/SiG/ - Self Improvement General

For me at least, thinking about and recognizing the consequences of my drinking and smoking as they threatened to appear helped make quitting a lot easier. My only substance use these days is a bit of pipe tobacco once every other week. But don’t be afraid to look for help if you can’t find the motivation within. Pride can always wait on health

How long does it take until the urge to fap is bearable. Also have you noticed anything positive or negative mentally and physically ?

How do we feel about high in fat diets? Ive been putting a half stick more of butter into my diet and my mood has been better. Any anons know what might be going on here?

The urge to fep never becomes bearable, however there are ways to deal withthe urge and if you truly use your extra energy to do something worthy, 5 days can pass without you even thinking about women

Mentally I am more fit, I have huge amounts of energy, I sometimes watch porn and stroke without cumming, however this isn't ideal, the urge to fap is just so great sometimes. Physically I don_t think, however you can and will perform better in the gym.

Only downside really is a)
SOmetimes you really wanna bust a nut and
b) wet dreams.
Because wet dreams makes me afraid to sleep in a Pyjama, I use boxershorts now in case that happens

>Is the rationale that you’ll play less vidya if your means to do so is less enjoyable?
None of my friends have a Switch so there's no obligation to join a group in whatever they're playing, and the rationale is I can play it handheld while absent mindedly taking in a documentary or listening to a podcast in bed

I tried no fap and it only caused trouble. I couldn't concentrate at work, all I could think about was considering driving to Nevada for prostitutes and getting catfished by pretend thots online because it completely destroyed my judgement.

Thanks. I have no way ob obtaining rams testicles, tho.

You can try ginger, garlic and members of the onion family.
But rams testicles are a tried and true method.

Did you atleast reach a week`Oh and don*t set a day counter, because it makes you think about fapping every day. Or atleast write the day you started somewhere and lock the piece of paper away until you need it again

Been a daily drinker for about 2 years. Had a bad back injury and then moved away from my home town and training partner/best friend. Gained 20lbs of fat. Lost much of my strength and fitness, used to be heavy lifter / gymnast. Can still lift decent weights but gymnast skills are all mostly lost including much of my flexibility. Can run 5 miles with not much problem even the day after drinking a bottle of whiskey. Ran 40-45ish miles total in the month of April while still drinking 10 beers a night lol. Well fuck that shit.

Dropping my drinking habit and hoping to start the grind back to my glory days. Sucks to start again, like reading the same chapters of a book over and over. Hard to have the time now also as family life and responsibilities are much more pressing than a few years ago. Gotta get er dun folks. My son needs a hero not a zero, and my daughter needs a good example of a man so she doesn't marry a shithead. My Dad fucked up alot and I gotta stop following in his footsteps.

Yea I eat ginger and onion/garlic regularly.

It was about a week when I broke. Shit was scary, it could have seriously fucked my life, never again. I tried it as a way to boost productivity but I spend less time fapping than the Catholic guys do on their rosaries.
Instead I got a life coach to help me with my goals (I'm trying to do more writing) and learned I need to spend less time beating myself up and more time celebrating and rewarding what I do right. It sounded like hippy faggotry but I tried it and it works.

Check this out.
After finish Rise I really liked NuLara as a character and wished I could get a woman like that for a wife.
So whenever I get the urge to whack off or think of something sexual I think of NuLara and the goal I want to achieve.
This is my autismal way of keeping the hands off my wee wee. Think of your own.

The easiest applied change for me was saying I want to, instead of I must and when trying to get a complaint across replacying but with and

Over the last 4 months i jacked off maybe 20-30 times in total. had a month period of no fap, a couple of times to 3 weeks, and i'm on no 3 weeks at the moment.
i'll make it anons i swear, this time i'm going to 2 months at the least

well ive been practicing more eye contact lately. i used to have a problem with it, because id get nervous thinking that theyd take my eye contact as aggression.
also i am letting my voice be naturally deeper. before i used to strain my voice and intone effeminately to show submission, and again, avoid aggression.

i am just giving less of a fuck. doesnt matter who you tiptoe around or try to please. im also minding my own business, now.

but on the upside, its also easier for me to show intimacy to those i deem worthy. easier to let my guard down. i know who my real enemies are and its not my friends or family.

Hey /sig/! Hope you are all having a good day!

Hey Jow Forums
First of all i'd like to know whether /SIG/ applies to women/girls

i found that you need to actually contemplate the feelings and disconnect physical from mental. i can go on Jow Forums and the random nudes in the catalog don't even make me want to fap anymore, i only get mental urges - and after recognizing these mental urges it's easier to know when they come and to say no once they do

No.
Tits or go.

Yes it does, but why did you ask this question? It is about self approvement,so of course it does. Now that you got your attention by saying you are a women make a short voice recording on vocaroo.com and post a topless pic of you standing in your favela

I'm trying to decide between picking up German or Russian.

I've attempted learning both before but various things got in the way. I was getting pretty good at German (music, TV, Michael Thomas, Duolingo) then got sent abroad. I've got old third Reich German books I can't actually read but want to.

With Russian it would help a lot with work and I'm very keen to learn it. I can read Cyrillic already and was doing a lot of it on Duolingo, watching Russian TV etc.

Really, I want to learn both but doing both at the same time is silly.

What would you guys recommend?

I speak native English and have dabbled in numerous languages.

I mentionned sex in my post because the values and ideals that apply to men don't always aplly to women, that's all. Chill.

This is about self improvement, so everything that im proves your body and mind and in fact cultivates both is welcome here. Also you forgot to follow Global Rules which includes posting your tits. Ty sweetie

Doesn't mean you don't have to still post tits, son.

thanks for actually answering then

Don't wanna be a thot m8

Then don't claim to be one faggot.

k

Atleast your learned how to reply, but you still need to follow global rules though.
Besides how did you even end up here?

Atleast give proofs by recording a short voice massage, you can follow up with tits later

vocaroo.com

I ended up here because I spend too much time on the Internet (which is one of the problems in my personality I need to fix)

How can you carelessly spent hours a day on the interwebs in Brasil if your neighbors get skinned alive for having friends that are friends with the wrong people?

My nofap record is one week and I was going insane idk how people can do it

I understand it as a dopamine hit that's connected to hormone levels. It's like sticking your finger down your throat when you're drunk. I might or might not throw up anyway but I'll do it now to feel better. It's like that. I had a gf for a number of years and so I didn't have to fap, I had real sex, that's the normal state for men, regular sex to sate their sex drive. Now I just get my hit and then go about my life as normal rather than have the nagging drive distract me from what I need to do. I view it now like taking a shit. Focusing on what I want to do has been far more productive than fixating on what not to do.

Cut out porn entirely, masturbating less, began body weight fitness exercises, saving money like a champ w near 30k in savings. Put my notice in at shitty job, and doing well in school. Keep pushing anons. Salvation lies within

Little child. Nofap since July1st AMA.

I finally read How to Win Friends and Influence People. I even took notes.
Tested it this week. Seems effective. I did some of the stuff anyway. But some of it is counter intuitive.
Now moving on to 48 Laws of Power.

Iodine also requires selenium to work properly. However depending on the food you eat the soil it was grown in your selenium levels might be fine, a good multi helps too. Taking Magnesium got rid of my foot cramps.
>After iodine, selenium is probably the next most important mineral affecting thyroid function. The thyroid contains more selenium by weight than any other organ. Selenium is a necessary component of the enzymes that remove iodine molecules from T4 converting it into T3; without selenium there would be no activation of thyroid hormone.

Also forgot to add quit smoking cigs

>I sometimes watch porn and stroke without cumming
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Basically what you're doing is nearly useless. Faggot.
Do real hardmode nofap/noporn you idiot.
Learn how it affects your brain, edging is nearly as bad as regular fapping.

Basically the same here. Still working st a shit job though due to school.

Fill your time up

What kept you going, did you stroke your noodle without cumming a couple times, when did you cut out porn, what improvements did you notice, how do you deal with wet dreams?

Its unhealthy to completely stop orgasming. Its better to jack twice a month instead of never.

Same. Whenever I need justification for anything I don't want to do, I think of my ideal woman.

im close to 2 months of no weed after like a decade of weed daily. after my wrist heals im going to start lifting again. my diet is already good

God disagrees. Read the new testament
(P.S. Get a wife)

Has anyone tested this iodine thing?

>ask not for a gf
I like this because so many insecure cucks treat self improvement to impress others rather that improving self.
If your intention of only impressing others, those feels are never going to subside.

Maybe, over a long period it's better to on average ejaculate a few times when you aren't having regular sex. I just want to test myself and resist temptation for now, though. It isn't about what's healthy or not, it's about self control and discipline and saying no to the fucked up shit that they put on pornhub

I have a question. Sometimes after tough cardio for a day or two I’ll urinate red/orangish crystals. I think it’s uric acid crystals, but don’t really know.
Anyone have information on this?

Ejaculating a lot is bad, but not ejaculating st all leads to prostate problems in the future. You need to do it one or twice a month unless you have sex.
That's what I mean.
Ejaculate every other week for maximum gains and minimal health issues.

We aren't designed to not JO for long periods. Its why you get off during sleep sometimes.

I did, was tired all the time before, took it and with minutes just felt awake, my brother had the same reaction. A bottle is less than 15 bucks at a health store, just put 3 drops in a glass of water and see if it helps. If it does you'll notice it pretty quickly and means you were Iodine deficient, if it does jack shit you were fine before.

doesn't iodine break you out skin wise? i get acne easily.

Check with you GP first. I took iodine but it turned out I had thyroid problems and now I'm on cytomel.

It’s takes months. It’s not necessarily the urge you’re fighting but the habit.
So my best advice is get active and stay out of your house, out if your room, out of your bed. Otherwise you’ll get bored and go back to those old habits. I’ve got fapping down to a once every few weeks and it’s more to release the pressure and build up. It’s amazing not watching porn anymore.

what about nocturnal emission? why do nofap guys ever talk about that?

I don’t ever have that. Like I said I fap every few weeks to relieve pressure and build it.

Build up*

Is that some gay way of saying night orgasms?

>did you stroke your noodle without cumming a couple times,
That counts as a relapse so no I didn't.
>when did you cut out porn
1st july

Nofap == noporn to me too.

>what improvements did you notice
More energy, less feeling of being sedated sexually. When I go out now I look at the pretty girls and it's nice that I notice them.

>how do you deal with wet dreams?
Haven't had one. The reason you're having one is probably because you're still watching porn.

And finally what kept me going is knowing I'm unfucking my brain/reward center so that I'm normal again.

Try harder kraut user, you can do it!

Okay /SIG/ here's the deal. I've been working out for about a year and made some very noticeable gains. However, I have low body-fat and I'm on a strict budget in college. What do you guys recommend for me to gain weight? I'm sitting at roughly 165 lbs right now (6'1") depending on the day, but but I'd like to hit 180 by 2019. I need cheap ways to increase my protein and caloric intake every day.

I saw a guy that had huge arms the other day, it looks so goofy. Plus a lot of them have little skinny legs compared to their upper body.
Why would you do that to yourself?
Get fit like the military guys are, lean and mean.

large bags of rice, cheap muscle cuts like pork shoulder that go for a long time in the oven on low temp. best calorie/$

olive oil and rice. you dont have to eat them together but both are cheap and tons of calories.

After eight years I finally managed to control my OCD to manageable levels. It's time to salvage what I can from my life and make the most out of it

I think because they constantly want to see results, it must be strange to se changes throughout 2 years and then suddenly the changes to your body stop

I work on everything, with my current focus on legs and chest
Okay, thanks. That considered, take the following example and tell me the changes you'd make:
seasoned ground beef with rice (which kind?) and olive oil
I want to hear what you guys think

it doesnt matter as long as your macros are decent and getting at least 1g of protein per lean body muscle. the rest can be carbs/fats from rice, olive oil, butter, etc. i would attempt some vegetables too just for some more nutrients. also take vitamin supps.
