Fat distribution is genetic. It is in your genes and in most men’s genes to store extra energy ( calories ) in the abdomen first and to utilize extra energy stored in the abdomen last. No matter the diet or the regime, excess weight is lost the same way: by expending more energy than is take in. Only the dietary schemes, healthfulness, and sustainability vary. Energy used must be > energy taken in. Food diary sites like cronometer.com are extremely useful for tracking your energy AND NUTRIENT intake. You don’t need to go to a gym to exercise, but you will thank yourself in the future if you do it and do enough. Exercise plays a huge part in maintaining your basic faculties, mobility, and mental acuity. Those are the facts. Decide what you want. Your body, your choice.

My father told everyone that hes glad my sister is smart at least, since Im a failure. Is there any point in confronting? Yes. You will be able to tell yourself you stood up for yourself. When you get the opportunity consider therapy and limit your contact with your father unless he improves the way he talks about you.

Didn’t vent your spleen enough with this thread? https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditForGrownups/comments/1k6byqf/watching_news_doesnt_mean_you_care_about_other/ I get in pissy moods too. Do yourself a favor and go do something that makes you happy. Kill the mood.

/u/IvoTailefer instead of making posts like this face whatever is making you unhappy and do what you can to solve it. Be kind to yourself.

Honestly, none. They were dysfunctional parents and people. I feel I already have the good qualities they had and I would be better off having fewer of their bad qualities.

/u/Aroshia17 It has always been tough to get started in a profession right after college. These days it is worse and many 20 somethings live with their parents until they can get their lives launched. Having said that it is actually like that old saying “their house, their rules”. If you mother wants you to look for work while staying there, then look for work. You wrote that you have savings. Why not take a few months off and travel? Trips longer than 2 weeks will be much more difficult once you are committed to a job. It isn’t unheard of for college students to travel after graduation. People asking about the time gap between graduation and applying to a job on your resume will accept traveling after college as a reason.

My brother by law is a pediatrician. He is always catching things. Great guy, I am concerned it might shorten his life.
