So /adv/, my gf just chewed me out. My bad spending habits, to my bad sense of health, and she's right. I'm a wreck right now, and have been as such. So I'm going to get my shit together.

But I don't know where to start, you know? So far I've deleted porn and I'm slowly cleaning the house (It looks like a punk house right now, roaches and shit galore) but after that I don't know where to begin to do the bigger milestones, such as

>Stop drinking so much
>Quit smoking
>Get in shape
>Get out of self-hating depression/Stop being Cynical all the time
>Get driver's license (city has free busses so I never bothered to try)

I want her and myself to see myself as what I was like; A motivated, self-respecting man that she can more than enjoy being married to in the future. But where do I start? I've been in the hole so long that I need help.

Pic kind of related. I've stopped a majority of these things.

Definitely go to /fit/ and read the sticky ignore the rest of that board. Maybe visit /ck/ too learning to cook could help a lot.

Do you have a job / go to school? Those usually have quitting smoking things for free.

When do you drink? Out with friends / alone?

If you don't have a job or are going to school consider one or both of those.

Don't beat yourself up if you fail at anything. Just get back on track asap. It might help to get her on board with all this having someone to cheer you on and support you when it gets rough helps amazingly.

Make a list and pick one thing. Focus on that one things for a while. Then when you get the hang of it add another thing to your routine.

Make a plan. But if you're just going to list all the goals it will overwhelm you. Divide the problem into managable steps and make a weekly schedule that is realistic. Also when you reach a goal or milestone that you've set you need to treat yourself (but not in a way that is detrimental to your long term goals).

How did you even get a gf? Not trying to insult you just curious how a depressed substance/porn consumer manages such a feat.

Oh anon you can't imagine the type of men women will take.

I don't socialize as much as I used to anymore, but I drink alone. Speaking of socializing I've been attempting to be more talkative (online and irl). I do have a job, but it's mainly with older people who don't have time for small talk. I've been meaning to go back to college, but I don't know what I want to do just yet.

>>18720151
I wasn't always like this. We met in high school and it's been eight years since then. I lost my best friend and my grandma (primary caregiver for all my life) in the same week and I haven't been the same since.

Thanks. Will do. Will a notebook help? I thought about keeping a journal.

In the same boat. Seriously, I am everything in that image.

I've been doing this for a couple months, and feel pretty good about it.

Take a picture of every meal you eat. At the end of the day, you can look at literally everything you've stuffed yourself with. I've completely switched from chips, microwaved foods, and soda to salads and water from doing this.

Exercise. Anything helps. I started by doing 10 push-ups. Moved on to running. I can now run 10-15 minutes without stopping, and am moving on to some weight training. To a fat fuck like me, this is a huge accomplishment.

As for quitting cigarettes, I can't really help there. I just sort of stopped, and never looked back. One thing that has kept me off of cigarettes is the fact that it makes it harder to breathe when I work out.

I'm still super depressed, and some days are insanely hard for me to even move around. That said, I can still go to sleep knowing I'm actually trying to change my habits and health.

At the end of the day, it comes down to discipline. I used to research the fuck out of what I should do to maximize my weight loss, but it never amounted to anything more than a few days of dedication before burning out. You just have to fucking do it, OP. There is no other choice, but you will see results. I swear to you.

The military fucked up my relationship with my family. I've always been spooked to get PTSD and lash out at my future family over some shit.

>Be late at night
>Be 8
>Wake up Grandpa
>Grandpa jumps up, pins me to the dresser with a knife in hand
>"Sorry anon. I thought you were someone else. I'll take you to school."
