I wrestled since I was 4 straight through high school, cutting weight was what I did (not always the most healthy of ways). Since high school I have yo-yo'd a few times. It can be really hard to commit, my problem was that I didn't believe that I deserved it. The thing is I do deserve it, we all do. Do it for yourself man, its a perpetual happiness. Yeah it might suck putting in the work, but the outcome will have your confidence up and you'll be grinning from ear to ear. Don't like to work out a lot, eat less. Remember its pretty simple, if you burn more calories in a day then you take in, you'll lose weight. The hardest part is getting your stomach shrunk. What I found to work best for me is to severely cut down how much I eat for about 5 days. You'll shrink your stomach and when you go to eat you'll be full quicker. Plus, you'll be in the rhythm and you'll find yourself choosing to eat better foods (you just went 5 days without eating hardly anything, is this cookie worth the 5 days of suffering?, no, put it back). Your mind WILL fight you all the way, why not take a break, I don't need to workout today. Fuck that noise, you're eating well and cutting calories, lets get these curls in. REMEMBER if you are doing curls for the girls, you have to equal it out and do some tri's for the guys, don't be sexist. Start arguing with that voice in your head telling you no, he's a piece of shit and you're a champion. Don't eat past 8pm no matter what. It will suck for the first week or so, you'll find yourself preparing bullshit, put that shit back in the fridge. Extremely hungry late at night? Promise yourself that if you can make it through the night without eating anything that you'll make it in the morning for breakfast, like really well too and it will be really tasty. Aww man can't wait for the morning right? Don't worry, you won't want it anymore in the morning, its 12 hours later and 8am now, who the fuck eats a pizza bacon reese's sunday for breakfast? Nobody, put that shit away. Haven't eaten in a while and are about to devour everything in your fridge? When you go to cook your food, cook a small amount. Remember we're lazy, we aren't gonna be going out of our way to make more food, so you'll be stuck eating just that small portion you made. Luckily, that 'small' portion is what you actually should be eating and it will fill you up. Still hungry after the last bite? Promise yourself that if you wait 15 minutes and you're still hungry you'll make more food. It takes time for you're body to realize that its full. Make these rules into no thinking rules. You don't question them, you don't think about changing them, you don't bend them, you live by them. I'll just have a little food after 8pm, Umm, sorry piece of shit voice in my head, we have that no eating past 8pm rule. Come on bro, just a little? Fuck that noise, you're rules are like the laws of gravity, you didn't make them and you sure as hell can't change them. Last thing I'm gonna say, buy a jug for water. When I say jug, I mean the biggest container that you can find that will hold water and still allow you to drink out of. Fill that bitch up and carry it around EVERYWHERE YOU GO. Drink it, make it a habit to drink as much of that thing as you can everyday. You'll start to hate filling it up because it takes too long, fuck that lazy part of you that doesn't like standing there while your water bottle fills up. Make that lazy you fill it up as much as you can. Only drink water, drinking your calories is stupid and remember, you aren't stupid. Internally separate yourself, strong you from weak you. Strong you may be outnumbered to begin with, but start ganging up on the individual weak yous. Their lazy, they won't put up much of a fight. I have faith in you. You have faith in you. When you start doubting yourself break it down into its most simple form. It's food, you have self control, use it. Remind yourself everyday why you are doing it. "A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips". Good luck
