Fitness, health, and mental health. David !lOZq5TTQ.2
/fit/ I need advice. I am tired of feeling inadequate. I am tired of feeling weak. I am tired of feeling like a BAD person. I'm the kind of person that is chronically skeptical, and tries to be rational. As a result of this I have ended up questioning myself more than the average person. This has lead me to tear down my self esteem, stifling myself. I am not a very confident person. I have trouble with my sleep as well.

One thing that I have been working at to change my self-image is to build strength, and gain weight (I am a skinny fuck and if I'm not constantly thinking of GAINING weight I end up losing weight. I don't think I have a fast metabolism. I just don't eat enough. Period. I am not going to resort to excuses.) What can I do to improve myself? How can I be a stronger person? How can I improve my sleeping habits (they are shit and shift around the clock). I will obey you. I will do whatever you say as long as you are giving me constructive advice (that's why I question myself, I don't want to lie to myself with everyones stupid self serving bias). I won't give you entertainment. I am ready to change into a better person physically, mentally, and in my behavior. I want to have a transformation. I am tired of being weak, and feeling useless. I am tired of feeling like friends and family are judging me (it is probably just me judging myself). I want to prove to myself, and to them that I am more then they think. How can I have more courage? How can I measure up?

I am 5'9". 117 lbs (slowly gaining weight). I do a variety of pushups, bicycle crunches, and supermans. I've been resting from an injury after hiking up to a suspension bridge so I don't do any lowerbody exercise at the moment. But when I wasn't recovering I was going for regular walks, hiking, and doing squats, and lunges. I will add anything you tell me to. I will start a journal tracking my calorie intake, exercises, and sleeping habits (would a paper and pen journal be best?). I will do whatever you say to improve my self image.
No I won't kill myself.

tl;dr I FEEL INADEQUATE, WEAK, AND LACK CONFIDENCE. HOW CAN I CHANGE THIS? I WILL OBEY. Any questions?

Eat oats
Eat lean meat
Eat nuts and some other legumes
Eat veggies
Eat a bit of fruit
Drink water

Eat 4-7 times a day

This should be what at least 80% of your diet consists of.

Start doing deadlifts.
Start doing military presses.

Don't forget to talk to yourself.
Praise yourself.
YOU CAN DO IT
YOU MIGHT THINK YOU ARE LIFTING PEANUTS, BUT YOU ARE REALLY LIFTING LIGHTWEIGHT BABIES
Positive self-reinforcement really does work.

When you look in the mirror and see what is bad about yourself, don't dwell on it. Realize you can change it. Think about how you can improve yourself.

You've already taken the first step, you just have to keep your eyes on the prize and keep motivated.
Give yourself a list of short, medium and longterm goals.

Also, make sure your goals are realistic.
This is a process, you won't wake up one day and be completely different. Keep that in mind, but also remember that you are keeping on the path to bettering yourself.

When you considering doing or not doing something, think about it.
Will this help me achieve my goals, or will it make it harder?

Good luck.

I'm a bit like you Op, what helps to keep the demons of self-doubt in check is to remember moments of victory or important achievements, also to keep in mind, that you cannot change the past but the future. Never Surrender, never accept defeat, be strong, be nice to the people that matter, fuck everyone else...

>be nice to the people that matter, fuck everyone else...
I always have trouble with that, even when I try to think differently. When I step into a room I automatically try to see how everyone is feeling. I automatically think the best of everyone. I automatically want to be polite and nice to them. Go out of my way to be helpful or friendly. I TRY to be more self-centered, but this habit has been oh so ingrained into me. I have been doing this for years, and it has put me in situations where I have been mildly taken advantage of. I can't HELP but come up with an excuse for someone else to make them look better in my mind, I just can't think that someone else is actually a malicious person (murderers, and rapists on the other hand...)

why not be nice to everyone? why 'fuck' anyone?

this mentality is so upsetting. WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE KIND TO PEOPLE? why is it so hard?

keep doing it, people like you will make this world a better place. not to sound super fucking gay or anything, but no one is less than anyone else, not even murderers or rapists. at our cores we are all the exact same, we are all people. some of us just listen to that voice in our head more and think there is no other choice but to do what it says. intolerance and treating criminals like piece of shit animals only perpetuates the hate that keeps flowing through our society and causes people to do bad things.

or i could be wrong and we are all fucking doomed to hate each other for the rest of eternity. but i hope not. people need to pay attention and stop being so mean :\
