Motivated now here i come!

[Stealthgrow]

hey everyone!

im a 22 year old male 5ft8 11 stone but im still skinny. when i was 16 i wasnt skinny at all people used to say i was stocky i felt fit and felt strong but iv slimmed out so much since then.im quite athletic broad shoulders and when i do bang some weights which is very very rare i feel rock solid after. iv just gotten lazy drinking smoking and eating crap really.

iv been slim for a long time but now im noticing im putting on weight on my belly, i was always the guy that could eat what ever i wanted and never put on a pound but now it seems its finaly started sticking to me lol

so now im motivated to do this! not purely to get mahoosive but as a hobby i can enojoy doing and something thats going to make me feel good!

i dont drink much alcahol anymore maby drink once a month but i smoke 15 cigs a day and this is something i dont think i can quit rite now. will this have a major effect on body building or is this something i can get by with for the time being?

iv always though man im just a skinny guy evern if i bang weights im not really going to get much bigger.but after seeing some before and after shots on here iv seen guys skinnery than me and now they are buff!! THAT ALONE has inspired me so much.

one thing i dont get is oyu can build youru mucles etc buti have kind of small hands and head lol well not small but they are in proportion with my body iv seen guys go from skinny to BIG and their heads and hands are also bigger man like! how is this?

man i hope this thead isnt so long and boring that you guys wont read it but ill finish up now.

i dont think its a good idea to go flat out straight into this and suddly change my diet to a strict regimene. my plan is to start eating more healthly 1st no more pizza and burgers and just get some regular cooked meals and start eating breakfast and start using weights regularly.

is that a good thing to do as a newb or would you suggest i do start eating ceartain foods etc?

sorry if this is dragging on and i thank you for taking the time to read this and hope to hear from you soon.
