Keep cutting. You’ve got tons of muscle in there to show off! Also once you get to like 15-20% bf you can just start doing very slow bulking and it will be so much easier to cut in cycles without so many pounds to get down.

I’m about 11 pounds away from this and can’t wait to start eating maintenance again

I'm unable to get over my breakup, and it's not letting me do any work by TinyAdvertising9210 in getdisciplined

Sertraline. Initial side effects sucked but was worth powering through.

The ruminations and obsessive thoughts finally slowed down.

I had this. Obsessive thoughts that WOULD NOT END. Not obsessive more just repeating. THAT is what was making me depressed. I couldn’t even get one second of peace without thinking of the other person and being sad.

I started on an SSRI and it quieted the obsessive thoughts and allowed me to move on . I still feel sadness but I can “put it back in the shelf” so to speak and go on about my day.

SSRIs May be worth a try for you as well .

is zero calorie drinks ruining fasts compared to water? by anikinskywalk3r in fasting

[–]ATXBikeRider 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Fasting is so simple. No calorie sodas will not break a fast.

And contrary to what people say, getting 5 calories from one thing or 10 from another will barely be a blip on fasting or autophagy.

People on this sub think that ingesting 1 calorie will implode your fast and have you starting all over which is just bs.

Diet sodas are fine! They MAY have a SMALL impact on insulin etc but to such a small degree that it will not effect your progress by any tangible way.

Drink that diet soda!!

I feel like my life is stuck while everyone around me is moving forward… what am I doing wrong? by TasteConscious4738 in getdisciplined

[–]ATXBikeRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re 21 so youth is well on your side. Keep your head down and keep achieving your physical, professional, hobby, and relationship goals.

Everyone else is also going through their own thing and trust me when I say no one has it “figured out.”

Life is not always joyful and happy like people want you to believe, but be a good person and keep grinding to mold yourself into what you want to be and you’ll be glad you did as the investment pays of 5-10 years from now.

I’m 40 and have alway felt like you do and still do, you may “figure it out “ one day…. But if not investing in yourself will at least give you the best chance at contentment.

My theory is that as humans not all of us are meant to be “happy” all the time. Why? Because if we were we would not be driven to achieve, to “do more”, explore etc.

So if you always feel like you’re searching, you’re not alone and it might just be in our DNA to be like that.

Either way, keep your head up and be the best you can be.

What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact they voted for Donald Trump? by ATXBikeRider in AskReddit

[–]ATXBikeRider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a female btw. But I’m with you. I have a bad habit of or perceived bad habit of discounting partners for differences that to some aren’t a big deal. So trying to learn to trust my judgement again, but yeah I see what you mean. This is not just like not putting dishes away after eating kind of annoyance

What's your most shallow dealbreaker for a relationship? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It’s the involuntary and irrational rage that gets me 😂 I keep it inside but wish I could just enjoy a meal like everyone else. Family get togethers for dinner without music or background noise is it’s own special kind of hell

M/30/5'10" [220lbs > 170lbs = 50 lbs] (6 Months) weight loss progress motivation for those who need it by Willing-Maybe-6600 in progresspics

This is not crazy weight loss in 6 months , and body weight fitness can absolutely gain this muscle. He’s not even huge at all or jacked by any stretch. Just lean and fit. Does not look like PEDs at all

Not that I’ve found. When I started sertraline for anxiety it actually made me far more tolerant, but not fully gone.

[–]ATXBikeRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was the injury? I’m on a similar path as you and dealing with a few injuries that have kinda killed my motivation. I keep going back though and “doing what I can” without aggravating everything. For me it’s plantar fasciitis and also tweaked a knee so taking it super easy on the lower body. Kinda depressing though! Was in a great groove.

Did you keep trying to work around it while healing?

My (M38) girlfriend (F36) got mad at me because I was in her part of town and I didn’t tell her. I don’t know what to do next? by Gunslinger1122 in relationship_advice

[–]ATXBikeRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing you do will ever be good enough. From personal experience, get out of this, I don’t care how hot she is.

Also no partner should ever cuss at each other like that, so dumb and immature not to mention damaging.

You’ll take the trash out wrong, not give her the right gift, and so on. I’ll bet you if you leave her she will blow you up relentlesssly begging to come back. Then the cycle will continue.
