I am about to quit for the final time. I've gathered resources and preparing to use them, including this site. I have tried several times and failed. I am determined this time and hope to chat with this community often about my Final Quit and Journey to become a bodybuilder.

Welcome back TaracaX. One day at a time you can do this.
What has inspired you to learn body building? Are you in progress or starting after you quit?
Yes, I did it in my 20's for 1.5 years and went from 120 to 145 lbs. loved the feeling!
I hear you!!!! I love to walk and hike, but a little bit of a work out regularly --goes a long way!
Welcome back, Tara!
STILL love your jewelry! Are you still making it?
I am wondering what you are doing differently THIS time? Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Have you done some reading? Made a list of distractions as a reference if it gets tough? Made a list of your reasons for quitting so you might refer to it as you go along? Increase not only your strength, but use exercise as a dopamine producer and stress reducer? Changed up your routines to reduce the associations and triggers?
I hope you have done all of the above - it WILL increase your chance of success!
Let us know how we can help make this your FINAL trip down this road1
