In need of success stories? Anonymous
Sup /fit. I know this is a little off-topic from what we usually talk about on this board, but bear with me.

So I went through some stuff with my ex-girlfriend last night, and I was emotionally distraught. Yes, yes, baw, baw, baw, I know. My question to /fit/ is this: have any of you been through something like this, decided to start working out, then have yourself completely changed? I'd like to hear some motivational, in-depth success stories so that it may motivate me to start bodybuilding seriously.

At first I was always tired and bored.
Now that I started exercising I'm more energetic and whenever I'm bored I do pushups or squeeze my hand exercisers.

Also I'm healthier.

OP here. That's great and all, but I was thinking along the lines of having a bitch fuck with you then take the first step to no-man's land dubbed bodybuilding, then totally come out of it months later shredded as fuck balls.

Actually I didn't knock him out.
I grabbed his arm and tossed him over my shoulder, and he fell on floor like a sack of potatoes.

I also had 3 friends and a girl watching.

Yes, pretty much exactly what you described. Except I was in awesome shape before we started dating, over the course of about 2.5 years I got fat. When she left me, I just hit the gym because it alleviated the depression. That was back in January, and I'm pretty solid again.

I was with her for 8 months, then I gained so much weight. It's so ridiculous, I was 135 with an athletic build, then a bitch comes in and ruins me to 170. I admit that it's all my fault for letting myself go (she was my first girlfriend, so I had no worries), but it's so crazy as to how carefree people can get.

Exercise has actually helped me cope with alot. I think people underestimate the stress relieving aspect of it, instead thinking it's all to do with vanity and self-image.

yep, the more exercise you get the happier you will be in a lot of respects.

Yep and if your girlfriend was living with you then it's the perfect time for change. You'll have the free time to do it now, more control over your diet, something to get your mind off of her, etc.

i never cared about my body image until i got fucked over by a girl many years ago now. I started looking at myself in the mirror, noticed I had some rather epic shoulders and that i'd look good with some muscle.

I only weighted 8 stone and had some serious work to do so I stared to read. I read about anatomy, bodybuilding, exercise and generally anything credible i could get my hands on before i started to condition my body.

I conditioned it at first so that it could take the pounding of heavy lifting, and then i got onto the muscle building proper.

Long story short i went from 112lbs to 160lbs and it took my couple of years, once you he started it's hard to stop, and i have inspired many people to build muscle or to get fit (i'm an avid cyclist too) and on more than 1 occasion i've had girls sat "holy fuck" when i have taken my top off. but truth be known i hate my body now more than I ever used to and long for the days when i didnt care

OP here.

I became self-concious after she screwed me over as well. I remember the days before I was actually interested in women (which was all of my high school year, I'm in college now, junior year). I had a normal weight and my ideal physique was awesome. Actually now that I think back at it, even if I had known I had a half-decent body, I wouldn't have cared much.

Kinda wish I never met her so I can live carelessly again, but that would eventually lead to being a fatty. =(

When I went through gf drama few months ago I took that anger to the gym. Gave me a great boost (with proper form) and all my lifts went up way more than I thought they normally would. note: I was bulking at the time.

Many years ago I got completely fawked over by a gf. Cheated on me w/ friends, etc, etc. blah blah. Since the bitch was very shallow I decided I would do everything in life better than her. Look better, feel better, be more successful. Saw her at our 10yr HS reunion and I was very happy to see that I was clearly the winnar. She is now a fat shit w/ 2 kids and a P.O.S. career. It was amazing to see her staring at me and how much I've changed. It was so very up-lifting to lol @ her and walk away.

Sup OP.

Ok, so, early last year, i got ditched by the girl i <3'd. (bawwww ect.) Anyway, part of the reason was (no doubt) the fact that i was a huge fatass (277lbs).

So anyway, my life went to shit, and i had the depresshuns.

So i started working the fuck out! It releases endorphins which help depression, it made me feel good for doing something positive, but the whole time my motivation was to get buff'd so i could rub it in her stupid face.

Basically all i needed to to was think about her, and i'd get my RAAAAAGE on, and be able to bust out insane sets.

I realise now that this was shitty negative motivation, but whatever. It fucking worked.

Fast forward a year and i'm down to 180lbs, with a crapton of muscle packed on, and still getting bigger and leaner everyday.

And i lol'd when i realised her skinny, long-haired fuck of a new boyfriend's entire body is about the size of my left forearm.

TL;DR: RAAAAAGE!!! Run, lift weights, hit a heavy bag, whatever. Just fucking rage.

i liked my best girl friend who in turn liked me at the same time but we didnt no. i end up getting another gf who was a slut whore and then my best friend ends up hating me for it but then she becomes my friend again and she tells me she liked me right after my slut whore girl friend cheated on me. i was angry and sad (weeboo, baw) so i fucking hit the gym because she liked hot bodies. this was when i was in 11th grade. about to finish up second year of college and im still crazy about her but i dont think she is about me. i have nothing left so i just keep on pushing it and try to find other oppertunities but always stay open for her

I live in Yurop, in a country where there is conscription, and one of the ways to avoid getting drafted is to go to a university. So I did it. I wanted to go to one anyway, but not this year and not this particular major. I just wanted to have one gap year, so I can take a rest after anything that happened in my life and think things over. What I want to do in my life etc.
And there I met this girl. I felt in love almost immediately, she was very beautiful very intelligent - man, you could say she was perfect. I could talk to her about everything, and just by looking at her I felt like Arnold getting a pump.
We became friends very quickly, but I never wanted to be only friend to her, I wanted to be someone special. But she already had a BF. She wasn't satisfied with her relationship with him, and everything looked like it's going to end sooner or later. I thought that I might as well wait - I had nothing to lose, and I could've won everything. Her BF was playing basketball, and that made me hit the gym, so I could be even more athletic than him. I got the brains, and I wanted to have brawns also. I did it only so she would look at me not only as a friend, but also as a man.
And they finally broke up. When I told her, that I'm in love with her, and I want to be with her, and all that stuff, she said, she wants me as her best friend, not as her boyfriend. Man, I felt like shit after that. When she declined me, I never saw her again, never went to the classes any more. Changed my phone number, mail and messenger so I would not have anything to do with her. After one and half a month of serious depression I had nothing to do. So right now, I just train, so next time I met someone like her, I will be already in my ideal shape and state.
But, thinking about her, makes me go sad. And when I'm sad, when I think that I was someone unworthy of her, I just feel like shit and don't want to eat or train.

Long story short, you always have something to lose. It's either your precious time, mental health or motivation.

I will be laughing and pitying myself in a few years, that I wasted time for some girl. Girls that I've been in love before, mean nothing to me right now, and so will be she in few years. I'm concious about that. They pass by and we live only for ourselves, not for girls. That romantic bullshit is what leads us to depression and problems.

That's all I got to say. I know it's hard, but just screw them.

A while ago I got with a girl and pretty much stopped doing anything but smoking,snorting xanax and fucking the shit out of her.I had completely died now that I look at it,before I got with her I weighed 209 at 4% body fat,after we had broke up I was at 192 at 14% body fat.So what did I do?I started working my ass off,eating great meals I made from scratch,stole a bike and swam every morning and night.After working at it for a good 3 months I've managed to get up to 195 with 7% body fat,I'm also fucking her just as friends again.

tl;dr work hard and get to fuck chicks that broke up with you and be sexy as hell at the same time.

A tubby Asian friend of mine who had a crush on his prom date said any time he starts thinking about her or other girls he's been unsuccessful with he goes lifting. Turning his misery into motivation.
He started doing this after Christmas break and over spring break he looked stronger and thinner. Maybe he'll be ripped when I see him in July.

Oh wow, a sack of fucking potatoes? Tell me, when was the last time you flung a sack of potatoes over your shoulder, fucktard? Do you take pride in ruining perfectly good vegetables? I hope you choke on your ego, douchebag, and if I EVER find out where you live, I'll take a sack of potatoes, put each and every one of the potatoes in your ass, and fling you over my shoulder out of a b-52 during a carpet bombing.

I'm pretty introverted, been that way for 20 years. Working out hasn't got me any more bitches than usual (not a virgin fortunately), but it gives me more energy, and it's pretty fun.

Keeping track of your progress is great, seeing progress is even better. I've also met a lot of people at my gym, which is good since I usually don't meet anyone while I sit on my ass reading 4chan and playing videogames.

wasnt so much as a new years resolution as a complete shift in life choices. From the beginning of this last year to present ive been undergoing very positive changes. I realized i want to reshape my body to a tank after being a pudgy shit since i was 5. you start monitoring your diet and daily routine more to see what can be ammended and improved. recently that's bled over into my academics, still in college and im realizing that all my dreams of 'rockstardom' can be better spent on something that's more realistic, will probably be aiming for something industrial in hollywood like animation or whatnot.

the thing is it's helped me rethink my life a bit. I'm seeing more progress than i thought possible a few months back and it makes you realize that w/enough determination and diligence you can really achieve whatever the fuck you want and just kick ass and take names.

The sad thing here is, she doesn't really care if you're buff, she just wanted a skinny boy. You were just a fat fuck and she probably doesn't care anymore.

How exactly did the tons of drugs and [seemingly] less eating make your body fat go up SO much even though you only lost like 10 pounds [I would actually have expected you to lose more than that, which makes it even more confusing]

I'm in the middle of it right now actually. I got my ex pregnant at 22 and she fucking aborted while my family was fucking ecstatic about finally getting grandkids. She most likely did it because I'm a lazy fat fuck that couldn't provide for her and a kid. Two months later I'm down from 245 to 215 working out and counting calories like its my religion.
