i was in decent shape on the road to a great physiqe and then i dont know what the hell happened but i havent been to the gym for 3 weeks and in the past month and a half i would have been there 3 times. since i have become such a lazy fat ass i ave put on 3 kilos of fat and lost muscle and strenght and i feel like a fat piece of shit and i hate it.

welcome......dont talk down on yourself, it destroys you self-confidence...just get back in the gym and start hitting things hard again, you will easily regain the muslce you lost because of muscle memory...if you need any help just ask

dude....i too let myself go when i was really progressing nicely....ive gone down the "put myself down" road and it only makes me feel worse....its been 3 whole days that my eating has been spot on and workouts have been strong but i feel a THOUSAND times better......my suggestion would be that you simply hop back on the bandwagon and get to the gym! it makes a WORLD of difference!!

Bump to that. It only takes one or two workouts in a row and you'll start feeling good again. It's just the getting rolling again that takes effort. Welcome to Ironmass I hope you stick around and we can read up how you got your groove back.

Bump!!!... Welcome to IronMass... and what everyone has told you is the truth.. we have all had times where we have let go for a bit.. I know I have... and it does NO good to talk bad about yourself.. you just have to remember all the good things you have done.. and just get yourself back to the gym and work hard... it wont take you very long to get the fever again...

Good Luck with your workouts.. You will do fine.. just work hard and you will see the difference in no time..

We are all here to help support also.. so dont feel bad about asking for some support.. we all need it.. and we all give it..

Enjoy the site.

thanks everyone for your support and i know you are all right. i just need to get back to the gym, and then i know i will be back into it, my main problem has been not accepting bodybuilding as a main part of my life. i need to say to myself that it is a big part of my life and i need to embrace it, i do so many other sports i seem that i dont want to do weight lifting because i am enjoying them too much, but i know if i just get back a few times to the gym i know i can fall in love with it again.

i keep saying, i will definately go tomorrow, and i never do. i wake up at 11 am everyday and i just feel tired and lazy, but if i get up early in the morning like at 5am i feel great and go for a jog and jog to the gym and work out. thats what i used to do, but because it has been school holidays i have become very lazy and just zonked out. tomorow im waking up at 5am, having a huge protein breakfast and then run to the gym and get back home and shower and be ready for the day. MAN I BETTER DO IT !

now im just ranting haha, ok well ill tell you all if i can get back into it.

also im 16 6'1 93kgs but i was 89kg and really solid before my slump i actually probably put on more like 4-5kgs of fat and lost a kilo of muscle.

You will be fine once you get back.. you just have to set yourself a routine.. and make yourself do it at first.. and then it will be just something you do.. and like second nature to you... I have faith in you..

If your having trouble getting started just do something easy to start. Say first day back just do squats. 4 sets of 10 and your done in 10 mins. Next day just do one exercise for shoulders etc... After a week add a second exercise and so on until your back into a full routine. Starting small is easy but it will help you transition back into it and won't take up much time.
