You are on the path to making it.

>>40410477
>What is the cause of this effect?

its probably a chain-reaction, not a bunch of things that arent connected. you get more sleep, you feel more energetic, you work out, that makes you feel better yadda
anyway good for you anon

In the Froot Loops industry we refer to this as a positive feedback loop.

Hate to say it, but Trump was actually a part of the reason I decided to change. I thought that it wasn't ok that this fucking 70 year old who had a huge business and now a country to run and slept 5 hours a day had way more energy than me. I was a total Jeb!.

can u guys give more info on this? i remember seeing a post 2 years ago kinda like OP but with more positive aspects principally mentally and the guy even claimed to have his eye color change to more blue/gray and people like 20 anons said that he should get checked to bipolar

>>40410560

This is not a manic phase desu. A manic phase would have much more reckless behavior.

>>40411021
You got some freaking problems for sure, anon. Making me think about my own mind and what problems I might have..

You're going to relapse.

>>40410995
chill man
he's got a totally valid point, op DRAMATICALLY changed his life instantly and he's only been doing it for two weeks

this is why everyone recommends building small changes over a long period of time instead of trying to bum-rush a lifestyle change, because it typically leads to burnout once your "old lifestyle craving" withdrawal hits

by all means do what you're doing OP, that all sounds great, but come see us in a couple months of doing it

OP, here's one more to add to your list.

Stop posting here. Its okay to browse every once and a while but this isn't the old /fit/.

Everyone here is negative as fuck and it shows that they're jealous ugly neets that don't even fucking lift.

I know I'm breaking my own rule here but I just wanted to voice my opinion to you. Cheers man. Fuck all these guys being negative fucks.

>>40411063
Okay, you've convinced me. You made a good point brah

So, OP, did you do NoFap as well or just noporn?

>>40411069
He's only been doing this for two weeks lol

Fourteen fucking days, dude.

damn two weeks.
have fun when shit starts getting hard again and the temptation to being a lazy shit hits you like an heroin addict needs a refill

>>40411069
How old are you?

>>40411063
Yeah, since the start of february so just a little over two weeks.

I haven't trained in over 6 months though, so I'm sure theres a possibility of me going back to not working out, since that's what happened last time. Hopefully I can keep it up, but maybe the exercise isnt even the reason for me feeling well, it probably is a part of it though.

>>40411069
Thanks man.

>>40411086
Just noporn, fap every 3-4 days or something.

>>40411033
I suppose it could be hypomania if he had bipolar-II

probs not

>no caffeine
>1200 calorie diet
>keto
>intermittent fasting
>no fapping
>no supplements

I've lost 35 lbs since the new years, and it's not slowing down. I feel amazing all the time. My brain is sharper than ever.

I'm proud of you op.
Just don't get down on yourself or anything if you slip up and you'll be doing great for a long time.
I doubt you're bipolar but if you do suddenly become depressed, get help.

>>40412730
If the duration of your cycles are somewhat consistent then maybe plan around it.
>During depressive periods make to-do lists
>during manic periods, get them done
This way you can make your depressive periods more relaxing while capitalizing on your mania.

Is this bipolar? I've had the ups and downs since puberty but I figured it was simple anxiety and depression. This shit hit out of nowhere. I can feel what little gains I've made slipping just sitting here.

That happens for me as well. Mostly it's because I used to be spending 5+ hours a day surfing the web on my phone or playing video games, it just made my eyes so tired and I would always be tired throughout the day. I had the same feeling as you when I just gave up video games and went outside more

That's kind of why I made the post in the first place. It's gone 17 days now, which is no time at all and for the first time in basically all of my adult life I feel happy on a regular day for no reason other than just being.

It feels so sick that it could be because of these small changes, which is why I asked. Surely there must be something else at play, or maybe it's all a placebo, but it's kind of sad if my well being HAS had such a dramatic increase from these things and I havent done them until now.

Also like I said in the OP, if it took this fucking long for me to change in these areas of life, what the else am I missing?

I do not think I am bipolar or have some other illness, but I wont rule it out if I do get very depressed again without "reverting back" to my previous behaviour. I used to think I was just depressed because I didnt have "ups" unless I was at a party or some similar reason for being glad, and even then I didnt feel the same feeling I do now.

I didnt mean for any of my posts to come out as celebratory or braggy or just sounding like a bitch.

>>40416211
OP listen to me.
1.don't listen to the neets who try to bring you down because they do that to everyone.

2. you will have moments of weekness, moments of wanting to relapse, maybe even relapse on a few things.

2b. don't. remember where you are now, what you're grateful for. and think about how much better you feel when you push yourself to do the right things.

Life is always going to be a struggle. make the struggle to do the right things, not recovering from the bad things.

i believe in u op

>>40416305

Hi! Few things to start off with =] 1. Yes I added you because you're a cucked male trying self-improvement, 'tis an awesome thing to see! 2. I'm Anon. 3. Don't be intimidated, but I'm not a stereotypical 4Channel poster. If anything, I'll be the one giving you encouragement B==D~.

>>40415292
You just started working correct? If so that is how the salary looks like intially. Also which country?

>>40416211
rofl half these mongs don't know anything. 2 weeks isn't much though, keep it up for a couple of months and we'll see

>tfw can't hold good conversations and can only be myself when there are two other people so I dont feel force to drive conversation

How do I hold natural conversations one on one? I feel autistic.

>>40413836
Only consistent in the sense that I know they're coming, just a matter of when. I usually just fluctuate between hypomania and depressed. My mania only ever happens when it's triggered by something, and the severe depression is the aftereffect of my mania.
