Question #1:

Any tips on home exercises and tips for getting motivated?

I am 25 years old and now weigh the most I ever had. I wear a 16/18 now. I just gained all this weight over the past year and 1/2. I have had so much happen and so much stress, I have started to eat my feelings and become a home body which, if you ask anyone who knows me, isn't me at all. So I know once I get motivated enough to start and know what I am to do,then It's a breeze from there because I am very dedicated and willing.

I'm tired of people saying " wow she's gained a lot of weight" and feeling bad about myself. I want to do this , but don't know where to start or how to get motivated to start. I work two full time jobs ,but can't afford the gym as they are too expensive. So what are some good at home things I can do and good motivation tips to get me started?? I have cut soda's out of my diet completely, which I drank a lot of , but Other than that I am stuck. Any help wold be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Question #2:

How can a person who is a loner, become more motivated without the direct help of others?

Hi! I am having an internal conflict. I have been tested as having a fairly decent IQ, but am not an analytical person. I have a very creative mind so to speak.

That being said, I love to paint, draw, write, create, etc. etc. I do not want to work for anyone else, but want to be financially independent relying on my own artistic abilities. However, I have NO MOTIVATION to start this endeavor. HELP!

How does a person get motivated, when money alone is of no motivation. I do not particularly enjoy the company of strangers, and do not have friends who are like-minded. How does a loner get self-motivation, without the help of others? Is it possible?

***SIDE NOTE****
My husband and I have had a successful business of our own for four years now, but I am not as involved as I would like to be due to the fact that I have been home raising two toddlers. This is the reason I am looking for an alternate means of financial independance, and I don't smoke pot!! LOL!!!!

Question #3:

We all have goals but often they can be hard to acheive - Just do it ?

Looking for ways to strengthen motivation

Question #4:

My 2 years girlfriend almost left me for another guy, what should I do now?

I've been in love with this girl for the last 2 years, she is 28 and I am 30, good education, job, income and have been very caring about her and she has been so much in love with me (at least that is what I understood), our only issue was that why I am not proposing to her, I got the ring and told her I have the ring, but I kept delaying proposing for stupid reasons, but I really cared about her wanted her as my wife. After I decided I am ready to propose and we get engaged, I started to notice she is in touch with another guy through txt at the beginning and later they were going out together and were so much emotionally attached. She still tells me she is thinking about us to see if she can come back or leaves me. She wakes up next to me in the morning with his txt msg and so excited, talks to him in our house and goes to trip and ask me not to come, I know it sounds disgusting and I hate myself to keep up doing this, but I am so much afraid of loosing her to him, and I truly love and she was my only friend beside being my girl friend, I mean I could easily talk about anything to her. Finally I spent couple thousands dollars on couple therapy which was just excuse for her that she wanted to try things, but this new guy kept getting more and more into her heart and I kept pushing and begging more and more to have me back. One night I was so tired of my life and drank a whole bottle of vodka with piles of pills and ended up in hospital for a week. Anyway, she still sees the guy and is so excited about him, but she keeps telling me let's give us time to think about things, maybe we can work it out, but waiting for me just means she makes sure she is happy with other guy. now we are supposed not see each other or talk to each other for 2 weeks, but I am pretty sure she spends all her time with him and most probably they have slept together too. But, I can't let her go, It was 2 years of emotional investment for me and she had everything I admire in a girl. All I did was delaying proposing for couple of months, but does that justifies to jump on another guy which is younger than her and doesn't have any outlook to propose to her in next 5 years! what should I do when I know I pushed her back and back by telling her I love her so much and she is my everything and spending money on expensive gifts and trips to have her back, but whatever step I take makes her 10 steps away. I am at breaking point mentally and physically due to starvation and lack of sleep, almost dysfunctional at work and has no motivation to even live any longer. I put all my eggs in one basket and don't know what do to. If she would tell me for 100% that she loves him and wants to be with him could be easier for me to move on, but she keeps giving me false hopes and when I know the details of their relationship I feel sick and I get disgusted from my own weakness. what is the solution for the pain? it is beyond my capacity, I am not sure how long I can carry the pain around and seeing her being happy with this new guy when I did nothing wrong in my relationship and tried my best to fix things that looked like could be improved.

Question #5:

Why do government programs exist for things we KNOW can be done on an individual level?

I'm 17 so I might be a little naive about this. I'm wondering why things that can be done on an individual or private level like medical care, education and social protection are run by the government? Isn't it inefficient and risky?

I'm not dissing seniors who have Medicare, its worked for now but its unsustainable. All of the profits are being used for further government spending and eventually the program will be run on a deficit. If we never had this program, families would be tight knit. Our society will HAVE to encourage kids to do good in school, go to college and get a good job in order to take care of their parents. That's why kids have so much more drive in countries like India and China. They know that it will be their responsibility to take care of their parents and not the government and tax payers.Also, people will be more encouraged to invest or save up for the future. Cuts to Medicaid and Social Security wouldn't help the poor,but it would encourage them to strive for a better future. As long as welfare is good enough for people to become completely dependent on it, there won't be any motivation for people to help themselves.

Education is another story. Isn't it more efficient to privatize? The college prep high school I attend is partly funded by large private corporations and partly by the government so its sustainable.When you so much tax dollars going toward failing schools, we're better off privatizing. If parents have to PAY for their kid going to school, all the more reasons to expect more out of the youth. Since our society lack's an immediate sense of dependency on the next generation, it might even explain our high divorce rates.

So basically, what logic is there with these unsustainable programs? Cutting all of these programs and making individuals families accountable for their own future would make the country stronger and not a "welfare republic". Plus the government will become smaller and with less influence. The collected taxes can be used for things that can't be done individually or privately like maintaining a strong military,space exploration, conducting large scale research and providing law enforcement, emergency services and disaster relief.

So would we overall be better off without those large entitlement programs?

Question #6:

What happens to us in the end if Christianity wrong?

If Christianity is right...then those who don't believe in Christ go to Hell, which is bad. I'm asking the other religions, atheists, etc., what happens if I'm wrong and I die? What is the motivation to believe as you do?

Serious answers please.
Just to be clear. I'm an evangelical Christian and believe I have been saved from an eternal suffering through the blood of Jesus Christ.

Mainly I'm asking because if I'm wrong and there is no God, but I'm living a quality life, what's the problem? But If I'm right and there is a God, and you don't believe in Jesus, not such a good outcome.

Question #7:

Is it ok to be 21 and to be undecided with life?

I have no direction right at this point in time with my life. And when I grab an odd job I lose it because I have no motivation to stay there.

Question #8:

What made you stop settling for "doing alright"?

I have been "doing alright" for most of my 30 odd years. Alot of people have said I have done better then they I ever expected. But I know different. I have been settling for comfort in my life and its become uncomfortable in a stressful way.

At what point in your life did you decide to start pushing yourself and stop settling for "doing alright". What was the tipping point and what were the first things you did to start?
My main ambitions are financial and recognition - I dont care anymore if thats superficial. But I am curious about other peoples motivations.
Share the wisdom. Thanks!

Question #9:

Motivation gets you going and habit gets you there...agree?

Question #10:

Chivas vs Jaguares, ur thoughts?

ok, so im here after amost every victory of chivas, but now im here to talk about their loss

sure, chivas hasnt been playing at all well the past 3 games, and the game vs jaguares finally confirmed it.

there was no connection between the players, but im also not going to take away any credit from jaguares. they played really good.

in the end, i think that chivas played with a lot of pressure and it finally overcame them. also, jaguares played with a lot of motivation because they havent won a single game at home in a year and that chivas came with 8 straight wins.

well, hopefully this loss takes away some pressure from the team, and by next saturday vs pumas theyre back to how they use to play in the first 5 jornadas

Question #11:

What's my motivation?

I really don't feel like doing homework, but I've got 30 minutes to be alive and 100% conscious and I don't want people to think I slept on 3-7-10 as a procrastinator who didn't do her homework. Why do we even do this crap? I mean, it's not like I will ever become something in life dealing with language arts, lab assistant at most dealing with language arts, but to do that you don't need to make 6-word memoirs! And history, do I really need to memorize what color Christopher Columbus's eyes were in order to figure out if my food is poisonous or not? so seriously, I have my own motivation for algebra, physics, and my other classes, but none for social studies or language arts. Is there even a motivation?
Well my school is stupid and doesn't offer Philosophy as a class!
I've already got A+'s in science and algebra and A-'s in Language Arts and Social Studies! I just want to know if I will ever actually get a job that will require me to know what color Roger Sherman's eyes were!
It's not like we actually do anything in class... we watch peers hug and stalk our teachers.

Question #12:

Do you think im depressed, or is it hormones?

I feel like nobody truly cares about me even my bestfriend..she tells me she loves me no matter what and i it makes me feel better for like 10 min then it just goes away. I used to play basketball up until this year..i miss it a lot..im the manager for our varsity team but i still miss it..and i feel so detached and like i dont belong with my teammates from last year..it makes me really sad, I get so angry and sad all the time and i dont know why..i can think of some reasons like these but they dont seem like enough, i think about suicide..somedays a lot..some just a little..but still. When im with my friends at school, im happy on the outside..i make my friends laugh and smile..im constantly wearing a smile..but half of the time..im crying inside. It makes me even more angry and sad that nobody can tell that im this way even my family or closest friends. I dont like being around people that much. I dont have much motivation to do anything but school..i take adv classes and get A's and B's but sometimes school even brings me down. I have hard times making decisions, im really scared of failure. I wish i knew why i felt this way tho..it makes me cry all the time and i never know why..im confused and it pisses me off. Sometimes my thoughts scare me and make me cry even more.

Question #13:

How can i motivate myself to go to the gym?

I used to go 3 days a week for 1 hour. Then i got busy with school, and then i completely stopped for a month, then i started going 2 days a week. ughh, i haven't been in 2 weeks.
I would like to go 5 days this week but i have trouble getting myself to go.

Have any tips?
If you want to tell me to get off my lazy butt and go then don't bother answering...that's the whole purpose in this question, to get off my lazy butt and go. I need motivation.

Question #15:

How to get motivated to finish an essay?

I have a four page, double spaced essay due (at the latest), March 19. I only have a page and a half. I know I need to get it done but can't seem to find the motivation to do so.

Help?

Question #16:

Do people on here ever read the blogs by Aps/Paps?

I have and some of their issues I find repulsive. Some I've had to unfortunately deal with in my adoptive american family.

Do you feel pity or sorry for Aps/Paps that can't have children naturally because they never developed a healthy workout routine and overeat unhealthy food?

Why would they expect pity because they chose to become and remain obese?

What do you think Jillian Michaels from the show "the biggest losers" would tell or suggest to them?

Should I make my Adoptive american parents watch the show for motivation?

Thanks for your advice in advance. Take care.

Question #17:

Motivation to stay vegan? and vegan lunchbox ideas?

I'm a high schooler and I usually pack my lunch. I'm seriously considering going vegan (i've tried once before but I ended up quitting) and I need some good lunch ideas that I can pack that don't have to be refrigerated:) Any advice would be great.

Also one more question for people who've been vegans for awhile; how should i keep myself motivated to stay vegan and not quit?

Question #18:

What happened after they told you they didn't want you no more?

Have you ever been dumped, divorced, or told by someone they didn't want you no more? After this happened what did you change or do to boost your confidence, or self esteem, and did this help you achieve winning this person back, or getting someone better? I want to hear some motivation.
Aren't there things you can do physically, or mentally for self improvement? I didn't say I wanted to change for some guy, I just wanted to hear "your story" ....???

Question #19:

How to deal with stress when you have a VERY loud family?

My family is awfully loud and I can't take it anymore. I'm the quiet one who likes to come home and study but its very difficult when your family is so loud. I come home from high school and my brother is blasting his loud heavy metal music to give him motivation while he works out--for about an hour and a half. Then after that my mom works out for a bit over an hour, blasting her even louder music. This just makes me so angry. My brother comes home from school at 12:50 as he has a spare, and sometimes I ask him "Why can't you just work out at 12:50 rather than 3:00 (which is when I get home from school" and he says that he doesn't want to mess up his work out schedule and he doesn't care.

My family is just so loud I can't take it. In fact they're yelling right now as a I type. I've lost my concentration. I'm so stressed out that I've become suicidal. I feel what's the point of living life when you're always stressed? How can I get my family to stop being so loud. Am I just being a whiny brat?
I would love to go to the library but I don't know how to drive yet even though I am 16. Should I try to set up arrangements for me to go to the library? For example, maybe my grandfather or cousin can drive me.
