Just spent 6 weeks no lifting because of a surgery for a hernia
A month prior to that I hurt my back squatting
Still have feels for my ex gf who dumped me a year ago

BUT

tomorrow is the first day I can lift again so that's pretty cool
And my back doesn't bother me anymore so that's pretty cool

I have a job over summer at a hotel working full time, I'm trying to save while I'm still at uni to get ahead with a small business plan. I also moved in with my gf recently which is a very expensive process.

So I have no money, I'm working 40-50 hours a week to get money, but I'm only making £7.05 an hour which makes me want to vomit, and I work a lot of split shifts which destroys my sleep cycle and I'm very sleep deprived.

I can't afford a gym for now, I have a pull-up bar so can do home stuff but even when I have the energy I don't have the food quality.

So I'm pretty bummed out basically

been using a lot of caffeine and yohimbine, scared of a heart attack lmao

Been doing well, all things considered. Been maintaining a regular gym attendance, so working out hasn't been a chore. Slack on a few days (leg day) for the last two weeks, but looking to make it up by working in a leg exercise on my other days. Body goals are in sight, slowly going up to 160lbs, though been hovering at 153-155lbs. My lifts are modest, but I think I can do better. Pushing for the 1/2/3/4 goal, but I think my squats and deads are going to take a while as I train my lower body for it, as my OHP and bench are pretty much in reach. Possibly hitting the 160lbs mark will be when I might be seeing those met.

Socially, things are at a lull. There's this qt I've had two dates with, had very long talks that she seemed to be very engaged and interested in. Only other times I've been able to see her regularly is when she's at her work, which at one time recently she took her break to hang out with me. She is also very insistent on giving my free/discounted items when I order stuff. Thing is, I don't know if she's fully interested, as I know she has a male friend she seems close with as well. She only introduced him as a friend, so there's that. Been trying to figure when and how to ask the question is she'd be open to do more.

I'm somewhat stuck in a financial loop living month to month but I'm surviving. It's pretty much an enforced monk mode where I can literally afford to do nothing more than lift, eat, work and sleep.

I saw one of my favorite bands at a festival. I ran into them later in the day after their set and got to just shoot the breeze for over an hour one-on-one. It was amazing.

Fucked a girl who is insanely pretty, didn't even mean to or try but turns out she's liked me for ages. Wouldn't stop running her hands over my body after and told a mutual friend that I have a great body.

Downside is that she's a friends ex and he would be devastated if he found out so I can't make her my gf, so back to being alone.

Go drinking with her and see how she acts when shes had a few. If she agrees to come thats a good sign and you can always turn it into friendly drinks if things go south

I've been becoming more of a sociopath recently. I am beginning to think that all that matters on a social level is how people perceive me. "Being yourself" or "having integrity" is bullshit, I get better results pretending to "be myself" or pretending to "have integrity" in the correct situations.

It's just seeming easier and easier to only care about myself and no one else. If you're a top tier sociopath no one would should even notice right? How can this not be the right path for the self aware and intelligent? All actions lead to bettering the self, or pleasure for the self.

Reminder that lifting weights is only for yourself, it does not benefit anyone else...and if it does benefit dickhead from down the street because you helped him lift his trailer and you used something similar to a deadlift you only did that so that you had him in debt in the form of a favor that may be exchanged in the future.

People are starting to notice that I've lost weight and are complimenting me on it. Feels fucking good man. Only 28 more lbs to go.

>>42279799
You're not a sociopath you're pragmatic and utilitarian. A sociopath is someone that feels no empathy towards others. Being a self serving manipulative person doesn't make you a sociopath so long as you have the capacity to feel bad when you fuck people over.

Dude the max you're going to lose in a week is 2lbs. It takes months to even years depending on how much weight you're trying to lose.

Also I just looked up what DNP is and are you out of your fucking mind? Just lose weight the old fashioned way. It's safer and healthier. You're never going to make it if you try to cheat and cut corners.

Yeah they lost 10+ pounds taking fucking poison. DNP used to used to make fucking explosives and pesticides. A 100mg dose can cause serious side effects or death. You're literally risking your life taking that shit because you can't be patient. Throw that shit out now before it kills you.

I want to start gaining muscle, but I feel like I'll just look like an idiot since I'm a short 5'5 asian dude. I remember in high school there was this 5'0 asian guy that was buff as fuck and tried to intimidate everyone with his buffness, and everyone just laughed at him behind his back like a tiny chihuahua that tries to be threatening but nobody takes it seriously since it is still just a tiny chihuahua.

I go on /fit/ every now and again for motivation but I end up just never doing anything about it, and i'm frustrated at myself. If I can't gain muscle, I'd like to at least exercise or something lose weight since I'm skinny and i'd like to think I have a decent face, but all my fat goes to my stomach which makes me look disgusting and I can't get a gf.

I want to eat less and exercise more but I've gotten so used to always overeating that eating less less leaves me feeling too hungry and without enough energy to get through the day. I barely have time to exercise either.

Aside from a lack of time due to working/studying most of the time, I'm aware that most of my problems are just in my own head and they're something I just need to get over, but i've always had this issue my whole life where It's really hard for me to start something, especially something that feels overwhelming at first since there's so much to look into when getting fit like what to do, what to eat, etc. but once I start something, I find it easy to keep it going, it's always just starting that's the hardest part.

How do I get myself to just... do it?
I'm the kind of person to easily lose motivation and I hate it. I can never stick to anything I do and I constantly leave things unfinished and I have terrible will power and self control and I hate it. Getting a strong body sounds easy enough since all I'd have to do is lift a bunch of heavy things, but how do I get a strong mind?

You can still lift and put on muscle but don't go full retard strength/bodybuilding with it. Focus more on low weight high reps and flexibility exercises.

Make what you've got toned and hard.

>highly physical so I don't need to do cardio in my spare time

Cons:
>over nights
>mandatory OTso I'm working 50 hrs a week

How do I stop caring what others think? I honestly believe this is one of the things that is keeping me from being really happy. For example, I try to avoid certain clothes that I think I look good in, because people will start saying shit like "look at this faggot that looks good in those clothes", same with the haircut, I have a shitty haircut because I dont want to look better to avoid judgements.
Am I just a narcissistic beta faggot? If so, any advice on how to overcome this shity perspective?

Moving apartments soon to escape my shitty party girl roommates (wouldn't fuck them with a rented dick, serious slags. Set me up a few of their cute friends though, which wasn't bad)
Moving into my tiny new place on Tuesday.
Still kicking ass at my new office job, had to call in sick today though because I puked up all of my dinner this morning, has to spend today so far laying in bed sipping water. Hate missing work.
I'm hoping I feel okay enough by dinner to go lift.
Bench and ohp are progressing in spite of my cut, but squats are poverty teir and deadlifts are decreasing. I'm down 27lbs since April though.
>>
I'm on a light cut, about 300-400 kcal a day. I just started lifting, and my lifts aren't really increasing, they're just stagnant (and lightweight, considering I just started). Is this normal? Am I fucking myself by lifting every day while cutting when I'm new? Trying to slim down right now, I get about 100-110g of protein daily, but I don't want to gain any more fat. Right now I'm about 5'9", 162 lbs.

Physically things have been going great. I started a new PPL program after I graduated and I've been making steady progress and got my abs back after my bulk. However, I start college in 20 days and I'm terrified I won't be smart enough or everyone will think I'm autismo. I graduated with honors and tons of friends but this new start has me a little spooked.
>>
Last night was the third or fourth time in a month I've dreamt of a girl I've seen once since I've graduated in 2015. Besides that, I have some issues with the financial aid office for my university I'm trying to transfer to, and I'm the verge of saying fuck it and bailing out of here to a place that's far away. I'm trying to resolve this issue, but part of me hopes I can't so I have nothing besides family and friends tethering me to my hometown. I could be gone by September.

I try and work on myself my lifts are almost at 1/2/3/4

I try to read more and more

I changed my career and i plan on starting boxing this year

There is still a problem tho i feel like my social me is not the real me not like i need attention it's just that i can't help being noisy and always trying to be funny i know i don't need to act that way to be appreciated but i can't help it
So i kinda feel like the annoying guy in the group that hurt

sup, fellow (future) nurse.

just graduated back in may almost at the top of my class in the best in state school. our doctorate program is one of the best in the country. graduated summa cum laude, destroying my expectations by others (my undergrad was terrible). had some amazing references from clinicals, was able to get into the highest acuity/most advanced pediatric cardiac ICU in the state, if not nearly the country. was able to participate in the care of a world-first surgical device implantation.

and yet, i still don't have a job after 3 months of trying. people with less skills and worse grades and experiences than me are getting the jobs i wanted. people with shit references and awful personalities are getting my backup jobs. I've had multiple 'final' peer interviews, which i felt i nailed, but didn't get a callback. I don't know what's wrong with me, my resume, or my interviewing skills, except that apparently, i once said something that could be interpreted as 'sexist', which is fucking ridiculous- why would anyone sexist EVER become a male nurse? fucking retarded.

in addition, this is complicated by the fact that i'm running out of money, have student loans to repay, and my girlfriend of 4 years left me last month (after signing another 12 month lease and subsequently bailing), so i'm stuck either with the prospect of paying double what i used to be for rent/utilities, or having a stranger for a roommate at nearly 30 years old.

Also haven't had sex in like 2 months now, nor have i met a decent girl yet despite being pretty active and going out on several occasions. Shit sucks.

On the plus side, only 5 more pounds to finish my cut to 8%, and hit a 175lb OHP at 150lbs bw, and looking and lifting much better than i ever have been.

Regardless, keep up the nursing route, it's great, despite my recent shitty luck.

Why is it so unnaturally hard to get a good job and a cute girlfriend?

Why are student debt and house prices up 1,000,000%?

Why not other branches of pharmacy/chemistry? Biofuels are a meme and it's right that that they are being cut down

A quick remark - if we were to plant oilseed rape (which rapes the farmland btw) or other culture that can be converted to biofuel the best, in all the possible farmable land in the world, it still would not make up for the demand of gas of today and even more of the future

Algae biofuel, not rapeseed. Algae doesn't compete with other crops for farmland. You can use municipal waste water as a feedstock. The problem with it is that it's expensive to extract the oil from the biomass.

Microalgae undergoes photosynthesis like a plant would. You wouldn't have to re-purpose a lake or take drastic measures like that. In fact, there are certain types of filamentous fungi that will grow alongside algae that help increase the yield and how efficiently it can be harvested by clumping it together. There are certain types of ecosystems that algae fit into.

You can make fairly inexpensive models and extrapolate them to industry level volumes. That is a limit of knowledge, however, but one that the Obama administration made plans to step up to. For example, at an industry level, an outer layer of algae may take in all the sunlight leaving little for the layer underneath it. Sort of like how Chad gets all the girls and the betas are super lonely. Perhaps the tub/tube that algae are grown in needs to circulate. I do not believe it represents a cost that prohibits microalgae from being part of a bioeconomy of the near future.

I started like you and from what I've learned you'll have a lot of difficulty increasing weight on a cut however I'd recommend you to maintain your cut at least till you have a flat stomach/abs a bit visible and then bulk and you should see your weights increasing a lot faster. Protip, if during your bulk you start to really lose your flat stomach/getting fat, do a minicut (2/3 weeks) and then resume your bulk

Found out about phenibut here, tried it on saturday. Went to a club, acted like a retard around strangers, some girl had sex with me in the bathroom and left me this bracelet that said "cum hoe". Believed that I negotiated my way into sex due to this 'smart drug' that deflates social anxiety.

Took phenibut again two days, realized it was just a tranquilizer that allowed me to think normally. Basically I was trapped in a lethargic body but my mind wasn't, it's a weird sensation but that's all it is nothing remarkable. That girl was just slutty and god bless her

That was his mistake, act like a dick and people will look for ways to laugh at you.

As for motivation, best thing I can recommend is meditation. For 10-20 minutes every day you set a timer, sit still and think of absolutely nothing. You're training your mind to think what you want it to, instead of running off chasing every whim and daydream. Once you have this control, you can use your newfound skill of thinking deliberately to work out, or study, or learn to play the piano... whatever it is you want to do, but don't have the discipline to follow through on.

Not too well.
Im going to be a Doctor in a year, I should be happy but I'm not.

Prior to applying to medical school, I was a lot more care free and as a result had a lot more self confidence. I was /fit/, had a qt GF and life was generally good. Ever since coming here It's been a downward spiral: I ended up gaining 10lb, picked up what I think is body dismorphia and I'm plagued by feelings of inadequacy every day. Didn't help I lost the one I cared for a year back.

Honestly I just want to move to a third world country and live the rest of my life as lonely farmer. I can't deal with the expectations of being someone people look to and having to put on a mask of being that certain figure when my life is currently in shambles behind the scenes.

In my opinion, if option A is the reality the onus is on her to state that instead of vague "Are you okay?"s.

Life is still shit.
Had my annual review, I ranked 4.6/5 in my five categories labeled as "EE" exceeding all expectations.

>No pay raise.
>No quality of life increase.
>Big boss thanks me, because I'm the sole reason a lot of employees will be getting their bonuses.

Why? Because I'm overpaid already per the company and I'm barely making a living wage. Per the company, I'm actually making more then my team lead too. Which is a position I turned down, because they told me I was above the pay cap for that too.

They told me their new plan for me, "In a couple of months, we would like to move you into a team lead position. Somewhere around 3 to 4 months. From there we'll foster your growth and possibly get you into a district level."

>Can I expect a pay increase in those 3 to 4 months when I become a team lead?
>I'm sorry, but that's not something we can do. You're already above being paid the cap for that position.
>Can you explain the paygrade for the district level employees?
>Almost double your current pay.
>How long until I can be moved into that kind of a position.
>With about 4 to 5 years of experience.
>Am I getting a raise with my annual today?
>Glad you asked, we're going to be giving you a merit bonus! And it's going to be on your next paycheck, so it'll actually be one month early for you too.
>the amount is 0.3% of my pay after taxes

I kinda want to buy a red swingling stapler. But I can't afford a luxury like that. Even my bonus wouldn't probably reach that shit.

Lol.

I started dating a woman like a year ago. And it seems like that everyone around me has a problem with that. Briefly mentioned about that to my parents and they flat out told me that this is just a phase. "You've always dated guys anon, why are you pretending to be something you clearly are not, anon?" My parents are acting as if they were insulted by my actions. I mean, I didn't expect them to throw a huge rainbow themed coming out party with a vagina cake, but it feels shit that their reaction is to act all grumpy and mad at me for having the audacity to date a girl.

It's also still confusing that my old hookups still hit me up sometimes asking if I'd suck their cock. It just feels weird at this point. And when I tell them or any other guys approaching me that thanks but no thanks, I'm dating a female, they also get angry at me. As if I was just saying that to piss them off. Just like my parents.

Such is life as a lesbian woman who doesn't look like your typical dyke.

>>
>>42287031
I'm 23, so this is barely some teenage phase of me being a cool dyke. However my parents thinks that it's cause I moved abroad to a big city which made me a trendy lesbian.

Far from it. I've never dated men seriously either. I've had sex with them and I've been seeing a few but nothing mentionable really. Then I found this girl and it all worked out and clicked. I'm still not gonna marry her just to prove my parents a point. I don't care that much about what they think.

I don't want to be an armchair psychologist, but I think I might have an avoidant attachment style. Some of the anecdotal symptoms seem to line up with me: the ones about not having any real confidants and low-self esteem + anixiety about emotional intimacy seem to hit home.

On the other hand, it's weird because it's often associated with abuse and other childhood trauma, but I had a pretty good childhood. My parents might have been a little overprotective, but I doubt it was to such an extent that it fucked my ability to open up to people.

Anyone managed to overcome this? Because it's been casting an increasingly negative cloud over my thoughts and emotions.

Must be a big company, sounds like they have a plan for you, but honestly you must be right down the very bottom if you're over the pay cap and aren't making a living wage. So stop badgering your boss about your pay, Jesus, if you have skills that are actually worth something then you can easily find a better paying job, but i suspect that you're still at entry level, so calm down, do your work, stop acting like an entitled brat, and then maybe you'll be worth something

What's your point, retard? That fitness is heredity? I am the only one who had to make an effort, practice and get better at a certain discipline.

Yea most of us started on friggin Oxy. How bad is your habit right now? There's always Suboxone, Methadone or Kratom.

I was doing about a bundle a day, wasted 50k in one year, and now i've only used dope once in the last 7 months.

Or I'll just fuck it all up and she'll leave me for her. One way or another I'm gonna get fucked hard.

Not that guy but my MBA opened all kinds of doors to me much earlier in life. If I had to do it all over again I would just go to fuckibg trade school and be a plumber.

I will never get friends or a girlfriend if I can't get over my hatred of people, /fit/. My hatred of people leads to everyone disliking me

I don't know what to do. People just annoy me so much. I'm not gonna pretend like I'm this super cool chill guy who everyone wants to be around, but I know that my level of annoyance I have with other people is the key factor in me not having friends or relationships

Even when i try to fake tolerating people, it just eventually degrades into me getting pissed off at them

She mentioned before that she doesn't drink, but she's young, and she could be lying.

But pretty much try and get another low-key date going, got it. I guess I won't stress it and just enjoy the company for now.

Sucks man, but hopefully you were able to break it amicably. That and knowing the closure to it will hopefully let you move on. Had something like that happen to me a long while ago, and it did bother me for a long while, but i was able to get over it more or less.... I think.

Well, this is first a very introspective problem you'll need to analize yourself.

I would start reading into psychology and communication theory, not only to better understand yourself, but to make social interaction a game where you deconstruct other people, put them into categories, and find out why they are the way they are. It's fun. There are no special snowflakes. There's always a reason, and it's fun to find out the why.

>winter: she's going to steal the covers
>she'll generally be colder than you so enjoy having to keep a fan off sometimes so she doesn't whine

Super lanklet, started going to the gym about a month ago. Up to my bodyweight in deadllift.

Doesn't sound like much, but it's an accomplishment nonetheless. Next stop, bodyweight squat.

It can. My first jobs sucked hard and I earned minimun. Then I finished college and now work as an engineer. Pay, hours, respect, everything is better. Took a few years though.
