Dont know why but it kinda demotivated me to train anymore. Not because he’s stronger than me but because I kinda don’t wanna end up like him. He’s like in his 30‘s now and still lives with his parents, dropped out of college and started a job as a waiter in a restaurant, cant Drive a car etc. but he’s fucking fit. We won’t end up like this right? Fitness kinda took up a lot of my life because I took it seriously but after seeing him I realized it’s not worth it if i end up like him. Do you guys still have motivation to achieve other stuff while staying fit?

OP here, forgot to mention originally that I'm also trans. I'm not sure if that matters but I am still looking for advice :)
Nathaniel Gonzalez
you're right fitness shouldn't be something that takes up your life. eating a healthy low fat diet and doing some cardio sometimes is all that's needed for a healthy body

It's not really a choice: you go clean your home, you go to the gym to keep fit, you clean your teeth.
Otherwise you end up as a unattractive slob.

I think if you're training like that then you're training too hard. Anecdotal but I get less gains when my lifting fatigues me for the rest of the day
Just make exercise the last thing you do in a day and you'll be good.

Dunno, man. I already had everything wegen I took up lifting. I can see how done guys make it the entire focus of their life, though. I'm sure it helps when you're aware of it.
Ian Smith
I feel the same. But I know some people can have good habits and be successful, AND be decently fit. But finding the motivation to get fit and maintaining it is definitely a struggle.
