Hey Guys,
I've been dabbling in and out on this site for a long time, and finally signed up because
1. I need massive amounts of help
2. I feel completely alone in this
THIS being, I consistently struggle with my weight. The things is, I can't pin point exactly why I do. I have good genetics, drop weight fast, know how to workout, know what to eat, even got a PT cert.
But for the life of me, can NEVER follow through with losing weight.
I don't know if it's because I just don't care, or because I "understand" the process of doing so, or because I get results fairly quickly and don't feel I need to "prove" to myself that I can have a ripped and healthy body, so I quit after 3-4 weeks because I know I could just keep going at the pace I'm going and eventually be totally ripped and healthy.
The ONLY thing that *ever* got me to really care to get down to single digit body fat levels, was when attracting a specific woman was involved. That's the only thing that gave me sincere motivation to go "all the way" per se, and finish out the leaning process to get visible abs and cuts and etc. The discipline part wasn't hard when the opposite sex was involved.. (I got the girl).
I'm okay with where I am at with my body in general, so maybe I just don't have as much drive. I find it odd that I had so much drive when the opposite sex was involved.
I'm fairly successful in other areas of life so maybe I don't feel that I "need" it that much.
How about you guys?
What's the deep core reason you want to stay or get ripped and build muslce/ become healthy/better looking?
To gain respect of other men?
To gain respect of women (or your wife/girlfriend)?
To be desired by women because you are respectable?
To respect yourself more because you like what you see in the mirror?
To be more confident in your looks?
To look and appear "strong, and confident"?
Is it egotistical or is it based on a deep rooted insecurity?
Is it based on just a plain healthy desire to be more healthy?
I find it fascinating how the condition of our bodies and how we view them can really change our lives, for better or for worse..
What are the struggles/roadblocks in the way of you achieving your desired body/outcome?
Why do YOU want to change your body, get ripped and build muscle? What is the deep, core reason(s)? And what are the struggles (work in the way, no motivation, no guidance, no solid workout program, not sure where to start) that you have with achieving your goal?
