Question #1:

SA: Weight problems and having no motivation?

Hello. I'm overweight for my age. Not obese yet but I'm probably close to It with the last time I checked. But I would like to lose weight to become a healthier person.But I have no motivation at all to eat right and exercise. I do know what to do. It's doing It. And with the big fact that I have social anxiety/depression and never go out and hardly do any exercise so It Isn't that easy to go around my neighbour hood and walk. OR to go join a gym..Those are quite big steps and I'd feel very self conscious..I do have a treadmill and wii fit..but I never use them. =/ Does anyone have any advice? I've asked It In this section Instead of d&f.

Question #4:

What are the top 3 motivations for becoming an Atheist?

I want to hear from Atheists, Christians, Muslims...whomever feels that they can contribute some insight. No need to be insulting. Actually think of three intelligent reasons for becoming an atheist. For instance, grouping Jesus with the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus does not count as an intelligent answer and only shows your intolerance for someone else's belief system. This actually takes validity away from your argument. Be honest and mindful in your response. I'm really curious about this.
In reading many responses I see that many ppl say that there is no motivation. To believe is an action and every action has an underlying motivation...whether it be a bad childhood experience with religion..observation of the world around you. Choosing is an action as well as believing so no matter what you are motivated by something. Now, whether you have defined are grasp that motivation is a different story.
I meant or* grasped :-).
I appreciate the response of people who actually took a little time to think and not to be insulting. If someone believes something to their core...like gays believing that they were born that way...who am I to ridicule them...though my belief does not align with theirs..it doesn't give me the right to be insulting. It just means that we agree to disagree.
So lumping Jesus in with Santa Claus to a Christian is the equivalent of saying all atheists practice homosexuality on Sundays... Whether you are an atheist or Christian...it can clearly be seen that a person of morals and value should be tolerant and non-insulting. I don't believe Jesus is real is all that needs to be said, not, he is imaginary like Santa....blah blah...one is an intelligent response and the other is an insulting response meant to stir up insecurity and anger in someone. To belittle is to be little :-) whether it refers to belief in God or the lack thereof.

Question #5:

What is your primary motivation for being a Christian?

Some here say, that we follow God b/c we are afraid and fear is a way to control the masses.... wouldn't that be akin to comparing God to let's say....hitler?

Why did you choose to follow Christ?

Question #6:

Losing weight: How do you get motivation?

To exercise and eat healthy when It's quite a big change.
So how do you get your motivation? and does music help?
If music helps what kind of music do you listen too to help you?
Also I asked It here instead because of the spam In D&F.

Question #7:

Have you read John Grisham's The Partner?

What a frustrating ending! Or am I just overly sentimental. I read over 400 pages and was deprived of the happy ending i'd been waiting for! But did you think it worked? I can't believe she had any motivation to run off. Doesn't make sense to me.

Question #8:

Concentrate more on reading?

So. My friend and I have this horrible dilemma. We both used to be avid readers, and we love literature and reading (some of my favorites are Les Mis, 100 Years of Solitude, and Nick Hornby's novels).

However, for some reason or another, we have found that we can't seem to read any more.

I've tried a few things. I've tried picking up faster-paced books (Dan Brown's Lost Symbol - still sitting next to my bed). Different types of music, ranging from classical to instrumental piano to indie rock.

Our problem seems to be that we can't concentrate, but I don't know why. I used to read 200+ pages a day, and so did she (my friend). Now, I feel almost as if I lack ... motivation. I don't know why. I get really excited about new books and suggested books, but when I actually sit down to read, I start fidgeting and end up standing up and leaving.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Question #9:

Hunns, why don't poor people volunteer more?

Hunns, today I decided to do my part for society and donate some of my used designer shoes to a darling little thrift store. When Driver pulled up I noticed they were having a car wash as a fund raiser and of course I made my donation and let the little helpers wash my car. One of the volunteers noted that they were short of help today and that he wished more people had volunteered. Across the street I noticed the most darling group of homeless poor people who weren't doing anything except laying around and reading the labels on empty cans of vegetables. I was horrified at their lack of motivation to help out the thrift store. Why don't poor homeless people want to help society like I do hunns? I find it very, very rude and thoughtless. Who agrees?

Question #10:

I really want to be a baseball player, any help?

Listen, this is really important for me... I have dreamed of always being a baseball player. I wake up each morning thinking about my games in the evening, I trade baseball cards at lunch, I talk baseball to all my friends, I try my hardest all the time, even during practice, and I'm still not that great. I know motivation is not a problem, because I play for the love of the game. I don't care about who I play for, what I play for, just how I play and the fact that I am playing. I am 13 years old, about 5"4' and weigh about 115 pounds. I go to batting cages twice a week, and play hockey and other sports for fun too a lot to be fit, but baseball is special to me. I don't know what to do (as in practice) off the field to improve on baseball...
Any suggestions? I would sure appreciate it.

Question #11:

Blackberry for a child?

My daughter, Haelie, currently has a pretty decent LG ENV2 phone from Verizon that she got almost 2 years ago for a christmas gift. In August, she will receive her first upgrade! She really wants a Blackberry Pearl 3180 in pink. She is twelve years old and going into seventh grade and turning 13 in november. I think it would be a nice upgrade for her, and most of her friends have blackberry's too. My only issue is the data plan! We would have to pay $30 extra a month but knowing my daughter, she stepped up and offered to use her allowance of $15 every two weeks which we stopped because she had nothing to spend her money on (she said... SHOCKER) and that she had no motivation to do her chores. But, she said that she would use her allowance to pay for the data plan herself, she even put up a chore chart of things she could do to earn the money! She also said: "If i don't earn the allowance, then you can take away my phone for a few days, AND you can put me on 'debt' and make me work extra hard to pay it off."
I think it's a pretty cute idea, and i am almost falling for it. Should i give in and let her have her dream phone (she's wanted a blackberry since she was a little tot:) )?!?! And with her upgrade comming up soon, we NEED to make a decision soon!! HELP!!

Question #12:

I'm 5'3 and 168 pounds, I know over weight but I want to lose my love handles!!?!?

I'm not obese. The reason I'm not obese is because I'm very muscular and I play a lot of sports so obviously I'm not clinically obese. But I do have love handles. I got the love handles because I became anemic and wasn't able to play sports as much. So now I have some love handles, and they were a little big but then I started working out (doing Mitch Gaylords excercise the Perfect Ten workout) and I just haven't had much motivation or pleasure doing it like I use to. So I only have little love handles now and I lost over 7 pounds. I know it's an improvement but I just want to get rid of them and be healthier with the anemia and everything all together. I want to know an easier way to get rid of my love handles? Can anyone help? I'm going into highschool by the way, and school starts August 25th so I would like to lose them before then.
I would really appreciate the advice!

Eating tips, excersizing tips, it doesn't matter to me, just any way to get rid of them besides starving myself or anything like that!!

Thank you so much!

Question #14:

How much weight could I lose before school starts (August 23)? Any tips on how to lose it?

I am sixteen years old, 155 pounds, and 5,4.
I am starting a weight loss regimen and I hope to lose as much weight as I can by the start of the school year on August 23.

*I have a problem with overeating. Any advice on that?
*How much weight could I lose before school starts?
* I exercise on an elliptical machine for 30 minutes a day and do yoga in the mornings. Is this enough?
* Any tips, motivation, workout music playlists, or support would be very much appreciated!

Question #15:

Do you have any advice on how I can stay motivated?

I have the chance of a brand new life but I have to work hard for 11 months to make it happen and I always lose motivation.
I rented a house with my partner 3 years ago when I had a serious breakdown. Our lives fell apart, I couldn't work (I couldn't get out of bed, not even to wash) and we ended up thousands of pounds in debt. We had to move back to my parents so I could pull myself and our finances back together.
Now, I'm working again and we're in a position where if we save every penny for the next 11 months, we'll be able to afford to move out (as we would have cleared all of our debts).
The only problem is I still suffer with depression and I struggle with finding the willpower to change things.
I'm 25 and my partner is 27, it's definitely time we lived as adults!
He's such an amazing person and I really want to do this for him and his happiness (more than my own) I hate myself so much for doing this to him and I have to change things - for him if nothing else.
How can I kick this depression once and for all and have the will power to keep going?
I'm so scared of breaking down again.

Question #16:

What type of atheist are you?

In my experience, there are three types of atheists:

1. A type 1 atheist is one that truly wants to believe in God but cannot convince himself that he exists. The type 1 atheist are truly a joy to be around and talk to about God because they are generally more well-read and truly seek the truth.

2. The type 2 atheist is one that does not give much thought to God or religion. He lives his life in the present and by default just ignores the ideas of God and religion. This is the most common type of atheist.

3. The type 3 atheist is generally an egotist that believes he is above religion. He is hostile, openly or not, to all those who believe in God because he thinks they are ignorant and misguided. Though the vast majority of the Earth believes in a creator, the type 3 atheist knows better. Joe Smith, born in 198# has all of the answers because he has read an article here or there about creationism and evolution. The type 3 atheist is prevalent on these boards and is better left ignored because their only motivation is to be superior to you.

What's worse? Believing in a God or being offended by a God that doesn't exist?

Atheists that aren't the type 3 atheists understand that when someone "preaches" to them, within reason of course, they are, in their mind, trying to save their soul. Why shouldn't the atheist be flattered and respectfully decline to engage?

Question #17:

No motivation for school because of a love fixation?

I'm in my final years at high school and have no motivation for school because of this crush i have developed for another friend of mine. But whats worse is that he all of a sudden never comes to school anymore and it kinda makes me unhappy just not seeing him. I tried texting him once but his mobile has been canceled or something and we dont talk on facebook anymore because he never goes on anymore. Nobody at school knows what happened to him. I guess you can kinda say that he was my motivation for going to school, but now that he is gone i cant seem to concentrate, not only that but he was also one of my only friends (i dont have much).

What should I do in this situation? I know my school work should take priority, and it does but I cant help but to wonder what happened to him.
I actually lost all communication with him

Question #18:

Healthy eating Plan????... Helppppppppp?

8 stone..

Ive recently been down to how i look, skin texture, and weight ( only my hips though) IM NOT LOOKING TO LOOSE WEIGHT before you shoot me for saying that lol.

I eat Too much Chocolate at least two bars a day.. I rarely eat vegetables or fruit..Well i do buy a bunch off bananas lol..Or meat mainly i just eat pasta and the wrong foods i do eat more that pasta !

So i have decided to chuck all the biscuits out, didn't buy sugar for my cuppas..joined a gym and deal with becoming more healthy!!!

On a serious not though i wondered if someone could look at my plan for a week and see if its ok i do live on my own and i reckon its the motivation off just cooking for one..and the expense i know money is not important when it comes to ones health but i need to be realistic

BREAKFAST porridge. banana . tea with no sugar..

Lunch - Egg filling , breakfast bar . Carrot slices

Dinner. Pasta? Joke help me guyssss!!!! lol i know im not being varied with my daily nutrition lol!

Question #19:

Sorry i know your not my dietician?

Question #20:

What would be the best way for me to lose weight and motivate myself?

Hello. I'm new to the dieting scene. For the past couple of months, I have decided to make a complete 180 in my life foodwise. Before I started, i weighed 260 maybe. But recently, i have made it to 240.

I no longer drink soda or tea (a little if the tea's unsweet..ugh...). I hardly drink juice anymore. Whenever i'm thirsty, i grab for a cup of water. I already loved vegetables, but i eat them even more and i consume meats less. I hardly eat junk anymore as well. Chocolate once in a while.

My problem is.... I lack motivation. I had been using DDR as my exercise. I think it works because it's still tiring for me on Easy mode (love it to death...but i'm easily tired). But also recently i've been "forgetting" to do it. And the more i put it off, the more i think i'm losing sight of my goal of being near 200 again. It's not like I have anything else to do. It's just that i have a history of losing motivation with anything that i was doing myself. That and major procrastination that needs to go away.

I don't have the money to do group exercises, and the friend that is willing to exercise with me can only do so much on his end as well. I expected this to be hard, but i forget how unsupportive my family can be. I hate being a group kinda person.

What I need is advice on how to get up and go myself. And better ways to lose weight. I don't own exercise equipment. I tried to look for a question similar to mine before i asked this, but i couldn't find one. True advice would be most appreciated! Thanks :)
Whoops I forgot my age xD I'm 19 and trying to better my life. It's not something someone's making me do, it's something I wanted to do...but i'm having a hard time getting off my right foot (the first step) and moving my left (the next step) so i can take off running.
