How does your life compare before self improvement (lifting, eating clean, etc)?

Don’t be a pussy.

Grow. No one cares about excuses. The first step is showing up to the Gym. Hard to leave once you get there.

You may not be "happier" afterwards, you can't be worried about that. But would you rather be unhappy and a fat piece of shit or unhappy and actually making some moves to improving your life to contribute more to society than your mere existence?

For me personally 2020 has been the best year in a long time for me. Which is because of self improvement. Alot of it had to do with cutting of bad toxic habits such as video games, jacking it to much, orbiting, eating unhealthy etc. Overall I feel like a completely different person than I was a year ago at this time, all for the better. And I am far happier now than I was back then

I'm 28. At 21 I was in college, playing rugby, drinking a few nights a week. I would go hard, sometimes 8-10 drinks in a night and knew that I needed to stop. To do that, I would reflect daily on how I needed to stop drinking. I would literally write it down. I've probably had less than 10 beers total this year; 3 of which I bought with my buddy at a brewery earlier in the year (meanwhile he got cases), one for a date in August, and two for another date.

At 21 it's really important you set yourself up for success as it snowballs and makes life easier later. Quit bullshitting yourself with smoking and drinking heavily, you and I know it does no good. I was drinking at parties to celebrate big rugby wins and even then I maintained awareness. Are you even doing it for anything? Maybe after a long successful day of work? If not, stop being a loser. Even if you are doing it as a reward (which I doubt), learn now you have to stop.

As for gaining 15 lbs over the last few months, stop being pathetic. Wake up and do 100 pushups/squats/situps every single day, I don't care if you need to break that down in sets of 20 or sets of 5 given your current state. Go for a jog twice a week, start with a half mile or mile and work your way up to 5 miles.

I haven't even touched on self-improvement, career, women, or other goals you might have. There's no need to. Until you get your shit together and cut back on drinking/smoking and start taking care of your body's exercise needs, I don't see a reason to elaborate further.
