>>34709491
How old are you
I'm learning guitar slowly as well but feel like it's too late cause I'm almost 23

>>34709491
If you're fat the easiest way to get in shape is running, easily. God bless you anon, keep progressing.

>>34709550
Depending on how fat, running is also a good way to blow out your knees

>>34709491
Make sure to slowly increase the number of push ups and sit ups you do per day!

Congrats OP, you're gonna make it

>>34709566
Well obviously and I wouldn't recommend if you're that obese to start running immediately anyhow as you'd probably have a heart attack.

I'm 20. Too late in what way? At any age it will make you seem cooler, feel more accomplished and improve your mental capabilities. I could care less about attracting Stacy, I just want to be able to play my favourite songs.

>>34709550
My knees aren't that great but I'm calorie counting to roughly 1500 every day. I used to get horrible pains in my knees when I was younger so I really don't want to start running

>>34709577
Thanks! I'm trying but it's slow going. Should I be taking rest days or is that counterproductive?

>>34709579
That's really cool, good luck anon!

>>34709632
Good luck to you too anon. What do you plan to learn to play this year?

I plan to finish highschool at 22 then get a job and take a vacation with my first paycheck

>>34709715
I really want to learn this. Hope you get your vacation anon

>>34709632
Rest days are normally for heavy lifting and intense workouts. If you start going to the gym or start running a lot I'd recommend rest days in between or once every 2 days. Push ups and sit ups aren't too hard on your muscles.

Pretty much this, I run 10 miles daily because of it sometimes more.

This. We need more people like you my friend. I like to see some positiveness, self-determination besides the usual negativeness and even some trap-fapping degeneracy you usually see on r9k. Keep doing this and thinking this way and you will improve yourself faster than you would expect.

You're gonna make it!

>quitting smoking, day 4 currently. fucking dicks I hate it and I'm angry but whatever.
you can do it. It will help you so much when you manage it

>>34709632
I've ran on and off for maybe 10 years, and my knees tend to hurt a bit when I start again.

Also try to get in distance over speed (even walking for 30 min etc).

Reminder that no matter how much you improve, if you're 22+ you'll always be a little bit behind

>>34709491
I started the year doing improvement stuff like that but then I had too panic attacks and now I feel worse than before

>>34710054
thanks bud. I know it will. not only the extra ~$80-100 I'll save a week but the fact I can no longer manage half a cigarette before I am holding back my gag reflex to not vomit thanks to malnutrition making the smoke irritate my stomach will be lovely. I need to add 'eat once a day' to my list too but I'd be lying atm. eventually.

This is actually completely untrue. The vast majority of normies get to a plateau in life and stop trying. Their life, their minds and their personalities stop moving forwards in any meaningful way

>>34710157
Is it possible for you to get therapy for your panic attacks? With the right coping techniques you can do great things

>>34710166
Please spend the money you save on food anon. You really need to eat! Hope your financial problems work out

>>34709579
I am proud of you anon! Keep it up! :)

>>34709883
good for you anon! You will be able to do it.

>>34710233
>Is it possible for you to get therapy for your panic attacks?
it's kinda hard because I have agoraphobia

>>34709897
you're on the right path bro! You will be able to do it easily.

>>34709883
>learn to drive a car
I need to do this too, but it's so fucking expensive

>>34709993

We could even improve the board with this attitude. Too many crab-posters here.

>learning to play the piano
>going out and trying to socialize
>going to terapy
I hope some human interaction will help me stop hating myself.
Good luck, bros.

>>34709941
You can do it anon. It's the toughest in the beginning. Just keep on improving.

>>34709491
Yes

>eating less snacks, beef, and sugar
>exercising when I'm not sick
>being compassionate towards others

One day at a time, I'm better guy than I was last year.


Qual tred

>>34710316
Good luck to you too bro. Socializing would certainly change that. I wish you the best in life anon. Hope you have a happy life. :)

>>34710288
Well I'm sure there are books you can read on coping methods, panic attacks aren't all that uncommon. Small steps anon, we can't fix ourselves all at once. Good luck

How big are you? When I was getting ready for the army from being a skinny manlet I made sure to do at least 40/50 twice a day.

>>34709491
Yep.
>tightly controlling what food I eat
>food prepping so its all ready to go
>eliminate snacking entirely

Gonna start exercising soon. Probably will start with sit-ups and push-ups because I can do that inside and not subject others to the hideous mass that makes up my body.

>>34709491
>tfw also started doing exercices
>tfw also learning guitar slowly, although I feel like I'm becoming better
I hope I will have the courage to start running to lose fat when it gets warmer
Also want to learn another instrument because everyone can play guitar

>started reading for half an hour every day to try and improve my focus

I'll be a genius in no time

The majority of you will never reach the level of fulfillment or gratification that you yearn. Unless you were a normie to begin with. People generally don't want you to succeed unless it benefits them in some way. You will gain a bit of pride from the occasional internet fight with "I TRIED WORKING OUT AND GETTING A JOB. ITS ALL A MEME." That's about the extent you'll gain from your venture, besides more suicidal-thought inducing memories.


Truth is we're broken. Lost. We've either allowed ourselves or had no one to help us while we drowed in despair. You've grown up watching people masterfully grace past you in this sea to something better and just now you're trying to learn how to swim in the hopes something similar is in store for yourself. You'll breakstroke and fight for that lie while being told you just have to try hard enough. You'll find after pulling yourself ashore, exhausted and brittle-boned, that you've only just caught up to the baseline. The bare minimum that everyone else was at while you sunk and played with the tide. And you'll break down and settle from your dreams of true happiness for little bit of peace and rest. You'll lay down on the rocky and uncomfortable beach hoping for some sort of inner content. But you've spent too much time in the water. Your lungs have filled with water and your clothes now weigh a ton. You feel yourself sinking in the sand watching people walk briskly among themselves emiting the same joy you longed for. You feel your hands and head burying deeper still. You'll still be drowing.

Nice.

I just had an idea for your next micro-improvement, OP: stop calling them "press ups." The correct term is "push-ups." (make sure to include the hyphen)

Good job, anon. I know what it is to struggle with eating.

You're all trying to "improve", which is basically code word for making yourself useful to females. You all do it for pussy.

That was a fun month while it lasted.
At least I don't want to delete everything out of shame, that's a good thing.

I'm trying to keep going.
I get everything set up in front of me and ready to write but I just can't keep at it. I feel so tired.

I don't mean to disrespect you and I'm sorry if I do, but a lot of people bring others down when they hear there stories about how they're improving their lives just so they don't feel left out. At the end of the day, being a robot at some point will just be pure misery. Trying on the other hand, even if a low chance of success, still gives you that possibility of things changing for the better. At the very least, maybe you'll be able to succeed in some fronts (having money and being clean for example).

You can do it anon I believe in you!
