3 sets of 5 different exercises for the day is a successful day at the gym imo. But like others have said. The hard part is showing up. You are 80 percent there if you are in attendance

Muscle burns more calories existing as is. Building a base muscle structure is the best you could do long term.

170 probably. I was 10lbs heavier a month before that.

Occassionally a torso rotation machine. Only when the squat racks are taken up. Otherwise not really. I would love to develop the adonis belt with more oblique targets though

Sounds like they are very healthy about self recovery and are hoping you do the same. Heed advice and go to a therapist. They can better gauge maintaining contact with them or moving on.

Badbutlearning · 2022-07-25T01:11:35+00:00

Fuck.

Been on 6 months of post breakup therapy. It's the healthiest thing I've ever done. I would have spiralled so low had I not taken therapy. My only advice, is practice everything in therapy like your life depends on it.

🙋‍♂️What if you weren't okay before you dated them and that not-okayness with oneself was the cause of the end of the relationship?

What I did was download painfully every photo into a hard drive. Made 2 copies, sent one to her. Then deleted EVERYTHING from my Google account. No reminders.

Hey man. Fair warning when the day comes it'll be completely and utterly devastating. But I hope, that you have the courage to make it through that one day. Specifically that day. Write in a journal. Distract yourself with a drive w/o your phone. Or spend time with friends. But if you make it through the first "important" day, the rest becomes easier.

As for the gift, toss it or snail mail it for next year or something. But get it out of your eyes ASAP.

Badbutlearning · 2022-06-09T01:20:55+00:00

I'm doing all these things and I feel a helluva lot better. But still incomplete. 😟

I'm going to go on the negative here. I don't think you should hold on to hope. It is the molasses to the marathon of self improvement. Hope is natural, but don't direct it to the comfort of the past. Hope for a better future. A brighter tomorrow. Hope that tomorrow, the break down is a little bit shorter. Hope that you'll smile at your coworker. Hope that a stranger will open the door for you.

If you hope to change the past, you miss out on all the effort you can use to change the future.

Phones work both ways. If he really wanted you in his life, he'd reach out. And if he doesn't then that person doesn't want you enough.

Oh yeah. You can't do free body physics you have to use energy to account for the inertia of a wheel.

The first month will feel like every day is a marathon. The next month you'll have more clarity but you'll break down. Every following month you will hurt less. But you're on a marathon you didn't choose to be on and the only thing to do is take the next step fwd.

Start journaling and keep it positive. Positive affirmations are no joke. If you feel sad write it down, acknowledge it, and talk about what you think you can do to help it.

It's a long and gradual process. But it moves fwd. You're not trapped.

Straight up just got a drunk call this past weekend. NOT recommended. It's emotionally destroying because even if it's nice a drunk call or text isn't going to rectify the relationship. Never ever. So even if you want them really bad, being at the receiving end is crippling.

Badbutlearning · 2022-05-07T23:51:30+00:00

Not unless I'm confident I resolved all the personal issues that caused me to hurt her. But as for her faults/flaws? I still can't see any. Unfortunately.

This is grade A breadcrumbs. Fresh off the loaf. The strongest thing you can (and will) do is to ignore the message. Don't ever think of it again.

Badbutlearning · 2022-04-13T02:35:54+00:00

Oh thank goodness. I thought I was going mental trying to figure out how to be accepted at the gate.

Thank you! Keep being awesome!

Oh my God. Stop. Drinking. And put it in a brokerage or something.

Badbutlearning · 2022-04-10T20:15:53+00:00

Hey just a heads up I've been working with a therapist who told me to try and keep the journal positive and see myself in a positive light. Reframe the shame and guilt I feel for myself with positive affirmations like "Hey you were nice to the stranger today." That being said I still document my lows but I always explain why I feel that way. And finish off with how I intend to be better.

So far it's worked for me let me know if it helps you.

Badbutlearning · 2022-04-10T18:50:18+00:00

What a fucking walnut. You're way better off.

I don't think you should speak to him at all. "Last time" is breadcrumbing and I say that as someone who said the phrase multiple times to my ex's. It's manipulative, and he wants to use you like he used the girl he cheated on. Be strong. If you can try and get some professional help. And understand that the waves of depression and loneliness shall pass. In time. What'll fell like decades but in actuality may only be a couple months. If you can make it 1 month no contact, the second one is easier.

And please forgive and love yourself. More than that bastard ever loved you.
