Me versus the treadmill six days a week.My older cousin deals with that shyt at family parties with weight gain jokes
He was tired of hearing of the jokes and started running and recently bought a treadmill.

This meal prep life is a hassle. Trying to get down from 225 to 200-195 by june. Been lifting for 2 yrs and I can tell with an extra 30lbs dropped and a 6 month long bulk i'll be the shyt.

Man, I can't even stress how beneficial weightlifting has been for me. I'm truly addicted to this shyt -- I start getting all salty if I miss a day, or even if I just have to wait an extra day to go to the gym. DONT FUKK WITH MY ROUTINE
To start, I've had to damn near lift by myself since I started hitting the gym. So there was a lot to overcome in the first year. Reading about all these routines, trying to get the forms down, and then figuring out which workouts were actually beneficial?
Developing a personal routine unique to your experiences AND seeing gains?
That initial fear of lifting by yourself, no spot, hoping you don't drop the weights or snap your shyt.
Comfortably picking up weights because you're confident in yourself.
Being weak or flabby at first.
Feeling great as your health improves and you begin noticing those gains in the mirror.
Not to mention the girls start shooting more smiles your way. And its mostly other people who notice your change before you. I'm out here thinking I'm still the smallest dude in the gym, but other people telling me otherwise.
Its great brehs. I'm just glad I fell in love with it as much as I did, cause I know its a chore for other people. I legit just can't miss days, that exhaustion after working out is the only way I fall asleep feeling good any more.

I been on my diet and excercise shyt for a minute now.. traded fast food lunches for homemade baked chicken/brown rice/black beans.. etc.. lift 5 days a week.
I cut out soda but ill come back to it once a month or so.. i had a can of pepsi last month and that shyt hit me like drugs.. staying away from all that shyt makes it so much better on the rare times you do decide to enjoy them.

For me it's eating enough calories. I can be perfectly fine only eating about 500 to 1,000 calories a day. I know it's not healthy but its hard to eat when you're not hungry
Yep.
Its harder for me to stop working out then it is to motivate myself to workout.
Its just part of my day at this point, like eating or going to work

Yup. An extreme amount of discipline is required when it comes to eating absolutely clean. It's hard.

You don't know how to use paint?
I've been working out for years. If people want to burn fat, just limit the portions and eat between 2-8 PM (preferably eating dinner at around 5-6 PM), then don't eat until 2 PM the next day, whilst working out right when you wake up in the morning. There's other stuff to it, but I ain't on here giving advice like that.
I remember weighing 210lbs, and after 3 months dropped down to 155lbs. Built up a lot of lean muscle via strength training over the next 3 years, and went up to 180. Was a bit more muscular than I wanted to be, so I stopped weight training, now I am 165lbs and I maintain this weight through my vegetarian diet, bodyweight exercises, and running/rock-climbing, camping, basically outdoor activities.
I don't really go to gyms to weight lift anymore. That is boring and kind of backwards in my opinion. But to each his own.
Been eating vegetarian 3 days a week. Never felt better

On the flip side, develop bad habits (which most Americans do as children through no fault of their own but mostly how this country is set up for the profit) and you'll spend a lifetime trying to break them if your mental ain't strong.
To piggy back of your post, how long do you think it takes to break a habit?

cold turkey is the best way, you just have to fool your brain to do it.
i quit cold turkey on smoking cigarettes at nineteen.
by having a pack but no lighter and not asking or seeking a lighter or matches.
to then it just became just leave the pack at home and eventually i had a drawer full of dunhills and clove djarum imports. that eventually just went to waste.
i quit drinking just cold turkey.
with working out i stay motivated by a penalty system and mentally bytching my self out.
if i miss and staying conscious of not hitting the wall.
