Here's my personal story. I started out like this. I decided

I spent 6 months on a diet. No exercise, just watched total calories. Didn't really care about anything else.

I steadily lost weight. I was down 47 lbs by the end.

I then decided to have a very relaxed diet. Watch calories when it was convenient, but never turn down a good time. I lost about 1 lbs a month with this new type of diet.

Now I'm down 55 lbs. I am trying to get myself to exercise, but I'm depressed. I started dieting in hopes of reconnecting with my ex. She got pregnant. I met a new girl. She was then my reason to live. Asked her out eventually, she said no. Since then everything in my life seems to be going downhill. Friends moving on with their lives, and I just feel hopeless.

I've come so far but I can't force myself to keep going. How can I get motivated? Here is me, took this picture yesterday. I could use a little encouragement.

I can easily control my diet, but anything that requires me to move is hard. I can't even fantasize about getting back with my ex anymore because that would ruin her child's life.

You have to be your reason to do things.
You keep making others your motivation. you have to want it more than anyone else.
It's your life. No one else is going to live it for you or make it worth living for you. Even now you're asking others to fix what's you're problem.
Be your own man and pave your own way.

A) Exercise will help you feel happier. There re some estrogens that give you happiness and they are produced when we exercise. People often say - even nature wanted us to exercise and we re just sitting 24/7 in front of screens.

B) Leave your ex. Ruining another human being's life in hopes of fixing yours is brutal, considering the kid really didn't do anything wrong. Meet more girls like the one you did. It's gonna be easy if you decide to hit the gym.

C) Most importantly, don't blame your appearance for anything. You werent even fat mate. I mean you ve seen how many people are happy with a disgusting body.

I know. I just struggle with finding meaning in life. I've always been unhappy, except for brief periods.

I need some positive thought to start from, to build up on top of.

hello friend; I went from 227 to 187 up to 250 now im around 210; pretty incredible progress on your part so far friend.
I am proud of how far you have come so far, focus on the qulaity of your life since the difference. I am starting to lose weigh again and the feeling of losing is starting to come back to me, easier breathing, more comfort everywhere I got, you are doing great, keep it up

Sorry I've not been coming on 4chan much for the last year or so. Looks like I'm out of touch. I used to spend all day on 4chan, but that was a decade ago.

Thanks. I don't know why I have such negative thoughts. Sometimes I'll just be freaking out, looking for anything. I feel so alone, like I've fucked my life up.

I know I'd feel better if I exercised, it's just starting that's hard. My anxiety is too high to go to the gym.

Thanks. Makes me smile to see people say I've come far. Feels like people just say negative things. My work friend, who is 270 lbs, tells me that I look like a cancer patient. No one in my life really says anything positive, so it's nice to hear.
