I gained about five kilos in weight completely unknowingly.

I don't even care about the fat at all, but that happening without me knowing and having too strong a anxiety to really work out anywhere scares me to death. It feels like I'm not in control and makes me feel all sort of unstable.

I don't know where you live, but it's not so hard to do burpees or pushups or a few yoga moves in your apartment... and then maybe go running after dark.

You don't need to lift weights or be in a gym to get fit. You might not get to the point of being a hulking muscleman with a sculpted physique, but you'll feel better.

Thanks, Odo. That's good advice. And I would, but I have quite literally no space for sit ups. The walking spaces are just barely big enough to fit two legs through, so extremely claustrophobic to do any sort of exercise in. And for running.. well, I'm not sure how can explain that one. It's very complicated, but that's for now also out of the question.

For now I've scheduled a very strict six-month diet and will try to do as many chores as possible to still try and get some exercise in. It'll probably won't do an awful lot, but it's the best I can do right now.

While I worked at the cafe we had a LOT of foreign customers, I think mostly tourists. It was interesting to note the differences between how many of them wanted their coffee and tea and how my fellow Americans wanted it.

I noticed most foreigners wanted English breakfast tea and while some Americans ordered it, many got herbal and green teas instead.

So I go to work today, like any other work day, and a co-worker comes up to me ''Hey, did you get your Christmas bonus yet?'' to which I replied ''No, I didn't know volunteers got one.'' So, now, on the very day I start my diet, I am given this;

Candy, olive oil, cookies, extra ripe cheese, chocolate, crackers, apple juice, ect. You get the drill.

I'm not even mad. The irony of this is hysterical.

^ I used to have to do my exercising in a confined area of space before too. I used my bed. It is surprising just how many exercises you can do on it, just treat it as a rectangle bit of floor space. You can do sit ups, push ups, all kinds of leg exercises while lying down and on your hands and knees. And if you can buy a small single set of weights (5 kg each) you can at least build some muscle on your arms, and muscle burns more calories for your body just to maintain it, so every bit of gained muscle helps.

Haha! Oh I mean... that's terrible :p

Hey if you don't want it, I don't mind bearing the burden for you. I'd be happy to assist.

I was gipped several months ago. The "premium, pure, stone-ground matcha from Uji, Japan" was either stale, low-quality, or sencha tea. Dark green and bitter. Tossed it today after trying to at least make a latte out of it - blech, can't even compare to Peet's.

This is a common occurence among inexperienced matcha buyers, apparently. The website of the brand doesn't even exist anymore, and I visited it several times, where it talked about how to avoid being duped :rolleyes: I got the stuff from Whole Foods, too - I thought that would guarantee authenticity. Pah.

Now I've got supposedly reliable sources but can't afford buying more right now. Oh how I love matcha :crying:

I really dislike Windows 8. I had to deal with the locked HD problem when it was installed on my mom's computer. After that I installed Windows 7.

I'm not even intending to use it for long or for anything other than simulations, and I have to argue with it about Microsoft accounts, apps, and other junk.

Ubuntu didn't ask for jack squat.

My only problem with Windows 8 is the application menu, I can never find anything there (desktop computer). Since the only thing I look for there is the control panel, I put a shortcut to it in the start menu. I don't know if this is a Windows 8 thing but my pc takes a minute to be fully operational when I turn it on, which never happened with my other computers.

Nope. The software repos are always months behind, and I prefer a rolling release system. Canonical is also not a company that I trust. Despite running one of the most popular Linux distros, they can be pretty toxic to the free software community.

Ughhh

I think I legitimately want to quit my stupid part time job like this week or next week :/. I just.... have MAJOR anxiety thinking about, though I doubt they even care that much considering how ridiculously soon most girls quit there. I can make more money working at home anyways. I made more in one night than the whole week there. It's not worth working 10-15 hours a week minimum wage in a place with such bizarre rules and practice. I honestly thought I'd be fired by now because my severe anxiety has got to make me one of the worst 'sales girl' in history. I wish I wasn't so passive and anxious and could just be assertive and just quit like it was absolutely nothing. Nope, that's not me... I'm this scared little loser girl. I hate myself for it too! I'd rather just stay at home than this non sense. I am DREADING going in for 3 hours tomorrow, and that's hardly anything.

"The Prince’s Trust Macquarie Youth Index 2015 reveals that anxiety is gripping young people’s confidence, with more than one in 10 often feeling too anxious to leave the house and over half worried about everyday situations.

Almost half of Millennials’ admit to avoid meeting new people and two-fifths struggle to make eye contact, according to The Prince's Trust Macquarie Youth Index 2015.

It doesn’t stop there. One fifth of respondents said they ‘fall apart’ emotionally on a regular basis, rising to one third among the long-term unemployed.

The report – which also explores bullying, troubled childhoods and resilience – also highlights that the anxiety issue is preventing young people from looking after their health and securing jobs."
