Thanks to everyone on the advice. I'll let you know if I make any progress.

Just got back from driving hatefulerin and her man to Seattle, so he could put up his art for his opening tomorrow night. Hope I can go- I'm super broke and low on gas. Monday I'm gonna call my supposed temp agency to see if they have anything for me....

I stayed quiet on the weight loss topic because it felt too much like another day at work. The big concept is that the changes you make (in diet and physical activity) need to be liveable and life-long. I'd really discourage you from the no-carbohydrate route. It can yield very rapid weight loss, but rarely is it permanent. Studies regarding its safety are equivocal. Any dietary changes you make have to be ones you can live with, i.e. even the occaisional Krispy Kreme is allowed.

oink wink

I was a fat kid/adolescent (which goes far in explaining my esteem issues...,) and I still get "taped" at my Army weigh-ins -so I have some personal experience too.

Don't overwhelm and discourage yourself with abrupt changes or expectations of immediate results. Two or three pounds per week should be the most to expect, and remind yourself that *any* weight loss is progress. Remember you're making a life-long change, and it will be months to get where you want to be.

You need to ramp-up your physical activity; walking is great, as is biking. If you can make plans with someone to walk or bike together it will help motivate you (bacuase I know you're too polite to stand someone up.) It can actually be fun. I'd avoid jogging/running to start, since a knee or back injury will only set you back. And being heavy already predisposes you to knee and back problems. Strength-training is great as well; more muscle mass increases your resting metabolism. Plus all guys want "big guns." You don't need a gym. Start with pushups, shallow knee bends and lunges. If you want to buy some weights, check out the Salvation Army and garage sales. There's too much good, cheap, used equipment out there to even consider buying new.

Obviously I can go on and on...

Next week: Smoking cessation. whatever

Much too sedentary lately. I need to start getting off my ass and getting things done. Need to go grab my futon out of storage, clean my room and my car, look for a job and go get things straightened out at school. I'm starting small, though. I'm editing a story I wrote so maybe you guys can read it. Now I just need to...

My back has been fucking killing me for the past week, and I don't know why. I think I over-schlepped.

Does anyone read these goddamn things I write anymore? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Edited to add: I just spent an hour in the hot tub trying to quiet my screaming back muscles. I spent most of the time wondering why I was all by my lonesome....

I saw a water tower with "Save Randy's Spine" painted on it just this morning.

Lonesome tears
I can't cry them anymore
I can't think of what they're for
Oh they ruin me every time
But I'll try
To leave behind some days
These tears just can't erase
I don't need them anymore

How could this love
Ever turning
Never turn its eye on me
How could this love
Ever changing
Never change the way I feel

Lazy sun

Hung out with the loverly Roxy today- she told me she needed to spruce her new place up a bit, and only one thing occurred to my rotten, addled mind- Archie McPhee's! Ikea? Pfftt! Crate and Barrel? Fuck that shit! Where else can you buy a pair of X-Ray Speks and a body bag in the same store?

After that we just kinda bummed around...

the best way to live your life is by making sure youre rocking ALL THE TIME. anytime youre near a stereo - crank the volume as high as you can, anytime you get invited to a funeral - bring a keg, anytime there are grandparents nearby - start throwing bricks. its just that simple.
atrasties:
Good stuff man, I always smile when I read you having good days. I like good people having good things. I used good 5 times there. Had to count the one in saying how many too. Night.

Once I rid my house of all the talking appliances, papered the exterior walls with Sunday comics and had my mercury amalgam fillings removed I was fine. I still get urges to set fire to Chrysler K cars, but they've become rarer and rarer (the cars.)

On a more somber note, probably yes. Anxiety d/o tends to be a wiring problem, not very amenable to cognitive therapy. Wish I could provide some more help, but I'm sort of removed from prescribing circles these days.

ok..i originally came over here for the first time because you said OH SNAP! to someone on a dirty thread post...but now i read back in journal entries and i'm thinking to myself what the fuck happened here. i've always been a little intimidated to come over and speak to you because you seem to be one of the main players around the site. but now it seems like you're definitely going through some conflicting shit. i'm sorry.

i was just ranting about some that same kind of behaviour in my journal yesterday. if you need someone to listen to tirades or just to talk to you can email me through my journal anytime. i'm always around and i'm always willing to listen.

much love and hope that you feel better
kiss

p.s. damn...i'm out of pot...my meds...but hopefully not for much longer. hope you can figure something out to ease your mind.

Okay, here's the score-

Grow up and act like fucking adults instead of stupid high school kids, and maybe I won't disappear on you.

Think I'm bluffing? Think I'm full of shit? Ask my dad, if you can find him- cause I sure don't know.

Edited to add: Yes, I'm talking about leaving the site, but so much more- oh, so much more than...
