Its my 26th birday today, very very big things coming up. My girlfriend is arriving in Sydney from China to visit me and spend both her and my birthday together (Yes we are born on the same day although she is 6 years younger than me!). Then I am scooting off on a 2week golf vacation with my good friends, girlfriend and sister!
Obligatory pic of said alleged girlfriend
On to my epic milestone~
On October 16th 2011 I weighed 84.7kg whilst only being 173cm so that my friend is really fat as you can imagine. Now the weird thing is I've never really cared about the fat jokes or felt at all insecure and I think the reason for that is I felt I was overachiever in every other aspect in life anyway.
I thought to my self; 4 years ago I was a broke student with less than $1000 in savings now I own an apartment and still have more than 7 figures banked. I've come along way success wise, but my health has suffered immensely as a result.
So I decided to just become the perfect being. The epitome of a young balla, I started with 3km runs on day 1 but by about the 30th day I had already increased my run to 10km.
I planned my calorie intake everyday (set at 1300) and planned my cardio and strength training to burn atleast 800 calories. I did this by rotating between a 2km swim or a 10km run or a round of golf. With an addition of 80 situps and 60 push ups daily.
There were days where every atom in my body wanted to give up and take a day off but I persevered.
I remember one day super clearly. It was towards the end of December and I had been sick with a slight fever and was playing poker since 10am till 2am. Thats 16 hours of continous grind. I was also down about $30,000 but the fish logged off so I was done. Really wanted to eat something warm then shower and sleep but I hadn't done my run yet! Oh shitt..... No pain no gain I thought. So I put my shoes on, did the laces up and went down stairs. Then I finally realised what all the noises were, there was a monster storm, thunder and lightining everywhere. I still went for it, I told myself this is how people succeeded and there was no way I would accept failure. That day I ran 10km, the rain completely soaked my clothes and shoes. With rain and sweat dripping down my face I couldn't even see where I was going, but I ran and ran and when I was finally done I felt like a champion..
Today, on my birthday the 12 of Jan 2012 I weigh 69.8kg thats 14.9kgs lost in just under 3 months.
Happy birthday to me!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same

1300 calorie intake per day, is really dangerous low for you. You must have got this figure wrong? The average male will consume 3-4k per day. Considering your specs, 1300 is too low. 2300 sounds more like it. Also running with any injuries will severely effect your longterm EV, as you can damage yourself really bad that will prevent you from doing much running. So just cuz you have not did that run, dont over do it if you have serious pains. Running through them is seriously -EV.
Congrats on your achievement so far though

Maybe if your 6', 200lbs and training for Mr. Olympia but not if your some small asian kid trying to lose weight. 3-4k is definately not average.
1300 is probably fine for his frame to lose weight, probably running at a deficit of 500-800 calories. Probably should of done it in increments though.

Well ok. I must be big boned. 3k is easy for me. I know guys who eat far more. I guess it depends on how much muscle you got.
I feel that you have a pretty strong superiority complex, probably caused by an inferiority complex that is even stronger.

Your goal when working out is to accomplish something productive. Your body is a machine, your mind is not. While you can beat your mind into submission by willing yourself to do certain things, your body cant be made to burn calories if you dont have the energy to expend them. Forcing yourself to run in the rain while you are tired might feel satisfying, but you arent accomplishing much. Nor is forcing yourself to workout after staying awake for 18 hours and you're dead tired.
Instead, plan your workouts and maximize your potential when you do. By the way, you mentioned you're on something like a 1300 cal diet and you try to burn 800 cal's. You realize the key to losing weight is to burn more calories than you intake. So if you're consuming 1300 per day, your goal should be 1500 or whatever. Unless you're already accounting for calories burned just by walking around and being awake for the day.
bye now

Nope 1300 calories everyday. Like someone mentioned I'm pretty small asian, and yea I started to get really bad shinsplints even though I bought really good shoes and soles for support so I started to swim 2km instead and also play a round of golf both of which are good calories burners.

Thanks for this. Really wanted to see if I could do it that stormy day.. But obviously I smartened up and had far better planning (I.e Exercise pre poker), but somedays when fish logged on highstakes I still went to run really late but when it comes down to it $$$ in poker >> Daily routine.
O and yes, ofcourse i know you have to burn more than you eat to lose weight and i also know just being awake and going by your day is a calorie burner.
Some parts of your post indicated the very opposite Sir.
I won't tell which ones, but I'm pretty sure you can figure this out given your superiority.

Me being confident and proud of what i've accomplished?
You realised being good at something, i.e poker means im superior in it than other people right?
Anyway, last 2 points I have for you.
1. Im superior to you in more ways and inferior to you in less ways.
2. Haters are going to hate.

Good job sir, however you should have informed yourself a bit before jumping into taking such drastic measures. Losing 15kgs in 3 months is extremely unhealthy for you and you've probably noticed how your skin streches .... The hard part isnt losing a couple of kgs but maintaining health ... Might take up to 2 years for your skin to recover as it should be because of what you did... Really shouldve thought about it. I've seen it happen - side effects are nasty

Brits aren't known for having athletic/muscular bodies, especially past 30 years old.
Yeah im not sure what people were saying. there was a time if I didnt eat under 1400 calories I would start to gain weight. Sometimes it would be muscle mass but my body metabolized food very oddly. When I worked out a ton I never ate over 2k calories. You can eat a lot of healthy and whole foods as well as filler foods. Ur crazy if you think a regular dude who doesn't work out 7 times a week needs or eats 3k calories. Your eating a ton of shit.

I did computer science advanced at Sydney uni, I was a risk consultant. And yes I've completely given up working in a corporation. If poker dies I'll likely start a company or just buy a bunch of real estate while I figure out what to do next.

Your posts are very intresting.
U seem to have insane motivation/dedication towards everything u do.
Still interesting that this dedication seems to be your best strength.
Judging from how u achieved to lose your weight.
Its definitely that your success comes a lot more by dedication than pure superiority in terms of intelligence,physics or other stuff
U did a lot of things very very wrong !
Otherwise u would have studied valid ressources on how to Diet and Workout correctly in running sports before just running like a madman everyday
Afterall u are a little asian nerd kid .... who just is way way more dedicated than other guys . Take away the dedication and there is not much else u have to offer
So i understand this other guys point about u being driven by inferor complex for a good amount
I dont mean this as an insult !
Its just interesting how u talk about being a superior being and becoming perfect when u cant even run 100m below 12seconds or lift your own weight several repetitions on the benchpress nor have an above average dicksize either
(expecting Wobblys determination kicking in and seeing a 11,9s 100m run video and weightloss down to 40KG so he can bench his own weight +1 hour porn including his monstercock within 12 months ^^)
well nah just kidding

Good job, god I know what you mean, I'm exactly as tall as you are and I weighted exactly the same as you did before dropping down to almost 60 kg by jogging over... 3-4 months just like you haha.
I thought I was special, it seems this shit is pretty standard :D
Since then I've been working out and I now weight exactly the same as you.

i dont weigh superior coz i lost weight.. i feel superior for my mental ability to persevere.. And yea, I kinda put more emphasis on the impotance of nerdy asian things as opposed to being atheletic, maybe that will change but maybe it wont...

Good for you Wobbly. I'm a little envious of people who can find it comfortable ina relationship so easily. I've been a player and been with so many girls that on a very base and fundamental level I distrust women and don't feel satisfied in a monogamous relationship.

Your problem wobbly is what you think "being better" is, you are certainly most strongly willed and intelligent than most of the people you feel superior to, but you are inferior in many and most important things to some of those you label as inferior.

the problem is you judge people according to your criteria while otehrs judge according to theirs.
so the conclusion is you're all wrong.

no im judging people by what most societies use as criterion
You absolutely just proved what baal was trying to tell you.
I think some people confuse hard work with intelligence when it comes to wobbly.

well wobbly is intelligent and hardworking and an overarchiever there is no denying in that, but as some of you said he totally missed my point.
What i said wobbly is that how society value people (intelligence, money, perseverance etc) is absolutely retarded and thats not how the real worth of a person is determined.
You seem to think most ppl are retarded (i agree) yet you use most ppls way to determine others value... you see how illogical that is?

The way society defines success is fairly laughable. If we are looking at it from that POV then obviously we'd include looks, what car you drive, ability to woo opposite sex, social skills etc...
fuck mee... fuck U!

Baal s spot on tbh.
and if you feel superior to most people because of society's definition of that then you r far away from being superior to anyone tbh ....
Obv i would be a dumbass not to admit how many things you've achieved, but you have messed up values considering what you type.That still might be a defensive reaction to your ego - to be so arrogant and tell everyone you own them, but the only thing you r doing this way is sinking to the level of a monkey, banging your chest high showing off your dominance over someone else which is ... kinda primitive... which is kinda exactly the opposite of "superiority". But then again it all comes down to the definition... different people have different understandings of the word, however once you come to the point that you feel ultimately superior - then you've come to the point where you cant learn anything new and the only way you could go is down
Considering your previous posts you will probably take this as an insult but this is not the idea of my post - hope you would understand that

Ok lets get real since everyone wants a discussion
I dont think everyone is retarded, most people are just average intelligence and they compare with each other using very similar models namely the one i used (Int, Money, Persverance, Health and as rainkhan mentions, looks and then slightly more superficial things such as car one drives or house one lives in). I think most people are smart enough to realise that somethings on that list is less important than others, you dont need to be a genius for example to realise that a guy driving a hyundai 3car isn't nessacarily inferior to someone driving a BMW because like I mentioned there are more important things than how good the car you drive is.
So I guess what im trying to say is, it isnt retarded to measure yourself using societies criterion, because im not using the retard model, im using what non retards think is important.
Money, Int, Health, Hardwork, Values, Morals and I think i am better than most people in it, thus I feel superior. Now hang on before you judge. Im not saying im the most awesome person I know, hell im far from it and I know i have plenty of places to improve in. For example,
I know a guy called Phillip, and he is a NASA ceritfied astronaut, who in his uni days got 99% in double degree engineering courses and has also made like 400k in poker in a year then quit coz he doesnt give a shit about money. The guy juggles like a beast and rock climbs for a passion, and is one of the most straight up honest guys I know. So he has me crushed in every field I and most of society deem as important criterion as a way to measure superiority.
In contrast I also know a guy and I'm not gna name names this time, who dropped out of Highschool, dealt drugs, ended up in jail and how receives goverment pay while doing labour work. Ok he is likely to be superior than me in some areas, like Lifting weights, self defence and I'm actually struggling to find another thing he would be superior to me to, but lets for humour say he is likely to have a bigger dick because he isnt asian. This guy is probably 1 in 100,000?
Now my last example, I'm gonna use an average joe, someone who passed highschool, scraped by uni with an median score, who is working in a office job with a pay of 35k a year dating a normal girl, and who has a passion of say watching the rugby on the weekends and going out drinking on friday nights and saturday nights with friends. I'd say Im superior to him in, int, money, hardwork and now even health. But yes there are things he is superior than me in, forexample he can beat me in a beer chugging contest, he might have better values, he probably owns a car, but I believe there are superficial things.
To sum it up I've tried very hard and applied my self in areas of life which most of society has deemed to be important and in most cases have come out ahead~ I ain't saying im a genius or somebody that deserves praise because i've changed the way this world works or something. I reckon I am just far better than the average person in what counts in life.
And people for fuck sakes,
I am a 26 year old with self made 2million dollars who is amongst the best players in his country and amongst the elites in the world in his profession. I work from home yet I spend loads of time travelling and seeing the world. I am healthy, I am in love and I have amazing relationships with my family and close friends.
So give me a break for fuck sakes, If I cant feel superior now then please list what the minimum requirements I need to meet to say I am superior than most of the world.

I don't, view your post as an insult at all. It has a very different taste to it than some of the ones which were meant to be insults.
Anyway, I agree definition is the key here, but I disagree that it is primitive to compare amongst people in society. If I never compared, I would have never got to where I am today.

you cant value morality and money at the same time, they are contradictory, if you had a "superior" morality you would realize that money is meaningless.
your criteria for that supposed superiority is not smart, its actually quite retarded and irrational, explain to me in rational terms why you care about being sucessful and considered superior to others plz

now ur just being ridic...
the rationale that money is a measure of success is that, the more money you have the more buying power you have... and more is better.. now dont get more philosophical and try to argue that less is more or something.
Just read my last post. Its pretty much irrefutable proof that i am awesome.

Thing is you are both right ( Baal & wobbly ). However yes - the more money you have the more power you have thats true, but the main idea here is to feel free isnt it ? If you feel the constant need to show your success you are searching for acceptance, which makes you insecure - doesnt matter how much you've achieved. If you need acknowledgment then you aint happy thats for sure, you cant relax and not give a damn and be happy with your success. Kind of makes everything pointless in the end from this perspective tbh
What im saying wobbly is you dont need to prove yourself in front of anyone. You dont owe anyone a thing. You dont need to prove some dumbass over the internet that he s wrong simply because u own his ass. Be glad of what you've achieved and enjoy it & keep going for more thats the main point here isnt it ?

this -_- money is miniscule in terms of values
why do you feel the need to compare yourself to others, what's the point?
judging by your posts, it seems like you mostly want to succeed in life to have the feeling of superiority over everyone eles, to finally be able to say "im better than you"
no hate intended
I dont know what a dt drop is. Is it a wrestling move? -Oly
