g-good job

Seriously though if you want people to tell you that you're going to make it then better off going to /fit/

I did all of that in 2013!
I worked out very casually before that and was convinced I was incapable of having abs/muscle definition. Got a physical job (but still in retail, so human interaction), started losing weight/looking slimmer, so I hit the weights. Became very aesthetic in about 7-8 months.

Updated wardrobe, better fitting stuff, more /fa/.
Working retail made me less socially self-conscious, more confident - no more depression.

Found a gorgeous girlfriend who is best friend. Regular sex. She is madly in love with me.


Fast-forward to 2015, still have all these things.

Feel empty again.

Sorry man, didn't want to bum your mood, but you can't just fix your life by looking sexier. Take this new-found confidence and make a difference in the world. I haven't done that, and I'm starting to hate myself again.

I should stop writing these, usually my personal successes go to my head and I get too confident with the shit I do, then I get depressed again.

Anyways, I dress however the fuck I want now, take chances, I don't care what people think of me, and people like me because of this. I'm the happiest I have ever been in my life, and I can say that honestly.

so far in 2015 I haven't bought a single article of clothing (to be honest I don't really need any more, at least not until it starts getting warm out anymore)

I haven't gotten a job yet since quitting my old one in november 2014 despite putting out loads of applications

I'm still living with my parents

but there is one good thing, one very very good thing. I finally got with my oneitis of 10 years and now we hang out and fuck all the time. proof that you CAN get out of the friendzone

My life literally gets better every year. It's not about resolutions, just taking literally every opportunity you're given, even if you don't want to take it. You'll be surprised how things branch out.

Congrats on losing the weight OP. I'm just curious as to how someone gets there in the first place? I mean, don't you look at yourself in the morning and just feel disgusted? I know girls have a way of mentally shifting responsibility to external factors, but as a guy, you think you would say "shit, maybe I should stop eating like a garbage pail, I look like shit"

Exactly. Maybe i'm just drunk but preach nigga.

This is like the main thing that improved me(not op btw). But seriously fuck your comfort zone, if you're shitting your pants its a good thing, keep on doing new shit. Worst case it sucks and you learned a lesson.
