Fear of losing my gains and the fact that I'm still not where I want to be keeps me motivated

Sorry guys Apparently it is true, cause its happened to certain people already, so I’m not taking any chances !!

Wanting to be the best I possibly can

That is what makes a bodybuilder a true bodybuilder, and that is to be simply.....

At this stage staying motivated is the hardest thing, family taking strain with my mood swings. My wife keeps me motivated with her continuos effort in putting up with me and all the food she cooks 8*/day. My trainer Dj keeps me motivated not wanting to let him down with all his effort and time on me, this Forum keeps me motivated as we all share like passions. Passion drives me, I love this game...

I still struggle with this. I am committed and motivated when it comes to training but i have no self discipline when it comes to diet. It really is a huge problem

Try this start out Sun-Thu super strict, then Fri, Sat eat as you want to. Gradually drop Fri, then only cheat Sun, then take 1 cheat meal Sun last meal of the day. It's how I started

I also gradually eased my way into my new diet.I found that when people just change everything from the get go they usually can't handle it and they go back to their bad habits.Start slow and you will get there.

To see how my body is changing. I'm by no means look like a pro bb'er but I've got some size and ppl react to it.
