I'm gonna try to post the first thing of my story on Wattpad today, I'm pretty nervous ;o;
Good thing my ideas are so weird and strange that most people wouldn't be able to write them, or maybe that's a bad thing o.o
This is what happens when I watch too many shows and weird ideas come

By the gods.

The fact that the very horizon exists is proof enough that the earth is round. And the argument I heard the famous rapper use was, "these cities are only 16 miles apart. Where's the curve?" But, and I'm roughly approximating here, the distance between the cities is only (25.6km/40000km)*360° = only .23° of arc of the earth; not a noticable and observable difference.

The horizon is just an illusion!

My mom's work recently moved to a new building, one of their neighbors is a strip club, and, well, this:

So I've been working out for a little over a month, and although I feel like I'm not doing much, I have to admit just how hard it's been...it's no joke, seeing how hard it is for people on weight loss shows. It's not just a matter of doing some stuff or eating less...you're fighting all the habits and the emotions and mindsets that got you there in the first place, and it's hard.

What's making it hard for me is my sleep schedule and work. In my perfect world, I would wake up early enough to do a quick workout and have breakfast, then get ready for work...but in reality I get up 30 minutes before I have to leave for work because I stay up so late. I've always been a night owl...I remember when I was 5 and had a 9pm bed time, and I never wanted to go to bed, because I felt like I was missing out. Once I turned 18 I stopped having a bedtime, and since then I've never gone to bed before midnight unless I was just sick or something. But now this causes another problem, in that I'm always napping by the end of the week, especially since I don't guzzle down soda anymore...and once I get home, have dinner, shower, and nap, I don't want to work out. -.-

I feel like I've done decently, but I still have a lot of fighting to do...

YOU CAN DO IT MOOT

Thanks for the vote of support, Nox.

You'd be surprised how much weight can be lost by simply walking a good distance each day.

I feel like I'm sleeping an unhealthy amount o.o

And I've been sleeping too little. Perhaps you could transfer me some of your sleep?

Thanks Laurentus. I just saw your post.

Just to reiterate...it's fucking hard to come home from a full day of work knowing you still have 45 minutes of workouts to do. It's just Tuesday and I already feel like all I've done is work and work out. I had planned on catching up on stuff today, but somehow our registrar managed to drop all off our students from their courses, so thanks to having to work on that I'm not only not caught up at work, I'm further behind than I was. -.-

I've come up with a goal though. The last time I weighed myself was in December 2014, and I weighed 300 pounds. I was so embarrassed that I never weighed myself again, though it helps that I don't have scales at home. My third boyfriend was between 300 and 400 pounds, and back then that sounded fucking huge...I mean, I loved him, but I swore that I'd never be that big...and then I was. I would like to reach 240 pounds by the end of the year...roughly the weight I was between graduating high school and becoming ill a few months before I joined NationStates three years ago.

It's still a big number, but it's something that would feel like an achievement.

I think it's time to admit I need help.

People of Wintreath, I need a mentor for NS, and this region.

Go for it, man. You'll feel better -- physically and mentally -- after you've gotten down to a stable, healthy weight. I've been there; I went from 255 to 190 over a year. If I can do it, you can too.

Don't think of the workouts as something to do. Just make it part of your routine; it's lifestyle changes, not a chore. Adjust what you eat, look into something like a fitbit or use a food journal (include liquid) and try to keep a positive outlook. It'll fluctuate up *and* down throughout the day by a couple pounds (poop is heavy man), so keep your weigh ins to once a week or so for a stable benchmark.

I don't want to go to school tomorrow, I'm stressed, I'm getting sick, I'm tired all the time.
