Before I go and look up pictures of...

    I wanted to look up pictures of women this morning. I have like 4-5 days without PMO. I did some recovery stuff and some distraction through movies and games. Anyway, this morning I really wanted to look up pictures of women. I started to tell myself I would once I finish XYZ, and felt the anticipation coming up. That was where I took a pause. I finished XYZ and instead of going straight into those pictures, I came on here to write about that anticipation. Because it was interesting how just the thoughts basically got me in an anticipation mode.

    I recently got a gym membership and that's one new reason I want to avoid PMO. Because I think I will get better gains in the gym if I avoid PMO. I am still a total beginner at weight lifting again. When I was younger I lifted weights a lot and did PMO almost every day, sometimes multiple times. I still increased my lifts a lot, but I think I could have gone higher if I weren't doing PMO.

    Now, I'm older, almost 30, and my body probably can't take as much as it could 10 years ago. So that's one reason I want to avoid PMO.

    Also my original goals of having more dream recall still apply.

    I returned to using PMO after having 59 days or something like that. That was about a month ago. I didn't do PMO every day since then. I had a few times when I had 4-7 days. But decided to go back. I'd do it once or twice then get another 4-7 days. After I finished the PMO I felt regret, like I had tricked myself again.

    So, I don't know what I'll do. I will probably get another streak going again one day, but I don't know when.

    I feel the anticipation to look at images in my stomach. It's like a big butterfly in my stomach. I also kinda think that if I do it, it will mess up my workout plans.

    The idea that I could just look at a few pictures and maybe edge a little, but then stop, usually proves not to be true. I will tell myself that to begin with, but then I will go to "the end". So if I try just a little "lusting" I know that it will be more than just a little.

    Last night I was watching some comedy skits and some had some provocative images.

    Bro, I'm on my longest streak ever right now, and I'll tell you, even apart from gains, it's NEVER worth it. My life is SO much better without it. I felt some serious urges this morning, edged a little bit, but ended up stopping. I'm so glad I did. The crash after the high is so far it's never worth it. Just suck it up, do some pushups, take a cold shower, jumpingjacks, wash your face, make yourself a good breakfast.

    Lookin forward to when you and I are happily married WITHOUT Pornography.
    Keep strong man,
    Love you,
    Elliot

    If you just find something to do or get outside, anywhere where you can't masturbate, or talk to someone, you'll be fine. Call a friend, talk to your parents, go for a walk. Anything.
