You might not be asking for attention, but you're going to get some.

Normally I wouldn't address people in this way, but I'm making this an exception for your own good yeah :).

Firstly, of course you're not useless. Useless people end up in prison, or become tramps, so stop talking dick about yourself. Unless you see the positives in yourself, (almost everybody has some), you will never be more of a person, you are certainly capable of being.

So you're a bit slow on a course, doesn't matter. You can get there, if you believe you can. Unless it's run by crappy tutors, that can't do much more than teach people to spell their own name, well then you might have issues, otherwise you're potentially creating issues you don't need, so just stop it man okay.

Yes your parents might be doing something to limit your good food intake, but things take time. If you keep putting the right kind of effort in where you can, you'll increase your chances of doing well.

The buck stops with you fella. Parents might not necessarily be helping much for whatever reason, but then you evaluate and adapt the situation accordingly, to suit your needs as much as can be.

You need to start realising, the person you are is worth something, not just to others, but to yourself, or you'll end up some kind of deadhead alcoholic or someone like that, with no friends and a whole world of problems.

You aren't yet a man, but you need to be more of a man about your whole situation here, because yammering on about parents do this, no part time job, crap course, etc etc, just allows the problems to affect you more emotionally, so stop doing that alright.

If you use the attitude of yes, these things happen, but am I going to let them mess things up for me, hell no, you'll be better off in the long-term.

There's NOTHING wrong with you. Heck there's nothing wrong with Emo's, to the extent that Emo's should have that lifestyle choice. Regardless of what they think, their issues are in their head mainly, I'll bet 99% that's true.

Sure some circumstances cultivate negative thinking, but the person who talks as if these things are a hurdle or obstacle to overcome, are the ones who most often will.

I've known of people who end up 40, or even younger with no parents. Most people could expect to reach at least 50 years old, before losing one parent. For people who suffer things they shouldn't have to, thery could be bitter, and become angry with life, or more hateful to others, but many don't, they simply look at the best of what's left in life, and use those things to promote positive feelings and situations in their life.

Bad stuff in life, might feel bad and sticks in your head for years and years, but at least it serves as a reminder, not to end up in that situation again, if you can avoid it, so some positive does come out of a lot of bad stuff.

Until you start seeing yourself, and the world around you in a more positive light, you'll continue to use every little thing to beat yourself with and feel crappy.

Take more control, be more of the person you can and deserve to be, and stop acting like some little kid, who's best friend has a better bike, your parents can't afford. Someone who has positive things in life, but overshadows it with bad thoughts and words.

Remind yourself what sort of person you can be. A decent guy with a pretty decent life. You're not a worthless bum that no one cares about, so wake up and see the sun in the sky man and stop living under a damn cloud yeah.

You CAN do this, and you CAN make it work, but how much do you want it, and what CAN and WILL you do to make that happen?

Day 127

Breakfast - Shreaded wheat.

Lunch - 2 slices toast with peanut butter, can of ravoli in tomato sauce, 350 calories, 12g protein.

Pear

Dinner - Toad in the hole with 3 and a 1/2 sausages, mash peas. I asked my mum what the toad in the hole was made up of and she said eggs, milk and flour.

Went to do excercise but stopped after 5mins, i get chill blaines possibly where i get hot from excercising but i lose the urge after a few mins and don't want to continue, im not sure why but i don't get the feeling oh im going to do cardio soon, it's like ive lost any intrest i have for it.

Been drinking more coffees/teas lately where it's cold, is this bad?

Day 128

Breakfast shreaded wheat :D

Slice of bread with peanut butter around 11:30am.

Lunch 2 slices of toast with peanut butter 4 boiled eggs, 1 whole egg, rest whites.

Grrr this fat is still around my belly making it look like im fat wen i lift my top up and preventing my 6 pack i dont know if it's a different type of fat where im not really that fat like skinny fat but it still hasn't gone in over 4 months!

Mum came home with a bunch of halloween sweets, it's so annoying not being able to eat any, why does all the good tasting stuff have to be so bad for you damn i wish i could have some.

Another thing is i might not be able to do weight training today as the area where my weights are is being plastered, so i may do the cardio instead thing is it's getting boring is there anything else i could do which is good for me, ive had alot of spare time lately and it seems a waste not using it to make myself better, usually i would listen 2 my ipod while cycling as it lasts for about 40-50min but when cycling fast there isnt much point trying to listen 2 music.

coffee and tea are not as bad as the things they are loaded with. If you put sugar and cream, you are adding sugar and saturated fat.

As far as i know there is only one kind of fat... are you sure the "fat" around your stomach is fat or could it be skin?

If you're tired of cycling you could run, hike, swim, find some friends to play a sport, jump rope, do some plyometrics... get creative my friend. Why can't you listen to music when you do fast cardio? The faster my music the faster I tend to do my cardio.

Halloween treats... Its a choice you have to make Martin. You continually complain about your body. If you truly want to change your body and meet your goals you will ignore the crap and stick to healthy foods. I know it sucks. I haven't been able to have ANY junk food for 6 months now. However, as a result of my hard work i have a body that I'm proud of and I can look in the mirror and know that i've given it my best, i've met my goals, and i'm proud of myself for my progress. Its been hard work and there have been days that I really wanted to just throw in the towel. However I didn't and as I result I can look in the mirror and truly like what I see. Not only that, but my self esteem has improved and I feel so much better about myself than i did 6 months ago. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself for not being able to have the halloween candy, try feeling proud of yourself for knowing that you don't need that crap in your body. Nothing tastes as good as being in shape feels. NOTHING. You can eat halloween candy until you're sick and afterwards you'll only feel bad about yourself. Skip the candy and have a healthy balanced meal. I guarantee you'll feel better, both mentally and physically, afterwards and you'll be one step closer to meeting your goal.

Thanks Cassie, before i started this routine my mum and brother said it was just excess skin, i don't see how as u get that from losing loads of weight? Ive never been obese. But it just wont budge and is annoying me now. Im starting to think if it's even possible for it to go, same with the top of my legs when i sit down and move them from the position there in theres some fat there that looks like jelly, disgusting.

Dinner ive eaten spaghetti, oven baked chips fish in batter, however i took the batter off. What should i do i could do weights but it's dark and cold outside, however it could still be done, or i could do cardio, and as for not listenin to music, where i get hot out of breath and sweaty cycling fast and listenin 2 music in my ear with 1 ipod piece workin isnt too good lol.

That fine Martin. Just take your pull up bar to your room and do some pull ups, chin ups, pushups, squat jumps, jumping jacks, jumping lunges, jumping jacks. You could even take the dumbells to your room and do some exercises with those.

I really need heavier dumbbell weights also a treadmil machine would be great as i don't think id get bored of that, still can't afford that. Anyway did 30mins cardio, 1min goin fast 1min stop, for going fast i tried to keep my speed above 30 dont know what it's measured in but yeah, tried my best in terms of catching my breath and all lol. Says i burned 600 calories? Highly doubt that though.

Although ive done cardio i seem to keep picking at sweets when i come across them, the sooner their gone the better!
:twisted:

Perhaps i picked at to many sweets, i hate the feeling of putting my palm on the bottom of my stomach (belly) and it feeling fat, been like this not just today though :cry:

Day 129

Breakfast shreaded wheat and a coffee.

Hopefully do some weights soon.

Lunch - 4 boiled eggs 2 whites 2 hole, reason 2 hole is because they ddn't come out too well, 2 slices of bread with peanut butter.

Workout, 27kg weight, 4 sets of military press i think it was 6 reps, 7,7,8

Tried shoulder press but found this alot harder and actually dropped the bar on my neck bone, could of been alot worse than what it was, did like 2 sets reps of 4-5.

Curls, 6 reps,7,7,8 i believe.

Rows- 3 sets reps of 6, couldn't get the barbell above my nipples, don't know if im not supposed to though as i can only go as far as my arms will let me.

squats 1 set of 20 reps

Deadlift 31.6kg weight 2 sets reps 10

Bench press 5 sets reps 10.

My energy wasn't as good coming to the end of the workout (bench press) would it be better to do like purely bench pressing on one day or is this routine good?

3:45pm, slice of bread with peanut butter.

Dinner - Spaghetti Bolognse

When hungry been snacking on slice of bread + peanut butter, is bread really that bad? I think it's alright? Carbs, bit of protein, peanut butter, protein + healthy fat.

Sooner the halloween sweets are disposed of the better :P

Day 130

Breakfast - shreaded wheat and a coffee.

Lunch - grilled bacon sandwich.

Did 30mins cardio, and actually feel good, wasn't as much as a struggle as the other days, which is great, just hope it pays off. It says i burned 607 calories and did 13.2 miles, now, what do you think, is that accurate? Or way off?

However my right foot, always seems to be right side, hand , arms etc that get effected, is aching a bit between the top of my foot where it bends, it's like a tingle feeling, hopefully it'll pass.

Bread with peanut butter.

Dinner, parents got a chinese takeaway, had a small bowl of sweetcorn and chicken soup, don't know what to do about dinner, not much here, however i don't want to end up eating the chinese if its loaded with fat and a chance of making me ill.

Well there is subcutaneous below the skin, then Viscerol around the organs, Cholesterol of course and also Myelin that sheathes and protects the nervous system, and another type of Fat recently discoverd to be in adults, not just children, is Brown Fat, a strange type of Fat as it contains Mitochondria, the energy storing cells in muscle.

Previously thought to dissapear during childhood, Swedish scientists, discovered significant enough amounts in adults, that could potentially lipolysise subcutaenous, but as yet, nobody has isolated specific triggers for Brown Fat, alledgedly when they do, you will be able to take some kind of pills to trigger it.

I'm probably waffling a bit :wink:

I would suggest if it's not however subcutaneous around the area, it could be retained water, which might mean a small reduction is Sodium would be beneficial.
