How the fuck do I gain discipline and motivation once older? I'm 26 and I'm embarrassed to be haunted by the same problems that afflicted me when I was 16. I almost feel like I should join the military to shape me up only I'm a fat fuck as well.

By growing the fuck up and realizing life isn't just fun and games all the time. You sound like one of those discusting cunts who expect things handed to them and when they realize they might need to do shit, they just collapse under the pressure and whine like little bitches. Life gets boring sometimes, get over yourself and just do what you're supposed to fucking do. I bet your parents spoiled you and you've never been ablte to cope with doing shit by yourself.

>get over yourself
These are just meaningless platitudes. I'm after solutions.
Yes my parents spoilt me a little but I want to change.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but there is no magic trick to motivation or discipline. Either you have them or you don't. It's litreally just about making the decision and then acting on it. There are no significant ways to skip those two steps or making them easier. Only consistent, conscious practice is what will help build self-dicipline, but even then you need to first have some to even get started.
Solution: shit jobs.
Shit jobs break the spirit. And make you value life, people, hard work, effort.

My lack of discipline ruined my educational prospects. I've already worked shit manual work.
All it taught me is that I'm useless outside of a highly structured environment. Hence mentally toying with military as an idea.
Motivation gets you started, momentum keeps you going.
For some reason you are failing hard in momentum. You're not "bored," you're rapidly losing enthusiasm due to some kind of negativity. In all likelihood you haven't found your niche yet, but you're never going to if you aren't worthy.

Then give up and rent an apartment with a buncha slackers and start a noise band or something.
Or get on ritalin.

I was in the same situation as you my friend. This is what DOESNT work...
I conceded to the "you just have to man up" advice, and worked a job I didnt like for 3 years - that advice doesnt work for people like us. You will eventually just want to kill yourself all the time
This is what does work...
You need to find something you get excited about. Something that makes you burn with passion. You need a purpose my friend. Once you have found that purpose you will have no trouble sticking to it

I'd agree with this. You need to find your reason for doing/being, you need a big, meaningful 'why'
