Guys how do I make myself exercise and eat properly, after a very long gap of not exercising and dieting?

I make commitments to start everyday, but the inertia is keeping me from actually starting. I've gotten so used to stuffing my face like a pig, I can't eat normal amount of food. I've gotten so used to lazing around, I can't bring myself to do physical activity.

Do it anyway. You'll be uncomfortable but the first time is most important. Everything else is just repetition and holding yourself accountable. If you can't do that then get a piece of paper and write down your rules with shitty punishments that are easier to enact but suck to endure. Get fucking creative, it's your life, so you get to decide what happens to you.

As someone who's started again a little over a month ago, this made it click for me:
>going to the gym each weekday after work commute
I was always somewhat dreading the hour+ 3x-week sessions before I fell off. Going every day is nice because I can just do a few lifts for 30 minutes if I'm really not feeling it, and still feel somewhat accomplished. A few times a week I get really into it and lift >1 hour anyway. Also if I miss a day I don't get to beat up about it, since I still went to the gym 4x that week. It helps to pack my gym clothes to work every day, since it feels bad to commute back home with fresh, unused gym clothes. Like I broke a promise to myself
>lazy food tracking
I hated calorie-tracking and it's straight-up not feasible for me since I lunch at work often. Now I just tell an llm what I ate in a day, without autistically measuring it (i.e. bowl of yoghurt with strawberries, 3 eggs, etc.) and ask it to calculate the calories + protein content of that day. It's only an estimate at best, but at least it's a ballpark guess and it gets you thinking actively about what you're eating. I refrain from binging because it feels like a humilitation ritual to have to 'confess' that shit to the llm. I weigh myself as well to try and make it a science experiment (does a week of calorie deficit actually translate to lower bodyweight, etc.). You can just ask it to report everything in table form and append it each day - I just copy it to excel.

Damn. but truly, is that even true? Everyone has the screen addiction these days.
>>
>>77308653
> a massive reduction of time

i haven't got off the screens per se, but i have replaced it with more meaningful actions: reading, learning and working rather than just scrolling

also trying to create more than i consume has worked pretty well. i won't ever ditch the screens entirely i don't think as in my opinion they do more good than harm if used correctly
>>
>>77302975
Start easy. Do one or two exercises every day. Don’t make yourself exhausted. Just workout until you feel energized. Don’t spend more than a few minutes. Do this every day. After awhile you can expand the sets. I’ve been exercising almost every day since January. I only do 2-3 exercises a night. 3 sets of each. Takes 20-30 minutes. I hate it most days but because the time investment is so small I force myself to do it. It is slowly becoming a habit.
>>
>>77308732
Yah, I'm trying to renegotiate te screen in my life. It has a lot of utility, but if I am being honest with myself, probably 1 hour for every 10 is actually useful. I guess its just trying to find the analog equivalent of what I am doing.

>>77308653

Delete all social media.
Set your phone settings to the most basic possible. A lot of power saving modes leave you with a grey scale phone with almost all apps hidden. Keep it on power saving as much as possible and ypu essentially have a phone from 2005.
Delete all apps that aren't absolutely necessary.
Keep your phone out of reach when you aren't using it at home. Place it far enough away that you need to get up and walk to it.
Stay busy. The doomscrolling only happens when you are sitting around. Don't sit around so much.
>>
>>77308653
I work in tech, and outside of when I'm working, I've pretty heavily "de-screened".

Basically you have to make any other activity your default over using your desktop/laptop/phone. For me, it was reading. I've only been at it 6 months, but I've already got a neat lil library. I still lurk/shitpost on 4chan, and I still play video games, but those are intentional now, not just default habits. On top of reading, I also meditate too. Cloud of Unknowing was pretty good if you're looking for more western style.

Also, it helps MASSIVELY, that the internet is by and large irredeemably awful now.
>>
>>77308798
>>77308802
I can see I need to plan this more. Plan my screen time, and when the activities have been accomplished, shut it down. And have alternative activities ready at hand so, if I get the itch, I can read, go for a walk, yell at plants etc.

>>77308962
> I'm trying to get good at it, too, but mostly the basics
ive been coding for ~10 years, literally half my life lol. my unsolicited advice re. learning is to not use AI to learn. sure get it to do PoC/demos but you should write the actual implementation yourself. its something i can talk about for hours hehe

> you working on any projects?
my main one at the moment is creating some jester polymarket clone, where you gamble on whether trains in the UK will be delayed or not. this is where the ML comes in, making some market makers so people who use the site can still gamble somewhat realistically. no real money tho

> what are you playing
cs primarily, jumping back into terraria. i hate competitive games because i get super into it and tilted lol

what idea got rejected?
>>
>>77308977
>idea
ML model that scans procurement contracts for potential fraud. didn't fit the problem statement well, or so I was told.
>coding for that long
wow. I picked up Python about five or so years ago, but I've never been consistent. something I need to work on for sure. even now I'm building models instead of doing it.
still, I'd love to make some games, but the success rate is so abysmal I really wonder if it's a worthwhile use of time.
is JavaScript worth it?
>jester polymarket clone
sounds fun, lol. post a screenshot or something if you can, pleaz
>>
>>77309066
i will once there is something to post

> I'd love to make some games
this is how we all start off haha. it is definitely a labour of love. game devs aren't compensated nearly enough for the work they do. unless they make shit games, then they deserve the $70k usd

>is JavaScript worth it?
depends what you want to do. make games? nah. make browser games? maybe, but also probably nah. make a web server? not in my opinion. make a website? yeah. that's about the only place you should use JS/TS, because you are forced to.

but this is /fit/ so i will stop talking about this now. go well anon
>>
>>77308870

Schedule things to do. You're not going to be doomscrolling during your Spanish class, or a training session at your Judo Club, or during a a game of 40k with your buds. You aren't going to watch YouTube shorts during a hike with your gf or at the pub during a dart league game. It doesn't matter what it is, just have something to do. 'Screen addiction, in my opinion, is largely a product of isolation and idleness .

Judo, and I was in the military for a long time (youth boarding school type training, then Navy, then Army) I also worked a lot of jobs that were just all dude crews doing hard work in tough environments. Im an old fuck.

The "New Guy gets hazed, proves himself through hard work, and becomes a valued member of the team" pattern occurs so regularly that I think its coded into male genetics. You have to count coup, do a spirit quest, pick the edelweiss, etc before you're a full member of the tribe.Its a natural part of forming male communities, so just commit to it and you'll be alright. If you already have a nickname you're on your way.

all right,i need some tips on red light therapy
More importantly on how much time,intensity and what wavelength of light is recommended for this?I'm pretty sure it need to be a band of light and not exact numbers
Watching the sunrise and sunset is great but i think that works "only" as a preventative measure however it might work as a therapeutic tool i have no idea
anyway i want the light to penetrate as deep as the heart,what wattage,wavelength should be used for such purpose? Also what about heat? I see a lot of infrared heat lamps available on amazon but i have no idea if they are legit

I have similar problems in my work and college too.

why do you find yourself gaining weight? going through tough periods in life or just loving food
>>
>>77310856
Both. I love certain kinds of food.
Another problem is indeed, going through tough periods of life. I have had a binge eating disorder for a long time. Back in high school, when life was generally good, I had it under control and was pretty fit. But, since entering college and also having to work, I have been absolutely miserable for years. My binge problem came back with a vengeance. In certain semesters when academics becomes a bit easier, I manage to exercise and diet properly and become fit, but then again become miserable and blow up.
>>
>>77310869
i think that is the first problem to solve my friend. what makes you miserable?
>>
>>77310874
Just generally being tired. I have lots of responsibilities, and my academics is quite difficult, I don't get enough sleep. My hobbies like vidya, reading books now are gone. even sometimes I do play viday, it just doesn't bring as much pleasure as it used to. Overall, life has just gotten harder for me in general, and hence the miserable binge eating.

What helped me was philosophy.
Yeah, i know, its not something very active but really helped me rebuild my WHOLE mental framework.

My choices won't be your choices though, i myself went with nietzsche, evola, maquiaveli and seneca (yes, nietzsche and seneca.)
Why? Because they are the ones who most speak in my descendency and also language.
The ones who i most "get it" just by reading easily.

I doubt these will do the exact same to you (who knows) but helped me alot.
I just dropped anything that was pulling me down and kept pushing.
It worked.
I am so far on a streak of Ws non stop and aiming higher at each step.

Beyond that, it would help too just trying to do something differently with the little time you have.
I am writting a novel on my way to my course, then reading books while i am going to work and making physical training when i get home(which is 7 pm and i still sleep before 10pm, waking up around 4:45am)

And i am being able to do it.
A year ago i would not be able to do half of it, because i kept pulling myself down and weakning my whole mind which went to my body too.

Overall, only you can help yourself, understanding that for me has also saved me.
I pulled myself out of the hole i was and now i am climbing walls little are doing.

Bless you and i belive in you.

One thing that shaped my view on these things too.
Nietzsche had some good and unique views on the time of studying the past, as he said some lost themselfs in it and started thinking like man of that time without being in there.
Not exacly the same as you said but works to warn against changing your mind for others or looking at the past and forgetting the present.

Lately I've been worried about how much time I spend on this website instead of doing useful stuff, so I'm trying a method to stop myself from lurking mindlessly. I note down every board I use, and then what do I use it for, that is, what board-specific topics interest me. The trick is to set up a series of catalog filters in such a way that only a few relevant threads come up every time I open the website, so I don't waste time lurking threads about shit I don't actually care about.
You should give it a try.

Man, I really gotta lock in in the last two semesters of college I got left. My grades aren't that good and I need to absolutely ace all courses to make the grade I need to enter my dream university for Masters.
But the problem is, I am absolutely lazy and burnt out now. I have a much lighter workload now than before, but because I have become so burnt out, even doing the bare minimum feels like a Herculean effort. These past 4 years of college has been the most miserable I have ever been.
I have started to make peace with the fact that I won't achieve my goals and make it.

Does anyone else have this kind of problem when trying to move up in life?
I'm an engineer and currently doing my master's. Since I'm kind of autistic, I tend to measure everything through grades. When I get good grades, I feel like I'm actually capable of improving and achieving more. But when I get bad grades, I immediately feel like I don't deserve any of it, and that the appropriate response is to treat myself like shit, eat poorly, and basically punish myself.
People keep telling me I shouldn't tie my self-worth to my grades, but honestly, grades feel like the only objective metric I have. Everything else seems way too subjective.
The thing is, being good at math is pretty much the only reason I've managed to get out of the South American shithole I grew up in. So it's hard not to see academic performance as a measure of my worth when it's been the main thing that's opened doors for me my entire life.
What's even more frustrating is that a lot of people, both men and women, have told me that my real problem is my mindset. They've said I'd be attractive if I didn't think the way I do. For context, I'm almost 2 meters tall and, according to other people, relatively good-looking. But for fuck's sake, it's easy to tell someone to change their mindset. Actually doing it is a completely different story.
Has anyone dealt with something similar?

>>77313449
yes. I sense some kind of insecurity. At least that is it for me probably. I'm always comparing my grades to the others, looking at grade distributions for exams and factoring in the time i studied. If I tried hard and failed I feel subhuman. Most likely because it's the only thing I have going for me, studying in a moderately selective program
I'm not a 2m chad but people tell me I look normal though I feel like a bug. khhv obviously

Any advice for getting over a breakup, lads?

I was alone for a while, years actually, because I was too depressed to do anything beyond the bare minimum of my part-time job to keep a roof over my head. It sucked but I was kinda used to it. Start of last year I moved back to my home town to help out when one of my grandparents went into hospital. I started getting my life back in order - got a new job with regular hours that pays pretty well, started going to the gym again, made friends with one of the guys at work and began actually doing stuff on the weekends or after work. Things were going alright and I had plans to keep up the momentum.

Then I met this girl at work. She'd been there since I started but we worked in different departments and didn't really interact until some renovations forced us to start using the same break room.
She was obviously damaged goods; even in office wear I could see she had tats all over her arms/legs/chest, she had a ladder of scars down both wrists, more than half a dozen piercings that I could see including her septum, and her hair was dyed bright red.
She was damaged goods but she was easy to talk to and obviously into me despite the 13 year age gap. We caught up outside of work a couple of times and more warning signs appeared - "I was 12 when I was raped the first time", "my car was pretty comfortable when I was homeless", "I don't do speed anymore" - but I kept seeing her.
I knew it wasn't going to be a long-term relationship, instability of interpersonal relationships is a core feature of BPD and she was a walking checklist for that disorder. Even if she didn't inevitably flip out at some point, I couldn't imagine marrying her or even introducing her to my family. I told myself not to get attached.

The last 5 months have been incredible though

At first it felt like we were speedrunning the highschool romance experience I'd missed out on back in the day - sneaking into her room because she'd moved back into her parent's garage, nodding along as I faked an interest in all the bands she was obsessed with, driving down to the beach at midnight to smoke a joint by the children's playground.
We've had some adventures. We broke into an abandoned asylum and explored the place until we almost got caught by the security. She took me to my first rave and we fucked while I was tripping on mushrooms. I took her camping for the first time and we fucked on the beach as the sun set behind us.
The relationship felt all-consuming. She wanted to spend every night together and when we said goodbye she'd drag it out for as long as she could. I woke up in the morning one time to her kissing my body while I slept. I found myself lying about being busy I could breathe.

The last few weeks though ... she was even more desperate to spend time together but when we were together it wasn't the same. Sometimes she'd be just as loving as before, sometimes she'd be cold or irritable.
Then she found out I was flying interstate for a few days to a friend's wedding - we argued about how I was abandoning her and how I was probably going to cheat.
The next day her parents kicked her out of the house with 48h notice after they caught her smoking a joint.

Long story short, we broke up. I was the one broke it off only to regret it the next day and try to patch it up but of course she's just leaving me on 'read' now
I felt like I made the right decision at the time but now it just seems like the biggest mistake. I feel sick, depressed, suicidal, all that shit. For all the bad, she had a lot of good points too. Everything I had in my head that made me think the the relationship was doomed long-term still stands but maybe I should've tried.

In any case, it's over. Fucking now what?

The "grades = self worth" system seems interesting, especially because it has a history of working. Why do you need some kind of objective indicator to take care of yourself though? Do you do the dishes only once they've earned it?

Hi anon.

Another sperg here with the same issue. I haven't found a solution but be aware you are not alone.

I’m confused on how to start my fitness journey.

I’m 6 foot 3 and have a strange build, I’m definetely starting to go from skinny fat to bordering on fat but if I look in the mirror or someone sees me in a t shirt I just look normal or slightly in shape? If I didn’t have a slight beer gut from alcohol abuse I’d just have an average looking build but I don’t work out at all, I have mo chest at all and my arms only look normal because I probably have some fat. I’m probably about 160 pounds but that’s a guess

Should I be doing cardio to lose the belly or do I just start lifting weights for a few months?
>>
>>77315196
why is it either/or? why not lift and do cardio after?
diet also matters, that's where you really lose the belly.

Does ChatGpt give good adivce for routines? Is very hard for me to improvise, so i need very comprehensive routine in order to do something, could those chatbots help, for example, with skincare routines, or language learning things?

>>77315203
Because it I am still kinda skinny in terms of not having a solid base to build muscle on would cardio not make me lose parts of the gains from lifting? And should I be trying to gain weight or lose weight

First time posting on /fit/
I did it bros
I went to a gym
I spent 30 minutes there only because I overlooked 2 things
1. I bought a pants with no pockets so I had to hold the locker key in my hand
2. I forget to bring a towel, and this was my first day so I didnt want to leave my sweat on machines
I just spend 30 minutes on a treadmill today, I set it to 4% incline and 6.5 km/h
When I stepped down I had vertigo for a good 30 second. no idea why
But I dont care, I'm going back tomorrow with pants that have pockets and a towel

I want to try the epilator but it didnt turn on and I was too scared to ask anyone

Too late. Way too late. I really wanted her back breh.

>Find annutha ho.
I was single for literally years before she started forcing herself into conversations I was having with other colleagues.
I downloaded hinge, tinder and bumble but beyond that I've no idea how to meet girls. Fuck, I don't know how to meet anyone. I've been a mostly asocial loner for the last 4 years.

Hey Anon I’m an American and I’m actually in the same situation as you.
> physics major
> accepted into top tier school SOMEHOW
> 6 ft tall, blond w blue eyes, apparently in attractive when I don’t have such a shitty demeanor, at least that’s what I’ve gathered.
> super confident last year when I got good grades, this year I got bad grades; feels bad.

>>77315552
same situation, anon. main problem is proximity. maybe if you dump yourself into a friend group with some women in it...
I am really a nerd, so a fair amount of the people I talk to have jacked off more times than they have talked to girls.
is there a socialmaxxing guide that starts from step 1 itt?
I have the thread MEGA link downloaded, I'll comb through it later...

>>77315368
congrats, anon. welcome to the club.
>too scared to ask
in such situations you may want to ask either the staff or someone who's experienced with the gym. in my experience they're the most helpful. beginners don't know much and middlefags seem to resent fresh blood.
try the rowing machine, too, I like it.
keep us posted anon.

>>77315259
the routines are mid in my experience. the /fit/ sticky has one I followed for a while. after that didn't really help me I signed up to a swanky gym and they gave me a much better routine instead. so irl definitely better.
>skin
I just asked it about a cream I use and it got the usage wrong. make of that what you will

I have a vision of where I want to be in five years but don't know what the path is. I have an interest in /o/ and /out/ however I have no friends into it (or close friends at all) and don't know where to start getting into it without making a fool of myself. Maybe its social anxiety, indecision, etc. but I don't even know where to go or what to do. I've gone on family /out/ trips and own a motorcycle (want to get a project car at some point) but don't socialize with anyone. Any recommendations where to begin socializing?

On a side note I also am looking to meet girls (in addition to making friends) but don't know where to find them, any recommendations there? I am kind of a dork/nerd (usually staying at home playing vidya or watching anime), 28 KHHV but my life is otherwise in order apart from my social life and I make decent money.

A year ago I was 162 lbs (178cm) and decided to do a bulk. I could barely do 1 good form pull up back then. I bulked up to 190, and now cut back to 165, and now I can do about 12 pull ups, 25 dips @ bodyweight. Much stronger than before. However I also started seeing hookers, so women aren't much of a motivation anymore. I'm just in it for the love of the game.

You're probably looking at it the wrong way. A lot of people assume someone is "out of their league," but the truth is that attraction is way more subjective than it seems. Plenty of attractive people are insecure and have their own doubts, just like everyone else. Instead of deciding for someone else that they wouldn't be interested in you, focus on becoming more comfortable with yourself and putting yourself out there. Also remember that constantly comparing real people to the most attractive people you see online can skew your expectations. You'll always find beautiful women attractive, but that doesn't mean they're automatically unattainable. The biggest mistake is rejecting yourself before they ever get the chance to decide for themselves.
>>
>>77319516
Where do you even put yourself out there? Or should you try and do things you like and not focus too much on the "meeting someone" part
>>
Before dating apps the biggest way people met wives and husbands was through friend groups. So get women or someone who knows many women into your group.
Now the question - how do you do that?
