I'm not skinny. But I'm getting there. I was like 260 last year with way less muscle

Damn

hard work

@shadowlessnexus that's great man good job

Muscle weighs much more than fat. Most people can't believe I'm 225.

true that

@shadowlessnexus how often do you go?

true true

@JDB entirely put it towards work. Gym. Learning. Ect

Only use it while working on something

harder to swim because with muscles you sink more 😄

Lmao

Jesus, @shadowlessnexus Were you obese for a while?

Life jacket gang

Also 2 to 3 times a week right now

nice

Yeah, the gym would be the one external motivation for me. I'm legit obsessed.

Yes for a short while I was. Note that I was on pills that made me go from like 180 to 260.

thats Fucked UP

They warned me I'd be hungry af. I was not ready for how hungry I was

Ur body remembers that w8, so ur biology will always want to store fat

Yea. But having muscle helps. I'm alot less fat now.

@MufflePuff my family say that obsession is always bad - i don't agree with them however most people see obsession to something, even something that is a great habit, as bad - what are your thoughts on obsessive behaviour? i think that you NEED to be obsessed in a field to ensure you succeed

agreed

It's about..... controlled obsession. Passion

There's a difference

never heard of that term before

Usually people that shame your passions can't understand because they have none.

I made it up.

controlled obsession = passion . yeah and true

In general, people are shit. But it's not their fault.

my mum is only driven by money

has no idea why she got into tax

30 years in a career

and still doesn't know why she started it

Welp. Pays the bills.

They say make a career out of what you're good at, not what you love.

.... that's what they say.

yeah - but i don't understand how you can go through a career and never ask yourself the question 'why am i doing all of this?"

People have different tolerances for why they do things. Like some people would say what's she's doing is wasting her time. Other people would say do what helps you survive.

Many people say that they make their decisions to "take care of their family".
