Greetings /fit/ i'm here to seek advice and tell you a story of failure.
>Fall of 2011, Start lifting for fun (Height: 5'7 Weight: 132lbs)
>Follow random 4-day bro split that fellow gym buddies are doing. Make decent gains the first few months.
>Become more interested in training and nutrition. Start browsing /fit/ as well as other fitness related sites. Decide to do Madcow 5x5.
>Make great gains both in strength and physique. Also reading about training and nutrition everyday. My scientific background helps me further my understanding of it all.
>Tracking macros, gaining weight, following different full body routines.
>2013/2014. Reach 176lbs and feeling joocy.
>Randomly become lazy as fuck
>Old eating habits of 1-2 shitty meals a day return.
>Not following any proper lifting routine and skipping workouts.
>Though still watching and reading fitness related content on my free time.
>2015/2016. Lost a lot of gains. Lifting on and off, but still no consistency in sight. Random spurts of motivation make me go all out for a month or two where I quickly gain, but then return to idleness. Haven't made any progress since the first two years of lifting. Stuck in an infinite cycle of regress and progress. Ultimately looks like regression is winning.
>2017. I'm still here consuming fitness content. Weight is down to 143lbs. Strength is at an all time low (novice level). Physique is somewhat defined but small. Probably been to the gym a total of ~10 times in all of 2017. I know exactly how to proceed in theory to make great gains. I just can't stick to it.
So...WTF is my problem? What psychological issue prevents me from sticking to shit?
>>
I have also fucked up, but getting older made me more depressed and I completely stopped being who I am
We need to get back to it man, I have not gone to the gym in three months, I keep saying tomorrow, but I end up just sitting at home

I think I'm depressed some days when I get out of bed all I can think is what the fuck am I doing with my life

Remind yourself it is never about how you feel. You do it because you're supposed to.

Might have gotten hit by a dose of real life when I transitioned from late teen to young adulthood leading to some form of depression yeah.

>start bulking
>proceed with extreme caution because it sucked having to lose 50 pounds over a 5 month period, scared to over eat
>start off slowly and carefully
>a couple months into "bulking" start eating more sweets and junk food
>stopped counting my calories, barely care about protein anymore
>start missing gym days sometimes just because I don't feel like it
>diet is complete shit now
>don't know how to get back into eating right again
what do I do guys
