What finally got you out the door that first day of your ISTness journey? Every evening I regret not waking up early to go work out, and yet I still can't find it in me to make it happen the next morning.

being ugly
i am still ugly but now i am fit and dont feel like shit 24/7
currently this is the closest thing to motivation I have
based, this is better motivation than the former tbqh and I should internalize it
touche
cute
also cute
I'm heavenmaxxing.
I figured however shitty this life here is, it is nothing compared to spending eternity in hell, so my main goal in life is to avoid that.
>Implying I haven't been active since early childhood.

My wife is well on her way to becoming a successful ceramic artist/instructor and wants to open her own studio. I gotta get hot af to make my sugar momma happy
had /bros/ that encouraged me to run/do boxing
on my own now its health anxiety, want to live long and be a father/useful person to others. also just enjoy running/swimming/boxing anyways. trying to motivate fiancee to do more but having trouble
Hating fat people and trying to get in a relationship
Hate/anger never really worked as a long term motivator for me.
You just had it? So you just got off the couch and started lifting? Any more to it than that aside from self-hatred?
Congrats, sounds like you’ve made it fr
Nice, glad you’re getting well-earned mires. I suppose anything is better than nothing, but I’m a very all-or-nothing person, so if I’m going to work out, I’ve gotta come back drenched in sweat or it wasn’t worth it. Definitely need to get over that mindset.
yeah get rid of that mind at least with lifting asap. i have a friend who is 220 lbs of mostly lard, he has similar mindset and is "trying" to lose weight for 6 years now.
Incredibly based. Only person itt who's gonna make it
Quite simply fricking had it with being skinny and weak. Hit the absolute limit of looking in the mirror and seeing a fricking b***h. I want to hear plates rattling when I lift and then go in the mirror and see a thick frickin monster. I'm literally too rarted to roid or I would. I feel like I'd just give myself gyno and destroy my nuts for no reason because I'm a clueless dumbfrick.
>was a degenerate alcoholic throughout university
>had awful diet mostly made up of goyslop
>had to go to the hospital for drinking too much while going out with a friend
>got arrested for a different drinking-related incident
>got fired from my summer engineering internship
>decided I didn't want to be a disappointment to my family anymore
>started lifting 5x a week and haven't stopped for over 18 months
>fixed diet
>stopped binge drinking
>have stable job for about a year now
I started lifting to cope with heartbreak in a better way than smoking myself moronic or drinking myself sick. Turns out I simply enjoy lifting so I continued long after I got over the girl. As I made gains this was further reinforced by external motivations like mires from women, mogging other men, and my own narcissisism/self worth as well.
OP, have you not even started or do you struggle to continue? Just go lift at night when you feel the regret. Don't wait until the morning and repeat the cycle. When you discover the joy of lifting you will look forward to waking up and going to the gym.
I recovered from chronic illness and was unemployed
looking in the mirror and hating what I saw
i was shamed into doing it by IST
I did it before because I had back problems from being too fat and working a desk job.
Now I find that anything I’ve been meaning to do but can’t get myself to start, I identify it and get up and just go do it.
I start understanding myself pretty well. I’m a big procrastinator. Instead of dreaming that I’ll do something, I trick myself into starting by not thinking about it and taking action.
Seeing myself in the mirror, and really seeing myself.
>fall in love with girl who was into me
>didn’t know it till 10 years later
>ask her out
>she already found someone else
It’s over. But I found out I enjoy the gym.
