Day 267
I'm almost down to 20% body fat again and weighing in at 198 lbs. I'm pretty excited about this and it definitely feels good to be at this weight range once more. I tell you what, the hardest thing for me is to be consistent in this part of my life. I've noticed this in many other areas of my life as well recently, and it's something that can be extremely annoying when I stop to think about it. Why is it so hard to do something, the right thing, over and over again?
Consistency. Consistency. Consistency. Perhaps the greatest manly virtue of all

Day 272

Hey @Kraken. I can't take credit for this myself, I found it on one of the old forums. It's been very helpful for my recovery that is for sure. I like the philosophy of it. If I can find the link I'll post it up someday.

Thanks @FreedomFromTheStruggle_11.

Thanks pal! I can't wait, just a few more months.

That's what I'm talking about man. I told you you can't be derailed. 9 months is always a big achievement anytime it happens. You know how to obtain long streaks nowadays, I can feel you can handle the recovery very well now.

Day 273!
It's nice to officially be back to nine months. And as a little extra bonus this morning, I saw 20% body fat again on the scale for the first time since May. I've been working hard for over two months to see those numbers again, so it's nice to have that result. But like all things, especially with porn, the real trick is to live in harmony and peace and not swing back and forth and stay on the committed middle path no matter what. I alreadly know with porn I could slip off the path real quick, as last year only showed, so complacency is my greatest threat.
What if this day was my last day? What if this day was your last day? The ancients used to meditate on death to wake themselves out of their all too human stupor. I think this is healthy, not in a morbid sense, but in a truly life affirming sense. To know you're going to die, and it could be this very day, keeps you on the straight and narrow. Don't we have goals to accomplish? Our women to love and cherish? The world to save to the very last man? If we did these things, we would never have time for a selfish quick jerk off.
A slave would whisper to the conquering general at his greatest triumph, on his greatest day...
Memento mori
Memento mori
Memento mori
(remember, you too shall die)
The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself; to be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile.

Thank you, sir, it feels great to be back here.
Thank you, @Escapeandnevercomeback. What we've done once we can definitely do again. That goes the same for you.
