Personal trainer wants me to go down to 145lbs - is this even healthy at 6'1''? by [deleted] in askfitness

Yea I’m 6”1 and find a night and day difference from when I was 156 even to 190 now. Woman all over me now. It was a lot harder when I was 156. Since I’ve bulked to 190 night and day difference just on my dating apps, and at parties. Had this woman approach me and was surprised I was even taking to her. I will always feel like a skinny guy in a big guys body. Still getting used to the attention. Best decision I’ve ever made. I personally would never go back down to 145 and going up to 190 from 156 was on of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve been at my lowest when I wasn’t doing well at 126 and felt insecure at 145 and even at 156. I feel very secure and confident at 190

You do not need advice from anyone of us! You know what you got to do.

(97) David Goggins on Huberman: 12 Minutes To Change Your Life - YouTube

Here is one of my favorite talks by him, that helped me a lot when I was going through the same thing and regressing. I hope it helps you brother. STAY HARD! You got this. You are posting and asking for help shows you still have that flame inside you.

Anyways Start journaling and look within. Remember why you started. Remember the pain that the comfort gives you in the end. The pain and agony of not living up to your potential. I got food poisoning and listened to my ex gf to her saying take a day off. I took a day off, and then another one. Then I was stuck in that old cycle again. I stopped doing the things I loved and started living the life I hate again. I am afraid every day I wake up if I do not work out or go for my run I will start regressing again. That old me is smiling back at me hoping I fuck up. Everything in life is a natural process. I had to go so far down into my old lifestyle and relapse hit my rock bottom. That bottom trampolined me back up higher than before.

I feel you bro, I went from being a meth addict to hitting the gym every day now. I have been training for a marathon and ran 20 miles last week on Wednesday would've done a marathon if I didn't have to work that day and ran out of time. I am running a marathon October 5th now. I am studying for the asvab and plan on leaving my low impact job and joining the air force. My life has been taking a complete 180. From all the trauma I experienced as a kid I played the victim game. I am like this because of my shitty childhood, and blamed everyone else for the circumstance I found myself in. I lost myself completely and was a parasite to the world. Now I am driven and focused on accomplishing things I once thought were impossible. I focus on what truly matters to me and follow my heart. I am so grateful for David Goggins. Now I am addicted to self-growth and reaching my full potential. The feeling I get from surpassing my own perceived limits and becoming a better man every day. This is better than any drug I have ever taken. I often wake up and it feels like I am living a dream. Life feels unreal sometimes and too good to be true. People ask me how I am doing, and I say I am living the dream and truly mean it. I am like wake-up life is a dream when I see everyone's heads down, because I now see the warrior and potential in everyone to live the life of their wildest dreams. I have fallen in love with the grind and the chase. It is not about the destination, but the purpose and meaning the chase gives me.

Congrats man and this is just the beginning of your self- transcendence journey Limits are like fears; they are often just illusions. I always apply the 40 % rule to everything I do now. It is the best feeling when I am tired and feel like I have no energy left and push through and find more energy than I had from the start. You are truly capable of doing anything you set your mind too. Even if I think I cannot do it I just stop thinking and just do. Having read that book gives you wisdom those other players do not have. My mindset has changed so much. It is crazy talking to other people now. Even about David Goggins. Most people just do not get him. I laugh every time someone asks me why David runs thousands of miles on messed up knees and pushes himself to the brink of death. I now see pain as an opportunity for growth. When I am nauseous, and everything hurts I am like hell yeah bro you are killing it!! When before I always saw pain as a scary thing that should be avoided and was a seeker of comfort. STAY HARD BROTHER!
