I need some motivation...

[SVTMuscle*]

It feels like I have been cheating so much lately with crappy foods, although i bust my ass in the gym 5-6 days a week, i throw it all the way at night and eat badly. and i always feel guilty putting me into a depressed mood and feeling like i'll never accomplish my goal with bodybuilding, someone help me out!!

[IBdmfkr]

You want me to be nice or mean? Really man, get your shit together. You just stated you know what you are doing wrong and then do it anyway, no pity for how undisiplined you are. Get it together, if you're going to put all that time and dedication in the gym then do it outside as well. Don't just go through the motions and talk the talk, live it/breathe it. No more excuses.

How was that for motivational? That's my nice version btw.

[Zapp]

Like IB said. You know what you're doing is making you feel bad so don't do it. There's nothing we can do or say to make you stop eating bad. You have to make your mind up to do that yourself. It's all about self discipline. That's what seperates the real bodybuilders from the wanabe bb's.

oh god i dont know if im supposed to be nice here or be a d!ck about it...hmmmmm...man you just suck right now! first off you are what you eat agreed? secondly getting depressed over shit aint gonna do you any good unless you are a fan of that one thing called CORTISOL which will only help you lose muscle and put on some fat. i dunno man just no sympathy...you know exactly what to do and you arent doing it...why cant you eat healthy? there are people out there that cant even afford to eat and people dying everday in africa from starvation so you better not be looking for sympathy here.

[onehundredk]

just like everyone said. mean or nice...its mean...cuz nice jolly isnt gonna get the picture to you...think of this for motavation....do i want to waste all that money not to get the best results...or results at all...if you kno before you eat a shitty meal. DONT, tell yourself, "yo dont put that shit in your mouth, youll **** yourself up"....thats what i do. haha

[SVTMuscle*]

nah dude i want you guys to be mean this is just what i need, i've been good for a while, but the past few days have been a downward spiral for me... starting tomorrow, im gonna see how long i can go without cheating.

[chest6]

do you want to look like this? Asking for more fries?

[Anabolios]

what kind of bad eating are you referring to? not enough cals? too many sh!tty cals? mcdonalds and snickers bars?!

[fully_paully]

I think everytime u eat shitty food u should have someone that back hands u, fart in ur face then slaps ur penis as hard as they can with a metal ruler ?

[IBdmfkr]

I think you are trying to stay too strict. You have got to let yourself cheat every once in a while. It is the constant bingeing that will get you. I eat clean Mon-Fri and then cheat a bit on the weekend, nothing drastic but if I feel I need something sweet I will eat it. Do what it takes to stay on track, a cheat day is a must unless you're dieting for a comp.

[fully_paully]

with me....because of eating good foods all the time like no lollies or fast food etc... wen it comes to eating food thats junk my body rejects it and i usally get sick like get a head ache,, i get light headed and end up gettin really tired. thats how my body is anyways its good in a way cause it stops me from eating shit food

[BOUNCER]

i get light headed

We know, we've read your threads.

Okay, if you don't add an inch to your chest and a half to your biceps this year, I will come screw you until you squeal like a whole chorus of pigs being slaughtered. NOW do you feel motivated?

I had a prob. with this when I finished shows and began to do shoots, take pics for my site, etc. When I have a definitive date for a show or an event in which I KNOW I have to look my best, then the "night eating" is not a problem for me because I zone out. My personality changes so much that I am not fun to be around, but I have to change or else I'm eating and being the "normal" Chris, not the product "SwoleCat" that I want to produce.

Even up to recently, I can diet extremely easy all day, eat only what I need and drink water like mad, etc., and it's no issue at all. Seems that once the sun goes down, something else happens. I'll go to sleep, then wake up to pee and the next thing you know I'm on my 2nd bowl of Peanut Butter Cookie Crisp or some whack shit like that.

It leads to depression because it's a cycle. You say, "I'm gonna start tomorrow for real beacuse I can't do this shit anymore", and you feel better kind of. Then, you screw up again, make a new start date, and do it again. You continually do this over and over to the point where you aren't getting fat (because you are on point all day w/diet and exercise) but you aren't getting cut either (because you are then gorging at night nullifying all of the hard work you have done that day).

For me, it's similar to anorexia as far as the mental thing and it being depressing goes. If I can only eat what I need to and not cheat at night, it feels great!!!! When I cheat and gorge and say "I'll do double cardio tomorrow to make up for this", I start to question my dedication and if I can do this anymore.

The ONLY thing that helps me, is having a DEFINITIVE goal. There has to be a date set in which I know a lot of other people will be seeing me, and I have to know exactly what that date is. If I don't, and I just cutting to get lean and I don't have an exact date of when I need to be ripped, then I fall of w/out a doubt because you really don't have anyone else to impress, and you also don't have to impress yourself because you KNOW how you look when you are ripped.

So, I've tried to book/make actual dates so that I have a definitive goal. W/out a goal to reach for, there are just too many exits on that highway to rippedness.

[SVTMuscle*]

great post Swole Cat. my goal by the end of summer, which will be Aug 25th for me, for long term is to have under 12% bodyfat and bench 275. and my short term goal, at the end of January is to not cheat!!
i'll have the ultimate test when i get back to college and have to go to the Res Cafe everyday and see all that fatty foods calling my name, but i'll resist.

and it nots like this is an everyday occurance guys give me some credit!! it's only been like, a week, and it's mainly because of the holiday's and the bad mood i've been in because of them!

Oreo cookies at night $1.50
Bag of chips at night $1.00
Being motivated to bust your ass in the gym,
due to the threat of man-love. Priceless

Somethings money can buy, for everything else there is Anna.

[SwoleCat]

For some reason Anna's picture and a chorus of pigs go together in a weird way.

[chest6]

damn great post swole..good examples. I am very similar..at night that PB tempts me wayyyy too much and I consistently will go more than 2 tablespoons..I really shouldn't be touching it at all.

[IBdmfkr]

Fat ppl crack me up. Gotta love em.

[SVTMuscle*]

Fat ppl crack me up. Gotta love em.

well im gonna change that!!

[kaptainkeezy04]

truly aint nothing wrong with a cheat day once a week or once every 2 weeks in your case.

[Machdiesel]

I eat because im unhapp.....
And im unhappy because i eat......
lol i have the same shit, sounds SO OBVIOUS!! but just dont buy shitty foods. i LOVE ICE CREAM, and if its in the freazer, im gonna eat it, no doubt, **** the motivation, **** all that, when its staring you in the face its that much harder. ALso i notice if i pre cook meals its easier, cause instead of being like god damm i gotta cook, then clean the mess i made, then eat, blah blah blah im mor elikely to just eat a bowl of ceareal cause its easier. just make it AS EASY AS POSSIBLE on urself

[TantruM]

these kids parents should be put in jail

[chest6]

these kids parents should be put in jail

I totally agree.

[SVTMuscle*]

i think im gonna go with a lower carb diet for the month of January... does anyone have decent meal plans for a low carb diet....

[SwoleCat]

There are so many recipes and such on the net, it's nuts.

Just type "low carb meal ideas" into Google.
