OYS #36 It's been a while. Fitness: Lost some weight over vacation but fucked up my back from the move and can't lift atm or someday walk around much. Started seeing a chiropractor. Still doing Krav but It's painful and I can only go about half speed. Work: Things have finally slowed down and I'm now in the planning stages for on the next large projects coming up. Last large project went well and I ended up with a nice raise and they doubled my stock options all while the company is actively try…

A few months ago I would have thought I didn't deserve this and honestly I'm still a little surprised I'm matching with chicks in their 30s. But this was more about being in uncharted waters, ie never having tied up a woman or having one call me sir. But I figure this is a good opportunity to fake it till I make it.

Nah It seemed like the right thing to do because I want to get an uncontested divorce, and she was threatening to not do mediation because I was "sticking my D in some chic". It was all about the end goal.

Short Term - Continue to learn game, sleep around, travel the world while I'm working, continue to get into better shape, have my ankle fixed. Long Term - Have place in the woods away from civilization to escape from the world and find a partner who actually wants to spend time with me and not just be roommates.

My wife has been unhappy with our marriage for a long time. When we sat down to talk about divorce it was more of a mutual decision than me telling her I'm leaving. So I don't consider it ruining her life. I do feel bad for my son as it complicates his life going forward. But he also seems to understand why we're getting a divorce and seems happy for me.

I would say I now have some game, which is vast improvement over the complete lack of game that I used to have. Still needs lots of work but at least now there's something to improve upon. Talking to women no longer bothers me. I'm still not great at it but it's no longer a crippling idea. Went kayaking with a bunch of family this weekend and there was a mid-twenties hot body "lake host" inspecting boats before they launched. They were all talking amongst themselves about if we needed to get the…

Honestly I knew my marriage was fucked beyond saving a decade ago. When I came to that conclusion it was right after Thanksgiving and I decided I didn't want to leave right before Xmas and mess the holidays up for my son. Instead I started drinking to kill the pain. Then came a pile of reasons, ie excuses, why I needed to stay. I was fat, I was scared to die alone, I didn't want to be a failure at marriage, I was scared to not have that safety net both financially and physically, scared what it …

I honestly can't conceive a path forward with her that is acceptable to me. I don't see a covert contract, but I often miss them.

Basically, there was no hope for saving it or a path forward where we could both be happy and still be married. A long form of this will take a bit for me to ponder and write but I think it's probably a good exercise. I'll have to be careful on this one, it has ban written all over it.

Wasn't meant to brag rather show my pathetic attempts to talk to woman in real life. But I also know that if someone here calls you out on something it's worth thinking about. So maybe there was some validation seeking on that.

I was hoping the 36hour weekly water fast I was doing would keep the loose skin issue at bay. It clearly hasn't kept up with the weight loss. Any references for the 300% number? I'd love to look into that. you'll find the options you're able to pull at goal weight... Makes sense.

100% chain gym is better than nothing. I'm just spoiled with this one. Quite possible it is bullshit. It's at least helped. You will probably say this is also bullshit but everyone knowing everyone leads to a lot of conversations being interrupted so it was hard to talk to anybody for more than a minute or two. Plus if you fuck it up or the girl isn't receptive it leads to awkwardness later at the dojo. Not as bad as a work scenario but not consequence free either. Shit I may call bullshit on my…

I'm NOT buying a new house with her. I'm not that tarded despite past indications to the contrary. This is just a good guise to prep the house to sell, which I will need to do when I get divorced anyway.

Honestly, I don't want to be divorced. But I know she's not changing and I'm unhappy with how things are so I either suck it up, get drunk and be miserable, which I've done for a decade, or leave. Some days my ankle is "fine" other days it sucks. I sometimes have a plate under my heels to minimize the amount of flexion during squats but if I warm up with 2 light sets before progressing it usually doesn't bother me. It's far worse when I'm kicking people in MA and I can't do the high knees joggin…

Missing a couple ligaments in my ankle. Weight loss isn't going to help that. It's not super limiting but my ankle does give out at inopportune times. One of these times it's going to cause me to fall down a flight of stairs and that rehab will probably be worse. Do I want to fuck? yes. Her? meh.

Growing up the youngest of all the kids in my class I didn’t yet have the social skills to deal with what was going on around me. Growing up the largest of all the kids in my class got me treated like I was older than the rest. As a result, I resorted to getting physical to resolve things and got a lot of "I'm disappointed that you resorted to violence" type of comments from grownups.

I know my weight is my biggest issue. I'm working on it and I've dropped almost 90# in the last year. I still have a long way to go. I cheated on my diet and admitted it. (Thought that was OYS.) Did it make me feel better, yes at the moment but it wasn't worth it. My right shoulder is fucked and I'm limited by pain. It's been operated on and this just may be my limit on the BP.

Didn't even think about it being a shit test. Fuck I'm slow sometimes. u/The_Iron_Temple's response was good and got me thinking about ways I can respond next time. Not psyched because they put weird restrictions on the logistics & what they'll reimburse, makes hitting the gym/ma and eating well more difficult and I had plans. However, it will be fun to meet some new people, check out the new scenery and get away plus it's a week with two of the founders. Yeah, that was some pity party shit. Xma…

I know there's a ton of BS with my relationship with food. Definitely don't want to pull a "biggest loser". Been there done that. Will take a look.

I decided a few years ago that this marriage wasn't going to last. Unfortunately, instead of getting my shit together and leaving I drank and ate in an attempt to stick it out till my kid was in college. I'm not expecting to be married in a year. In the meantime she's a great sparring partner to get my shit in order and I need more time to finish getting in shape. I'm just glad I found this group. It's changed my life tremendously. I went from drinking every night to a couple times a month, moti…

I can't even get her to sit next to me on the couch. "It's uncomfortable." I'll try the shower ask this week but I can't imagine she'll go for it. I can count on one hand the number of times we've showered together. I know I need to keep dropping the weight if I stay or go. I assume this will get easier as I get closer to my goal.

Honest answer, Jack Shit. Having a hard time creating intimacy with her. With the lack of intimacy there is a lack of opportunities to escalate/blur the lines. This is partly due to my lack of game and partly due to her evasion of opportunities for me to game her.

At 3#/week this should be mid May. Had some stomach issues this week that has trashed my eating. Would have thought that would have caused me to lose weight but it didn't. It also caused me to skip workouts a couple days. Only hit MA twice, lifted 4x. I've been really enjoying wo…

I don't know if it provides any direct benefit to me but I can see where it helps people reading an OYS to know if you're actually reading anything. I see at as similar to the lift numbers.

Weird, I accidently dropped them from my OYS. I've read: Sidebar, NMMNG, WISNIFG, MMSLP, MAP, Poon, BoP, SGM, RM, Frame by RS, RS Sidebar Series. RedPill Coach vids. Continuing to watch a ton of w/o and diet stuff trying to get my shit in order. Started reading RS's Dread book, maybe 25% done.

I was hoping that I could get some feedback on other areas of my life aside from I'm a fat fuck. I know this already and I'm working on it. I'm down 60 pounds. If this is the only feedback I'm going to get until I'm not a fat fuck what's the point of posting OYS?

Every time you respond I end up having to research stuff. The MA sessions are fairly intense cardio, especially the sparring ones. I still plan on doing those 3 days a week. I was just referring to dropping the pure cardio sessions I did to be able to do the MA sessions and not die.

Most of the time I do my own thing. In this instance I wanted her to go. Partially because I wanted to go out on a date with her and partly because the restaurant is in her hometown and her mom gave us the gift card so it'd be awkward if I went there without her. This weekend I'm going to see a buddy's band play. I invited her along but if she bails, I'm still going. I've given up trying to get her to do fun things.

I've been so focused on the day to day I didn't realize at 3#s / week 250 is only 6 months away. In the last 7 days I've done OMAD 3 days, PSMF 3 days and completely fasted 1. Not one day have I gone back to the SAD. I don't remember when I've had 3 meals in a day, it's been months. Most of the OMAD days are keto as well. u/_RPeed I don't know how you can eat that much lean protein in a day. I can only get down around 100g a day. Now I know why you were calling it the suicide shred. The thought …

Not saying you're wrong but I've never seen anything saying OMAD has to be everyday to in order to be OMAD. And I didn't eat at all on Sunday, does that make the rest of the OMAD days worthless? I'm in the dojo or a gym 6 days a week, sometimes twice a day. I've stopped drinking. Not sure what else I would need to do before you think it's important to me. I understand I need to get in shape. But I also know that I have a long way to go soI need to be able work the plan long term. I've done keto,…

I’m not sure what’s worse: asking MRP what to do with your life or listening to a woman. Best not to do either. I knew I was going to get shit for this. I like the leg press machine but I'll give the paused front squats a go. increasing my depth and ROM would be a good thing. Neither are great.

Thanks, as I was writing this I realized it was a shit test and A&A should have been used. I got all you care about is sex last week as well. Amazing how slow some shit is to sink in. Getting her to do anything is next to impossible. It took 3 tries to get her to the restaurant. She often bails on plans at the last minute.

It's mostly on me. When I started with him I could barely walk, my ankle would give out, my knee hurt going up stairs and my shoulder hurt all the time.
