Hi asktrp,

This is a particularly difficult post to write.

I've seen how you guys have helped others before me, and I'm hoping some of you might be able to help me. I'm 25 and going nowhere, I work a shitty part time job just to keep a roof over my families head. As such I'm broke, obese and quite frankly depressed. The thing is, I don't know how to change things... and that's why I'm here, not because I can't get laid (which in all honesty, I can't) but because I know people who post here are older than me with more life experience than I could possibly imagine.

I'm hoping I could get advice from this sub about how I can change this situation I'm in, a kick up the backside if you will. I'm here because I'm sick of looking in the mirror and hating what I see, a man who has contributed nothing and done nothing with his life. I'm here so I can get my self respect back. I know this won't be an overnight job, but any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading.
