« on: September 15, 2017, 07:28:49 am »How organized are you? Do you have a planner for keeping track of your daily tasks? Just making planner use consistent will help a lot. Planning things you want to accomplish the day before definitely, having a weekly plan/goals is also good. Start with easy plans, work up to more complex ones. Some days you will fuck up and not do what you planned but keep at it.
Have us hold you accountable. I've noticed you stopped posting calorie counts. Look at maxent's log and the way he always tracks his diet. If you want I can downvote you every time you fuck up with your diet. But keeping track of it is the most important thing, the second I stopped counting calories, was when my cut started to drop off.
chill bro.. at the time of this post, he's 3 votes from going positive

I don't know how much crappy food you eat, but try not to buy it in the first place. Just having it there means you have to go through a willpower challenge every time you see it, whereas not buying it at all means you only have to have 1 willpower challenge.
Work down to less and less sugary foods - having only a few carefully selected emergency snacks - mine are plain yogurt with fruit, milk, beef jerky, PB and pistachios (last 2 are a little high in cals tho). I know you try to eat pretty healthy but just general guidelines.
PLAN OUT IF fasts until 6-8 hours after sleep. PLAN OUT your meals for the day/week ahead of time. Have a plan to avoid stress eating - cold showers are great, going for a 30 minute walk focusing on positive thoughts. Get your mind off things.
Great advice in this post.
The trick for me is to approach it slowly. If I do anything drastic, I can rebound hard & binge out. It feels like a "slow shrinking of the stomach" & "battling the withdrawals of removing junk food" for me. It's hard at first, but eventually it becomes second nature, and all cravings for junk/sugary foods/heavy cheat foods disappear. I mean, I don't even enjoy fiberless coconut water anymore, it's just too sugary for me right now - I need something with fiber etc.
Also one way to think of it, "politically", is to just look at junk/processed foods/sugary drinks/overeating as a weapon of the "NWO", to shift people into a sedentary lifestyle where they require more calories, more medications, more doctor visits, and are less able to resist. I'm just playing around & I think it's just supply & demand, but I have thought about it in those terms before as a sci-fi theme. There are many influences out there in life which derail us from achieving our true physical human potential. What if most elite athletes were just, "less infected by sedentary influences" than the rest of us? I've also thought of non-essential fat (edit: "sport" (activity) specific) as rings on a "lazy tree" - if you look at most Americans for example, they just keep getting fatter as they get older, it's as if each pound of fat is some kind of ring on a tree that says "ah this was a great year, did basically nothing", "then the year after it was even better, did less". For me, that would have been 2012 through 2015 - but now those rings are gone
I mention this because I recall seeing you make (on a rare occasion) posts about "the system" and such. For people who think along these lines, thinking about negative external influences as forms of control/suppression created by "the system" seems like a good motivator to defeat them.pC!
perhaps the greatest boxer of all time though..

5 min from gym. Managed to pull out 1 rep which was good, only 1 more pin to go to get a full squat at 120kg using pins. the half squat, I was unsure if I was going deep enough so I place pins at around half and squatted down and found out that I could squat a little deeper so I removed the pins. Calf Raises always puts stress on my back, not stress on the joint but just by carrying it while standing and doing the calf raises my back hurts a little and then I rack the bar, that hurts my back more than the RDL's lol, which 120kg is heavy so will take my time on that. But Half squats progressing nicely adding 10kg on to the bar every 1-2 weeks.
