but what i ended up realizing, what is now probably my biggest motivation: the ATTENTION FROM WOMEN!
i never had too hard a time pulling girls when i was chub rock, because i was still decently handsome, had decent style, and i was a dj.
but once i really slimmed down, and put on some muscle, my god! had i known how much attention i could get from hot women from looking like this, i woulda never allowed myself to get chubby at all (it's hard now too because had i started lifting while still super skinny, it'd just show automatically, and i'd look super toned and cut immediately, but after being chubby, there's still some fat there and stretched skin that has to be filled with way more muscle than usual to make it look nice and tight).
i mean, i've pulled straight up model looking chicks this last couple years. it's amazing. i get hit on all the time, and catch tons and tons of women looking at me. and that's not me trying to hype myself up, that's real talk.
the absolute BEST tho is girls who used to never give me the time of day, now they sweat me mad hard.
if that's not motivation i don't know what is. now i push myself SOOOO HARD, trying to look better and better.
to give you an example of how much different i look (i no longer have to wear glasses either, i got lasik), here's a before (taken in august of 2006) & after (taken in recent months):
for the record, that last pic was taken as a joke. my girl said i looked diesel in that shirt and snapped a pic of me acting stupid.
but yeah, that's putting in work. people say i don't even look like the same person. i've had tons of people i hadn't seen in awhile not even recognize me.
so, moral of the story is, if you're chub rock, stop frontin', stop procrastinating, and go hard or go home!!!
