I've finally decided to do something...

[Diego89]

Ever since i came here i boasted i was driven to maximize my potential. But, really, if anything I've gone backwards. I'm probably at my worst in terms of looks compared to, well, ever. My face is tired and puffy from the late night drinking sessions. My body is lacking tone and bulk. My mind is weak and filled with doubt. I haven't had a haircut in months, nor have I shaved. In no uncertain terms I have neglected my appearance.

And that's not all. most of close friends i rarely now speak to. Where once my habitat was firmly in the company of others, now i'm a social recluse. I feel lonely.

i haven't even been outside for three days (or spoken to anyone). my skin looks sickly pale.

I actually feel sad. i was always a happy person, but now i feel, almost in a cycle of darkness.

From today, i'm taking the following steps to turn my life around:

1) reactivation of Facebook.
2) maintain basic grooming standards: get haircut and shave.
3) reorient sleeping patterns to date/night cycle. No more 36hour without sleep periods.

I might use this thread to keep track of my progress.

I've set a deadline of 3months to reinvigorate myself to the point where I feel confident and strong.

how I look today (my starting point I guess):

I'm sorry life is hurting for you right now. I'm having a rough time myself.. You can get through this, just push yourself to do what u need to do and take care of yourself
