but now I got a crush on a qt, seeing her at a party on friday wish me luck.
I didn't make it and I'm far from making it.
I still feel as depressed as the last 3 years and I dont know why.
At least I didn't give up with some things yet I guess

Im up to my eyes in credit card debt because i put every cent i had for the last two years into the car
And if i was a rich boy, i would be with her. The problem is shes on the other side of the country. So go sit on a cactus, you literal mongaloid.

>go to the gym 3 times a week at least
succeeded. it was my first year at the gym, I thought i'd never stick with it, but I did. I was hindered by small injuries (and moving) that set me back a few weeks, but aside from that really happy

Bad:

I haven't made it yet, and I still have a long way to go before I'm anywhere near satisfied, but goddam it feels good to evaluate yourself and realize that you haven't wasted another year doing fuck all.
I owe it all to you /fit/, myself today is better in every single way than my former fat, lazy, pussy self. Knowing that is the best feeling in the world.
Keep it up brahs, we're all gonna make it.
>>34950198
She broke up with me. So, not really.
>>34950200
You are correct sir.

>Lost interest in some of my passions, like music
>Only fucked 2 chicks
>Could use more gains
Feels kinda like a blur.
Spent the first half crushing way too hard on a girl that I never made moves on. Over the summer I made out with a girl that I thought was way out of my league. I have issues with body image so that was a massive confidence boost.
Once the fall semester started I crashed. Dropped 2 courses and have accepted that I may fail a third but I want to salvage it. Dealt with depression for 6+ years, ready to move ahead with a fresh mindset. I'm switching my major to something I can really see myself doing. Quit pot after smoking every day for ~4 years. Just waiting for the gains to roll in
>gained 25 lean pounds this year
>graduated uni
>got a real job making real money
p good i guess
>partner died
>grandfather died

>caught up in large police raid
>had to deal with court drama
>under investigation by a couple of organisations
>no money, struggling to look after large family because my father is a useless cunt
>submitted honours thesis a week ago. Even though my grades are at 1st class level, my thesis suffered considerably and it is unlikely that I will ever become a health professional or a researcher.
Lost 115lbs so far which is something. Made pretty good face gainz and decent social gainz. Wanna hit goal weight and pack on a bunch more muscle in 2016
Good:
>Deadlift and squat are in advanced stages
>closer than ever to qtpa2t gf (multiple holidays, increased anal/sex)
>got her in to lifting and she's made serious ass gains
>became friends with gay couple and gf enjoys watching me make out with them (no homo though)
>finally able to bench 2plate for 5
Bad:
>friend went total douche bag and doesn't want to see me
>gym bro/co-worker stopped going to gym after getting a gf and is now acting like a twat
It's hard seeing someone on their way to making it be brought down by a succubus and become fat and unmotivated.
>>34950381
>gay couple and gf enjoys watching me make out with them
This is homo.
>>34950527
He said no homo
>>34949783
Can't wait for the new year. My New Year's resolution is to join a gym and get in shape finally.
>>34950583
Start now. Don't wait till January.
The dark truth is that you never make it. Dom Mazetti said it best when he said "the first day you go to the gym is the day you're forever small, because you'll never be as big as you want to be."
Sure, if my 18 year old self saw me now he'd say I made it, but when I look in the mirror I only see weakness and lack of gains.
>>34950606
>if my 18 year old self saw me now he'd say I made it
>but when I look in the mirror I only see weakness and lack of gains
right hurr. fuck will i ever be happy?
>>34950583
Start small now. Don't jump into it all in one day.
Start walking more, start counting your calories, do 10 push ups or something. Start easy. You don't even have to eat at a calorie deficient yet. The fact that you're even counting is enough to prepare you for your resolution. The fact that you're even walking is enough to prepare you. The fact that you're even doing a push up is enough to prepare you.
Just don't all jump into it in one day.
>>34949783
I don't want the new years to happen. The uni gym gets so packed that if you show up at the wrong time they won't let you in. Dyels need to resolve to do body weight routines this year please.
>graduated
>moved out
>got work
>lost over 70 pounds so far on my cut
>still need to lose more but finally shaping up a bit
>can run pretty far without feeling completely out of breath
>stronger overall, getting mad respect from people who saw me before the transformation
Got a long way to go, but I've made enough progress that I can look back on this year and be proud of all I've done.
>>34950606
You are weak minded, but in a strong body.
Going to the gym does not make you whole, you have to correct your mindset as well.

>still a virgin, even worse, I fell in love, I think I got over it, now I regret that I allowed myself to get into situation like that. Being in love helps with depression and confidence though. She also had a thing for me, but she was a bitch and was in a relationship and cheated on her boyfriend during that time. Brain knows I dodged a bitch, but heart doesn't feel it.

my granma died
I've made up my mind to lose weight at the beginning of the year, so I exercised a bit here and there. It wasn't until the end of August when I mustered up the courage to go to a gym and found it my weight. Holy shit, 230 lbs.
Now I'm 205 lbs and everyone says I'm looking thinner than before, so I'm gaining a little more confidence now. However, I still cannot get over my shyness and my inability to make friends, but I'm working on it. My self-esteem is still dangerously low, too.
I'd say it went alright.
>Lost 45 lbs
>Finished high school, just waiting to leave for basic training
>Stronger and faster than before
>Better looking too
>Incredibly self confident now
Mostly happy, except
>Three women on my mind for various reasons
>No chance with any for various reasons
Fuck women, dude. That's all I've got to say.
>>34949783

starting making serious gains other than losing fat

>>34951631
Man, it sucks. I had one like that. I liked her, but she started dating another guy and then stopped talking to me. She was everything I wanted from a girl. I don't even know how I feel about her now.
>>34949986
After first I was like "I wanna make it like this anon", I don't want to make it now
>>34951669
The worst part is the feeling that I will never find someone that compatible to me again. That was a once in a life time thing and there's nothing I can do about it. Good luck to you, anon. I hope you get what you want out of life.
>>34951690
Thanks man, and just remember to never give up hope for another. They're out there. And when you find her, don't wait like I did. It'll kill you when you're up at 2:45 in the morning thinking about all the shit in your life that could have turned out better and she crosses your mind.
I was doing pretty good until I went over 200lbs.

The beginning was sit but the end is shaping up nicely
Fired from my job
Rejected from the military
Almost broke up with my gf
Lost a mate in a car crash
Had to pay $800 dollars on a car I didn't even own
The last half of the year has been great
Started lifting
Got accepted into study I've been putting off doing for 2 years
Became a volunteer paramedic
New job with higher pay and I'm a manager
Managed to quit smoking.
Bring on 2016. Oh and fuck green texting

Luckily I'm hopelessly optimistic. In a month or so I should be back to enjoying my life and making gains mentally, physically, and monetarily. Going back to school this semester, getting a low paying non-forklift job and saving it all, have plans to slowly regain fluency in German and later French once I'm fluent in Spanish.
I learned a lot this year. Now I'll use what I learned so I never have another year like this again. We're all gonna it.

No complaints. Avoided getting laid off and saved up $40k.
>>34949783
I finally recovered from a fighting injury. Right pectoral seperated from my collar bone and sternum. Finally able to get back into serious workouts. Starting with body weights and hopefully starting around next March I'LL be able to do some lifting again. Also hopeful for hand to hand training again next year.

It'll be a quarter million before I'm done with school but I'll make that in a year so how fucked can I really be? Since when are doctors underpaid?
>>34952074
First of all, you won't start off at a quarter mil. Second, taxes exist. Third, doctors aren't as valuable as they were when we were growing up (thanks Obama)
Rip in peace anon.
>>34952111
lol I can make 200k starting, pay ~60k in taxes and walk away starting off with 140k to do whatever I want with...by the time I'm in my 50s I can be making anywhere from 400k-1 mil in administrative positions or running my own practice. Yeah taxes kek my shit up senpai but all I want to do is fuck, smoke, work, lift, and sleep. I wouldn't give a shit if I was stuck at 200-300k my entire life honestly, who can't live comfortably on that much? people are greedy lol
>>34952191
Sorry senpai I've just had too much "college is evil" koolaid. Thank you for kindly explaining how I was wrong. Best of luck.

You did the right thing up until you messaged her.
From my experience if you were willing to do that shit for her and she didn't even try to stop you from moving out that really shows her true colors.
Best bet is to move on. She won't ever be loved like that again and you did right by not subjecting yourself to a 2 way street with 1 way traffic, breh.
Cling on to what dignity you have left and separate.
You'll be alright in a few months.

other than that, 2015's going great. gained 13lbs, looking a lot better, finally getting those guns going. going to press 2plate soon. fuck i hate girls, why do they exist.
>>34952698
Yeah, thanks. It was a weird moment of weakness and I'm not sure what to say to her facebook message response when it comes around.
>>34952709
You can either learn to influence and interact with the world you live in or close yourself off and be sheltered from a life of experiences.
Bro, even if she's been a whore who the fuck cares? Where you not once someone who doesn't stand here today?
People change.
>>34952735
Don't get hung up on it. I mean really, it won't matter what she says. The damage is done there.
Just conduct yourself in a professional manner, you don't owe her anything . If anything she'll realize how stupid she was to suggest that shit in the first place but it doesn't matter now because you've now learned who she is when it actually comes crunch time.
I'd advise you to play it off. Clearly you aren't a priority to her, why should she be to you?
>>34952740
>People change
some do, some don't. that's what i hoped for with my ex, but i was disappointed. you can't influence another human being that much. if they don't want to change, they won't. if a girl would rather go out every week, drink and flirt with random guys, i think i'll just pass.

I'm an ex-fatass. Lost about 5-6kg this year in total. 41kg overall since Jan '14. Now at 5'9 71kg and hoping to hit 69kg before the end of the year. Next year I'll start my first bulk.
Progress on on my lifts - good
Regress on looks - gained 10kgs
Progress intellectually - read a lot of books this year, started getting into economics, brushed up some math I did at uni
Regressed or stalled - Romantically. My relationship feels stuck in a rut.
Progressed socially - thanks to board games I'm meeting friends at least twice a week now!
Regressed or stalled on the guitar - I stopped practicing in summer. I should start recording myself and start progressing.
I hope the next year will have more progress then regress or stalling.
When will the pain go away guys?

You mean the fucked up shit people do for it?
Drug addiction is physical no doubt, your body is going to be fucked up while you detox if you go cold.
But the thing is you can still do it. Many people have before for their health/families/friends and many will continue to do so.
Coke is on the lower spectrum of addictiveness anyway as far as hard drugs go.

To keep some context here is the timeline. I got a big crush on her senior year of high school, visited her college the following year.
We are now juniors in college. We've talked intermittently over the past couple years on facebook and face-to-face over breaks from school.
>How did she react?
So I actually came clean about not showing up to coffee with her back in HS. I told her I was so fucking nervous I sat in my car during the time we were supposed to meet. She of course barely remembered, and told me not to worry about it, then I told her I had a huge crush on her back then. I don't recall her saying much about it, then I talked about other stuff going on in my life, my Dad's DUI mostly.
Finally before I ended the call, I asked her if she ever felt that way about me. After a long pause and an ummmmmm
>"I haven't really thought about it"
I think she was just being nice about it, I really doubt she was so oblivious.
Here is the most important part
>How did I feel afterwards
Now I don't really think about her at all, what could have been or whatever. It did reaffirm that I am a total failure when it comes to my love life but oh well. Overall I'm glad I did it.
Once you hear it come from her mouth it really finalizes it. I think getting closure for these kind of situations are really nice. I wish I did it earlier.

I used to see my therapist one hour per week (at the worst time 2 hours per week) for 1,5 year, at the same time visiting psychotherapist (for medicine) each month. It helped me with everything, really. It may seem degrading first, but going on a therapy means you've realized you have a problem and you wanna do something about it.

Loneliness got to me at last.
Really hard, I kept it hidden for so long.
After that, I started losing weight, for real this time.
After Mid September, i've lost over 12 kg of weight, so it has to mean something.
Weighed about 113 kg before I started losing weight.
Still have to work on my social skills.

2015 was great for me.
