship. Dumped her on the spot, started doing push up to feel something because I was on 2 pain killers.

Plato and Hitler. I realized that I was a massive hypocrite if i didn't lift while preaching the things i preach.

I would watch out user she's technically still a minor so you might get rape charges pressed against you

Realised that even fat and ugly chicks wouldn't see me as a potential mate, at least with my then current personality+physique.

>implying i'm fit
But realizing girls thought I'm pretty as fuck wanted me to also have a good body to match. Then I stopped because I lost interest in girls.
Then I saw JoJo and my motivation has come back. I'm hoping for turbo otter by summer, maybe roiding to become Jotaro level afterwards.

Whoo, what the fuck. Imagine how it must feel for your wife to say to your face that you aren't good enough to father her children because she knows you're so bad that you won't leave her for it.
Literally nowhere to go because she's the only one who's willing to pretend that you haven't lost just by being born.

Whole thread:
archive.is/uK79M
>I don't think walking out is the answer, especially if you've generally been a happy couple until now. Everyone fucks up occasionally and it doesn't sound like she was trying to be malicious. If you're unsure, try flipping the situation: if you'd tried suggesting something to your wife, something you knew she was sensitive about and you hurt her, how would you want her to react? To tell you, so you don't hurt her again or for her to clam up or walk out, giving you no chance whatsoever to redeem yourself?
As r/kimb00 said, she's probably trying to think this through in terms of whether you want to risk passing the trait on to your children, rather than not thinking of you as good enough to father her children. If she didn't think you were good enough, she'd not be making long-term plans like that.
However, is it harsh and has clearly hurt you, especially as it seems to be something you're sensitive about. You really need to talk to her about this.

Loneliness

There was literally no reason at first, I just started doing it and then as I continued I found more and more things to push me not to quit.

Eat less and start doing cardio and other varbie exercises. Oh and post tits

Thanks, reddit

>Dumped her on the spot, started doing push up to feel something because I was on 2 pain killers.
with this kind of attitude you're gonna make it, user. Keep it up, I believe in you

Because of low self esteem and anxiety. Outcomes of my first broke up when I was 17.

Control, I needed it.

starting lifting with some friends when I was 15 and one of them was jacked (teen standards, of course), so I wanted to be like that too. Got hooked on it and learned to love the pain now.

Disagree. Dump that heartless cunt asap. To think your wife would suggest using a faceless sperm donors sperm over your own is the height of insults and speaks to her inability to make solid decisions like why did she marry him in the first place?!

I had never really been fit. Over the last 8 years or so, I really let myself go. More and more fast food, less activity. Got out of a uniform job and into a desk job so I was moving even less, one that requires you to go buy your own outfits. Realized, "fuck, I have man boobs. This is not a good look. I'm on the edge of the blade here, if I don't fix my shit I will be fat."

Cut a lot of my fast food, started going to the gym. Starting to see the turn around on the scale now, feels good.

I just want to look good naked. I'm a 30 yo virgin. Nobody has ever seen me naked. I'll have plenty to worry about when it finally happens. Whether with a prostitute, a hook up, or my gf at least knowing my body looks as good as it can should boost my self-esteem.

Heartbreak

i can't see dick, i know its there but i cant see it. its way past time to not be in shape. i dont have money for gym sub so ill just cut out fast food, sugars, most carbs, run my ass off amd drink water. its going to suck amd i know im going to want to quit. but i cant see dick

Nothing pushed me, I was pulled

>to become Jow Forums
depression

>to start lifting
when i had to climb a bridge with my bike and my legs suck

I can't even imagine the feeling of your wife telling you right to your face that she wants another man to father your child. Holy absolute fuck.

I was getting older and realized that this might have been one of my last chances to get fit. And then recently split with my ex.

Start doing stuff with your new foundnd health. Going back to my old dojo after becoming Jow Forums changed my perspective on lifeHope you find happiness, brah.

I unironically thought it was going to give me a chance with girls

Here's your plan, bucko. It's a slow process, though.

its human nature to snark at what you fear as a possibility, defense mechanism and what not. still asslords but its a normal npc thing to do desu

t. retarded incel

>i want to fuck girls with man feet and no ass
Yikes

What the fuck makes you think that?
Good possibility she's in another relationship or something. Don't worry about it. If a girl says you're too good for her but won't explain what got her to that conclusion, she's probably right and you're better off not knowing.

>fat all my life until 18
>start boxing, drop weight
>focused all fitness efforts to remaining skinny
>around 21 realize I could actually get muscular
>hit the gym more and more
>started seriously 2 yrs što
>still fucking weak bench

So...how to improve bench?

I got tired of being a fat slob incel. Now I'm a happier, chubby, less slovenly proto-normie who has aspirations of Chad-hood.

The moment that some kids near the mall thought I was a girl.
I had long hair back then and was a skinnyfat skeleton. My belly always bothered me, but I never cared enough about my health to do anything about it.

Exactly how weak?

i wanted a girl to like me and I wanted to stop being a fat piece of shit. Now I just do it because I enjoy working out and I enlisted in the military.

2.5 years ago I couldn't bench 100 lbs. Now I'm almost at 3 plates. I benched 3x5 of s challenging weight, 2 or 3 times a week. It's fucking boring, it sucks to be on the same weight for a while. When you are, I usually start throwing in 5x5 days too, as well as doing AMRAP sets with 1pl8 when I'm done benching each time.

Bench fucking sucks to grind and it's boring as hell when you're on the same weight for weeks. If you are consistently challenging yourself, you will eventually break past it.

fucking up my chance with my oneitis

Junior high and first year of highschool I was a game nerd, then I started seeing anime too
>saw Free! and figured
>hey I live on an island I can swim a lot
>I'm also a 175cm like Haru
>I can get those bodies ez
then my graphics card shat the bed so I got a lot of free time and that was the final nail.

Pretty much this.
>Lifting for women
No.

Attached: 1544554070896.png (1920x1080, 1.21M)

Ouch. Sorry, user. But, really, would life be better if a bunch of normies clapped for you lol.

Was completely lonely in highschool, hated my family and at times I could tell they hated me and would kick me out as soon as I finished school, had one best friend in school that would eventually start distancing himself from me and would start hanging out with other people and we would no longer be friends, tfw no gf, had a brother that was borderline but we never talked, completely alone, was always sad and angry so I started going to the gym, wanted to be jakked and stakked but ultimately I realized I don't care about looking good and I sure as hell don't care about looking good for other people so just kept lifting heavy and fell in love with the gains.

Do it for yourself, don't do it for the pussy.

Anime, always anime.

>being a weeb
Never gonna make it, post bodies

my friend once told me casually to go to the gym, and i went
then someone else told me about Jow Forums
and i got into the cycle of visiting this site whenever bored(pretty much always), got addicted to constantly increasing my numbers(getting to outlift almost everyone in my gym in three months of training was pretty motivating)
if i wasn't in the gym, i was lurking Jow Forums, it sucked me in to the point when lifting accidentally took half of my life at the time

now, after 1,5 years, i'm just setting some long-term goals and then trying to achieve them, lifting gives me some sort of feeling of progression in my life, when everything else seem to stall
i didn't get any girl from this, they still reject me as they always did, i'm still a fucking outcast, getting Jow Forums isn't really that game-changing as some people would think, and in my opinion lifting for validation isn't really a good motivation

Just wanted to be the best person I could. Not that I want to feel superior to my fellow man, but just because it feels good. Find a girl you love, study hard, work hard, find art, and stay ripped. Also, it keeps you positive and increases you sleep efficiency.

Hated being weak and had serious body image issues as a kid. Was also horribly out of shape.
That and I was raped.

SO I took up lifting weights to make myself stronger look better and keep people away and ultimately help deal with the depression and probably undiagnosed mental problems I have.

Would effectively run away to hide in the gym/with my weights for most of my life. Then it became less of an escape and more of my life and way to enhance my life.

But I may be doing the same thing again now.

I was super weak, and physically incapable of a ton of things, even walking up a slight incline without getting exhausted. I was tired of its and decided to change this. I'm glad I did.
