When did you decide to turn it around?

maybe tomorrow

I was constantly thinking of suicide. One day I saw a video of an old Japanese man looking down at a month old corpse of a man who strangled himself in the forest. The body still had nike sneakers on and some tattered cloths. The old man said something along the lines of "This isn't heroic, this is giving up". At that point, I realized that I wanted to live

If this is true just go at night. If there’s no night just go in during the day. Either way just quit being such a faggot man you can’t just be scared forever. Gym anxiety is pointless if you think you’re going to be getting mocked at the gym trust me they’re mocking you at Mcdonald’s way harder.

I was fucking a girl at a music festival and was embarassed by my naked body and being out of breath lol

lol

Mom got breast cancer

When I got to 90kg. Scared the shit out of me. I'm 83kg now.

My brother died, so I am now my father's only son. I want to make him as proud of me as possible, almost as compensation for losing his other son.

Getting fired from my job kinda forced me to reevaluate my life as a whole, starting with my physical health. I could flip a tire that weighed more than me, bust it down, replace the rubber, bolt it back onto a bus and repeat that four times in 40 minutes flat, but I couldn't jog more than two minutes at a time, and I failed at a 65lb bench press my first workout. My diet has been shit since I started working, mostly fast food. Plus my brain has been fucked from shitty sleep since basically forever, which is what probably really got me fired. I'm still a weak fag, but I'm not eating fast food anymore and I'm getting a sleep study next week to see if I've got the ap, which is what I'm kinda suspecting at this point.

Listen man I have never met a single gym rat that hated fatties at the gym. Most hate the bros that stay on their phones or dick around with each other while hogging machines. I got fat after being a gym rat for years so I know the struggle, but I'm down 20 lbs and I feel so much more confident. I know it may sound like a meme but start tracking your calories and macros (I use an app for this) that will start your weight loss and be the biggest driver behind it. Start eating cleaner, it will give you more energy and kill your cravings for processed foods(itll take like 2 weeks so be strong). Start working out, it doesn't have to be huge workouts, just something that gets you into the routine of going to the gym. And finally the biggest true meme of all stop watching porn, playing vidya and shitposting online, you don't need to completely give these up but take as much of a break as your addiction can handle. You are frying your motivation by giving yourself constant dopamine hits. Good luck user I believe in you, take a naked progress picture and put it on your desk or near your computer so you can be disgusted by inactivity.

I’d had 4 months of chemotherapy and was about to start radiotherapy I basically hated myself and my life, but I was done feeling sorry for myself

just started going with my dad when i was young, so Jow Forums came with the whole package
I did decide to turn around my whole world view, though, when I saw my first Pride march in June of 2013. (I live in Montreal). I naturally discovered the rest.

bro im a lanklet and i get you but no one honestly cares bc if youre grinding daily they have respect for you

>was 287
>now 187
When I finally found myself strongly considering suicide because I was so unhappy with myself mentally and physically. Getting dressed or even being in front of a mirror could ruin my whole day. Asked my fit friend what I should do, he gave me sources for all the nutrition info I needed, taught me how to count macros, gave me basic lifting resources and held me accountable for the first 3 months every day. 2 years in, still have work to do but life is worth living now.

I work out for kaos chan. I think she likes masculine type of guys since she is so small and feminine.

The fuck? At my high school everyone cheered for every single name called. If you don't cheer its not so much an indication of unpopularity on the person's behalf so much as it is an indication of rudeness on the people in the crowd's. Who the fuck doesn't courtesy cheer in moments like these?

DUI. Got really lucky, could have completely ruined my life but instead it was the most important thing to ever happen to me.

>feminine
that creature is literally devoid of female characteristics

I was constantly having to have my shirts taken in, even the "extra" slim-fit ones, even as I was borderline underweight BMI. Made me realize my proportions were great and I was not realizing my potential.

Also at the time I began turning it around, was in my early 30s but still being mistaken for a scrawny college student.

Didn't help that at the time my idea of fitness was being cardiofag.

Taken more seriously now and my shoulders get touched more often. Also made me realize what a shallow world this is but fuck it, I take what I can get.

its a good story
do you remember the name of the video?
pic unrelated

When i was 15 and didnt want to be a 16 year old virgin

Fucking pedo bitch

I used to be 25 stone almost 3 years ago
I was an alcoholic and one night half way through a bottle a vodka, I just looked at it and just thought "that's it" and poured it down the drain
Got down to 13.5 stone (I'm ~14stone now) and I very really drink (although the thirst is nearly always with me)
You just got to take it a day at a time and make small,easy to keep, changes that better you

Mine was similar but not quite the same
>Dick around for years in high school so end up several years behind on my studies
>Working hard to finish at alternative school where i can take as many classes as I want but progress is slow
>Go to graduation of my old 3rd grade class before i moved away
>Smile at every name called, remember their faces
>Feeling nostalgic for all the memories we had
>Realize I should be up there with them
>Realize afterwards i'll have to explain to every old classmate that I "haven't graduated yet" and "i'm still working on it"
>Skinnyfat and social pariah so can't even be proud of other things in my life
The shame stuck with me for the rest of the year, I managed to buckle down and finish that December, so I still technically graduated the same year as my classmates. That was the first time in my life I completely dedicated myself to something, it felt amazing finally ringing the bell on stage (school tradition) and actually being done with high school

If she didn't have pink hair you would not be able to tell if she was a boy or a girl, eat shit pedo

3 year LTR wherein I felt increasingly insecure about my small weight but somewhat validated by the mere existence of the relationship. Then the relationship went away, so the years and years of people calling me tiny or commenting on my weight finally caught up. I just wanted to be better for my own sake for once.

5 years ago when I was 27. Thought it was too late. I was ashamed of myself but I turned my life around in the last 5 years. I have neven been happier.

good. i hope you stay fat. more fresh, wet, 18-22 year old pussy for me

Lifting for cunny is the most noble reason user. Good luck on your quest.

>anxiety
i had terrible anxiety, but the solution is just to fight it and go through with the action causing the anxiety. in the end, no one around cares about you. the battle is in your head with yourself. just go to the gym, walk a mile on the treadmill and leave. that is enough for your first day.

Same. Some where louder but everyone got atleast something

For me it's still a work in progress, realized what a fuck up I am when my gf of 2 years left me. The words "I just don't love you anymore" hit like a train and gave me a kickstart to better myself. You'll see me in CBT next year.

He's going for that bloatmax C&J

My old mate called me fat when she left. I won’t let her win.

I always post this but when I was preparing an encounter for D&D I realized I was in the same weight range as an average ogre

Fag

When I finally had enough money, sense, self-esteem and access to a gym.

Thanks for the motivation, I'm 26 and my life so far has been quite miserable, no achievements, no fun either. I'm trying to turn it around and it feels lonely at this age but I'm trying my best and I'm looking forward to better days. But I often need a reminder that a good life is still possible.

Machio-san is my hero. I was to tone my abs by laughing with friends and qts who rely on me.

>be me
>LDR gf we met on fb
>meet once a year for 3 years
>her college had a trip for 6 days, she was 17 I was 18.
>Go trip and find myself to be the smallest guy I weighed 48kgs then
>Had no self confidence for anything but thought highly of myself
>At night about to have our first time.
>She says "im sick" and doesn't want to
>I cry myself to sleep thinking I'm unattractive.
>After trip join gym and put on day dere dirty newbie gains
>Turns out she was on periods and she loves me unconditionally however I look
>Keep going to the gym because I love it now

I was 250 pounds and suicidally depressed.

On my 28th birthday I was pretty close to killing myself. Medication was prescribed for the wrong times and 3 doctors couldn't figure out why I was tired all the time. Said fuck it and just switched the dosages from night to day. Literally changed my entire life. Start exercising, able to go back to college, etc. Flash forward to last year, we find out mum has stage 4 breast cancer. Oncologists have been pretty useless so far with answers, we know it's not curable but even things like requisitions are fucked up and none of them seem to realize she doesnt have a husbands income to fall back on. Employer has been okay with her but is still a shithead.

I lifted cuz I had the energy to improve myself before but now I lift cuz I need to be a big boy for mummy.
