re: Successful (or not) Long Distance Relationships

GN has completely went off the rails

A lot of his advice hits people so they shite on it but man oh man this line about overseas trips is full of cringe

I used to have a food addiction

When I was growing up and playing football in high school and college I could eat whatever the frick I wanted without gaining an ounce

I was like this all the way up until early 2015. Then I quit my part time job in Iowa and got lazy. I had the same eating habits. All of a sudden I got fat. Here are two pics taken June 2015 to prove it:



As you can see. Double chin, belly overhanging my swimsuit, etc, weighed 205 pounds. Women paid no attention to me.

My food addiction was to where I would do shite like eat a whole pizza from Papa John's for LUNCH and then go to some place like Taco Bell for dinner and splurge out. And I was still always hungry. The only thing keeping me from eating more was money. If I had more money to spend on food I would have.

Anyway it got to the point where I was having some issues with sleep apnea and that combined with seeing pics of me like the ones above of me being a fat arse(shite you can't really tell in the mirror) finally caused me to put my foot down and start being more responsible with eating. Got serious with a diet and lifting/exercise. Lost 50 pounds and was down to 150 by July 2015. Only took a year. Maintained that weight for 6 months and started bulking in January and I am back at 170 but just starting a cut for the summer.

Are there still times I want to gourge out and pig out and eat whatever. Of course. The desire to eat a lot of food never goes away. But your desire to respect yourself and have a good body and physique and good health outweighs the desire to eat all the time. At least it does for me. Knowing all the hard work and sacrifice and dedication I had to put in to get to where I am now its not worth it. I have cheat days every now and then but for the most part I am disciplined.

Self Discipline is one of the best traits a man can have. It's funny how women started to not only give me more attention but also treat me a lot better once I slimmed down and started caring about myself more.

You really think women in relationships go overseas without their boyfriends to go sightseeing?

Believe it or not. I went to Europe with my mom & did not flirt with or blow any dudes. I went on many girl trips with friends, and none included cheating. By me or my friends.

Let me give you a tip.

I'm too old to fall for that.

You're too old to fall, period.

We met while I was stationed in Birmingham for military duty. She was working on a Ph.D and DMD at the same time, she basically did nothing but study and research before we met. We hit off right away and when I had to move to PA for the rest of the mission we had built a very strong, trustful relationship. I'd either drive or fly down to B'ham every few months or would fly her up when she had breaks from school. We made it a point to video chat almost every night and just maintained as much emotional closeness as possible. That was 3 years before I moved back to LA and she had graduated and started a residency program in TN. Now I drive up there for 4 - 5 days each month. Just have to make the time and we both know that it's just the effort a solid relationship needs no matter what.
