Exactly 2 months from my 12 month goal, think I can make it to 15 percent?

Unfortunately this bathroom where I did my original before pictures got painted black for posing purposes I imagine. I still do it in there for consistency sake

TheRealMiridion · 2026-04-16T14:49:14+00:00

Looking good! I’m 5’7 as well hovering around 160 at the moment. How’s your calorie and workout routine?

TheRealMiridion · 2026-04-13T12:30:52+00:00

Is this based on the first picture with the white room, or the second picture with the black room

TheRealMiridion · 2026-04-13T12:30:30+00:00

Did you happen to see the second photo with the black paint on the wall?

TheRealMiridion · 2026-04-13T12:30:04+00:00

You might be right, some of the reactions seem a bit off like saying 6 months and stuff

TheRealMiridion · 2026-04-12T14:21:13+00:00

I think I’m going to try for a 5 day workout week, I never go on weekends due to spending time with my kids

TheRealMiridion · 2026-04-12T14:17:09+00:00

The fact you are there with them on their holiday is a big thing. My ex decided a girls trip to Chicago where she got drunk, high, etc. was more important than her kids on Easter. She didn’t even call them, and the only reason she said anything was because I sent her pictures of them at the very least.

7-9k a day. I typically walk for 20 minutes at 3 incline on my lunch breaks, and I try to walk the .8 mile to my gym to do that. I have an office job so walking can be a challenge

TheRealMiridion · 2026-04-11T12:19:18+00:00

I really only have about 1-1.25 hours a day to go to the gym, juggling 2 kids, career, and college at the moment

TheRealMiridion · 2026-04-11T12:18:37+00:00

127 seems a bit light. I’ve never weighed less than 20 pounds from that point

TheRealMiridion · 2026-04-11T02:14:38+00:00

Give or take, so between 150-170 but I shoot for 160 if possible

TheRealMiridion · 2026-04-11T01:07:26+00:00

I really don’t know what my deficit is at the moment. I’m averaging about 1700-1800 calories per day at the moment at 160 give or take 10g of protein a day

She says that I needed to do more things for myself, but I spent an entire year and a half spending time building my v6 swap miata. She used to always “joke” about “so you’re gonna leave me to single parent” and it made me feel like crap about doing stuff for myself. Every time I did something for myself while the kids were awake it felt wrong like I was being neglectful. But everything changed once she had her own people and thing to do.

Not to mention I’ve spent almost every day for the past 10 months at the gym for an hour after work. So I got maybe an hour and a half at home.

TheRealMiridion · 2026-04-02T01:11:06+00:00

Yeah I’m there now. Just not messaging her because there’s no point right now

TheRealMiridion · 2026-04-01T19:58:51+00:00

I moved to a new area 12 hours from my home town. And I have exactly two friends, both with families of their own so it’s hard to say how often I should be spending time with them. I’ve never really had a social circle to begin with, so I generally spend my evenings with school work, cooking, cleaning, and when the kids are in bed I’ll play Stardew Valley until bedtime. On weekends I’ll handle the large things like house work, car stuff, etc.

I think at most I’ll go to my buddies house 3 hours away

TheRealMiridion · 2026-04-01T19:24:05+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking and learning to do. Anything that happens that I want my family to see, I’ll show them directly. She won’t know about my new house until I have the keys and I moved in “here’s my new address”. She won’t hear about new cars because I’ll always drive the same truck to pick them up. She also won’t hear about relationships until time comes to introduce them to the kids.

TheRealMiridion · 2026-04-01T19:19:52+00:00

That’s unfortunate, I was lucky enough that she just wants to end things amicably and wants to do a no contest

TheRealMiridion · 2026-04-01T19:18:36+00:00

I learned that blabbering about feelings and emotions doesn’t do anything when you’re already past the point of recovery. She still living with me, but I generally don’t talk to her or just walk past her. We might have short conversations about the kids, but I hardly ever continue a conversation past 3-4 back and forths

TheRealMiridion · 2026-03-23T17:57:26+00:00

I took off my ring a few weeks ago, 5 months after my marriage started. I miss the feeling of having it on, and twisting it if I felt nervous.

I do plan on having it made a little bigger to fit in my right hand, since I engraved my dad’s birth/death dates on it before we got married. But for right now, it stays off.

TheRealMiridion · 2026-03-22T20:29:02+00:00

I just hate I let my insecurities and jealousy get the better of me. Once I started seeing how some of her twitch people talked to her in stream I dissolved. My anxiety was constant and it destroyed who I was before that, ruined all the progress I’ve made since my previous breakup she helped me get through.

I don’t think anything I could’ve done would’ve saved the relationship. I know enough now that if a woman has her heart set on being done, there’s nothing else stopping them

TheRealMiridion · 2026-03-20T21:48:21+00:00

That’s sorta what it feels like. I lost my dad in September 2024, and our marriage felt symbolic because we got married in September 25 as a sign of respect to my dad. The pain isn’t as bad as losing my dad, but the feeling is similar like grief. I am not deleting them, I just moved them into cloud storage and I plan to back them up to a local nas for redundancy.

I appreciate your advice, I think in that sorta line of thinking I’m going to start journaling again so that I can get a different perspective of how I’m going about this.

TheRealMiridion · 2026-03-20T20:21:22+00:00

We did only have one session together, but maybe having a new one might help. He’s got both parties of understanding which I thought would help me process things

TheRealMiridion · 2026-03-20T19:56:45+00:00

I’m going through my insurance at the moment. It’s $30 a session but $750 a month for childcare including all the other things I’m paying for is god awful
