can we get a motivational thread that has a little bit more depth than one liners and quotes specifically about lifting weights? Anything that motivates you to keep going, or stuff that makes it all seem worth it to you. Even just little realizations and shit.
The girl I'm infatuated with seems indifferent to me so I'm losing some of my drive to lift or play rugby. So currently my main source of motivation is just distraction by occupying all of my free time with training or other hobbies. But it would be nice to identify with a purpose or have some intrinsic motivation to improve.

What's sort of helping me is the idea that one day I want to travel the world and see everything I can, and when I do I want to be as close to a perfect specimen as I can for the people of the world to admire. Seems weird but the idea of visiting different countries in a perfect body I've spent years creating is what helps. Seems dumb typing it out but whatever.

For some reason, this is the quote that has always stuck with me. I'm bigger now than I've ever been and I'm getting bigger. My biggest fear in life has always been, "what if?"

It's not dumb at all. I'm aesthetic as fuck and travel for half the year/work for the other half. I also maintain pretty well when I'm out there. Most people that travel drink all day and eat like shit. I do both, but I also work out and count calories so I always look better than everyone else.
I'm excited for you, anon. Keep working towards it and take that fucking trip.

I've always thought these threads were puerile, but that line alone rocks me to the core.

I think you just gave me the one line I need to pull through those last couple of reps. All I can think to say is thank you.

anon, we are out worst enemies. your ideas are only as dumb as you say they are.
listen to that other anon and
Take. That. Fucking. Trip.
Well /fit/, I started lifting because of a girl. She was the only one who would look at me like I was human. She talked to me regularly and the way her eyes looked into mine made me feel wanted. I should have started a relationship with her but as time went on she got a boyfriend and later the big C. A year later and she was gone. The last time I spoke to her was a day or so before she passed. I invited her over for DnD and she declined because she said was tired. Whenever I don't feel like doing something because I'm 'tired' I just remember that I'm a Fatty who never took chances, I'm not tired.

You're right about that first bit I'm still working on that. This and other threads are definitely helping. I will take that fucking trip.

That's rough, I'm sorry that you bad to go through that. That helps me too, to realize there are other people who have a real reason to be tired, and my sorry ass has no excuse.
