Men supporting men needs to happen more.

It’s ok, the manosphere is a toxic place. Break the mantra.

    Man I feel this, I’ve dropped 4 whole belt notches over the last 6 months and it’s crazy to look down at myself and not see my belly sticking out and feeling my moobs shrink noticeably 😂

    I was never fat but I was definitely an unhealthy weight and it severely affected my confidence. I’m 5 10 and I probably dropped from 220-230ish to around 190-200ish. Idk exactly cause I’ve been scared of those asshole weight scales for a while now 😂

    All I did was stop ordering take out every week, and stop making huge meals an hour or two before bed and replaced it with eggs and toast 3-4 hours before bed and I’ve been losing a ton of weight. Also replaced pop and juice with water as well. Literally no other change in my otherwise unhealthy lifestyle.

    Tbh if I wasn’t basically a functional alcoholic I would probably be in great shape if I wasn’t drinking so much liquid calories. But my life sucks and it’s how I cope. I make it to work on time and put in a good shift, but I still have a lot I can improve on.

      One step at a time. Trying to throw out all of your bad habits at the same time is probably not going to work.

      Hey man, good for you. It’s all a journey. You know what you need to do next (booze) to keep improving. There are healthier ways to cope. No shame, I like a good drink now and then, but if you can cut out all that other stuff, booze will come easy.

      Not downplaying the challenge, here, but trying to encourage you.
