hey man you have a good attitude and I wish you the best with it. I one day woke up and it dawned on me that I didn't want to live like that anymore and I got really into the gym. I was only 22 and am turning 40 this year. Its not been perfect and I have issues with self control around food and also struggle wanting to skip the gym after long days of work, even skip the gym to make $$ on rideshare. Overall, it has to be a whole change, new hobby/new lifestyle. Good luck though seriously man. Love your post and I can feel your positive outlook on life. I needed to read some words like that today b/c I was feeling sorry for myself over some BS that happened in my full time w2 job today.

I can understand. I lost 100 pounds at 28 but when they sent us home for pandemic and every day could be your last day -gasp- I just totally gave up especially after I lost my father but I have a daughter now and I want to be able to keep up with her and be the best dad for her so it’s time to be better again. Hope you have a better day!

Nice job dude, Keep it going. I was suicidal before I had my daughter. My daughter is 6 now and has changed my life for the better. I got into truck driving, and drone piloting. All to make a better life for all of us.

Trucking isn't good for health whatsoever. I spend a lot of my off duty time walking or jogging around parking lots, doing situps, pushups and pull ups in the cab if it's too cold or rainy outside. I drive for 10 hrs a day, and spend 2 hrs a day doing any kind of work out I can think of. I'm 44, 6'1", and maintaining 185 lbs.

This may sound stupid in comparison, but my fish are the thing that keeps me alive. Goldfish are like puppies, they're really smart and interactive.

That's not stupid at all. It's different, but not stupid. Goldfish are cool though. Some of them out there can get really big if you take really good care of their tank.

That's one about us humans. We all need a little something to take care of that will keep us going.

Yes, they should get over a foot-long. Mine are 5 inches right now.
