I appreciate your response, though I'm curious as to why you'd deduce that I have daddy issues? I stated that bringing up TRP to my SO was a big mistake, the biggest in my relationship, if I'm quoting myself correctly, and lifting is something I also said I want to do but lack the motivation. I've read the recommended reading in the side bar and some of it I read often as a refresher. But I know what you mean; lifting is essential to self improvement, and I will put more effort into that area than I have. Though I've been "clicking around", application is a learning process, and holding frame is something I strive to do, it's just different when I'm trying to regain frame in a relationship that hasn't had the guidance of this sub for four years. And your right, I guess I did blame women for being the way they are, but NOT holding them accountable, isn't that what the rest of society does? What am I looking for? What good is this knowledge if I can't keep the girl I want? Getting new ones isn't the problem. My smv is already higher than hers, I hold frame and leave if she starts a tantrum. Do you believe my current situation is a lost cause?

I meant your lady had daddy issues, which is a red flag for her relationship with men.

I don't think you have a lost cause but I do want to pull a move from the movie "Ghost Dad' and choke the shit out of you through this computer (I'm jk)

But it is slightly infurriating to see a person who is as close as you are to breaking that barrier from wanting to doing.

At any point while you were writing your post did you think to yourself, "You know what, I haven't been lifting and I HAVE been quitting on all of my business ideas, I should knock out some push ups and write out my goals and the steps necessary to achieve them instead of a Reddit post?"

You don't need our advice, you simply need to take some fucking action. You. Are. A. Man. forget the analysis paralysis and simply start doing something.

Write out your goals for next week and get started on checking them of the list. Do push ups every time you walk into or out of your living room. Do 100 push ups for every comment you leave on reddit and 100 body squats for every 1/2 you are on the computer.

Earn your leisure time.

We all want you to succeed, but only you can make that happen.

I get anxiety at the gym, so what did I do? I most certainly did not say, "Fuck it, exercise it out of the question!". I found another way to make it work. So I bought a used bench, a used barbell, new bumper plated, my wife got me a squat rack, and I bought some kettlebells.

I made myself a home gym and if lifting weights isn't your thing, your body is weight, use it if you don't know how, visit r/bodyweightfitness.

I'd like you to do me a favor. I know I'm a stranger on the internet but I've had success with this in the past helping others and it may aid you on your journey.

Write down 3 goals. all to be completed within the next 6 months.
Under each goal write down 3 specific ways in which you are working towards each goal.
Make progress every single day
Keep this with you and look at it daily.

For example: I have a paper that is pinned to the wall at my desk. On it I have written all of my goals for 2015. One of them is Buy a House under it I have get preapproved, find Realtor, find house and schedule inspections.

I've already gotten preapproved and found a Realtor, I will own a house this year because I am making that happen, day by day.

There should never be another day in your life where you make NO progress. They are called Zero days, and you've already used all of your's up.

Get to work, good luck.

This has also been therapeutic. It seems a lot simpler now and very clear. I hope you don't mind I took it a little farther than you instructed.

The 6 month plan:

Fitness

-lose 15 pounds and tone up -wake up work out (light-cardio excercise) -dedicate exercise time for after work (various regiments) -50* push-ups/crunches every 30 minutes on Xbox/tv/computer -50* push-ups/crunches every time I leave my house -20* pull-ups everytime I leave my room * = incremental increases over time

Finance

-save for apartment in the city -reduce expenses in unneeded areas -cut back on weekend fun -cancel useless subscriptions, clubs -halt online shopping and other frivolous spending -find apartment in the city that is manageable with my current pay -save enough to move in, plus two months pay.

-get a job in coding -finish various online courses -make a personal project once a week for practice -begin scoping out possible jobs before finishing courses -open my network to create websites, and various other coded elements for businesses, personal, etc.

Wellbeing

-quit cigs -reduce amount weekly -no more carton purchases -no more chain smoking. One and done.

-broaden social network -remain proactive in social settings -follow up with potential business connections, friends, like-minded folk, and potential plates -use EVERY outing as an opportunity to connect with someone new

Personal

-create more music -camp on weekends to create a wide variety of compositions -diversify sound cloud tracks -practice use of logic x -network in the music scene

-read more books -find more recommended RP reading -read less fiction -cut back on digital media

It's nothing. This sub is for the improvement of all men. As long as you are focused, have a goal(s), and take action then you are on the way to crating very successful habits in your life.

Eventually you will feel like ass when you miss a run or will feel crappy when you sit for too long. I never really had a fat/lazy phase, but I have stepped my running up significantly and now when I don't run or bring my kids on a walk I feel lethargic.

Just remember, if you fail to prepare then you are preparing to fail.

Set yourself up for success. I used to fucking HATE morning PT in the Navy. But once I simply accepted it then it got easier, but when I started laying out my clothes and socks and shoes so all I had to do was stand up and grab the pile in front of me, it was MUCH easier to get my ass out of bed.

Prestage whenever you can.
