To start off, I just 29 eight days ago and pretty feel like shit once I started reevaluating myself. I came off a 3 year relationship 8 months ago which I am not going to lie still stings. I haven't finished my bachelors degree and to be honest what I am going for I don't really want to do(exercise science), I have a dead end job that funny enough my ex help get me, live with my parents, don't have much money saved and to top it off, I have no motivation for anything really.

I guess the only thing going for me is that I still workout, I am not fat slob but at the same time I don't really stand out either. I have a side gig which I make decent money but not sure for long it will last. My confidence level is pretty low considering where I am at in my life, I can blame this on myself. I feel pretty lost really and even though I have friends who give me good advice such as "Have a plan, stay consistent, etc" I never stick to it or the urgency isn't there. Not sure if I've given up or not but it totally feels like I am lost.

Currently my days look like this (Work 9-5, side gig, home, gym and sleep) I only go to the gym 3 times a week. I was talking to this co worker who I thought I had a shot with but with it didn't happen, I think I was too pussy to go all in because she works with me and was afraid of the consequences if I failed. Not much more I can say really.

You're 29 and not even in your prime yet. You don't have time to be making posts like these on message boards. Shut up and win.

You have been here since at least a year and a half and probably lurked before that.

This should have been a log thread where you just state actions you've taken.

First thing in most people's way like you are bad habits you need to make a list of these and quit them cold turkey one by one.

It won't be comfortable at all. The sheer boredom of not being able to give into bad habits will push you to do something.

Sorry about that.

Thanks by the way, my problems always been having consistency and planning. I tried to do too many things at once and because I felt like too much I end up slowly going back to my old ways.

List 3 things you are to do tomorrow that will work you towards getting you out of your parents house and report back tomorrow night when you have done them. Even if they take 10 minutes each or less. Even if one is clipping coupons to save some cash.

If you can't do that then there is no hope, and I would vote for Bernie that is your only way out.

[Raccoonpaw]

Will do. As for the Bernie thing, I can't, already have my Trump hat. I got cursed at by a few Dominicans.

You got any other strengths you can try and leverage? Anything you used to enjoy or be good at in prior years?

[Raccoonpaw]

Poker really but I know that's not really much. I read here and there. I was boxing for a bit but then stopped. I used to play video games a lot but then stopped since it's a waste of time.

This was my biggest issue right here. You have to do ONE thing at a time. See it to completion. Then move on to the next thing.

get some flatbread next time. You might like it. And i believe it's less calorie dense than buns.
