You need to try and find balance with work , or maybe consider options. Life’s to short

“Fun girls” are overrated. Give me a career woman any day.

Define boring? My partner and I talk about career, helping our aging parents, FIRE (me more than him). We laugh at farting jokes and puppy videos. I love our boring life. You are more interesting than you give yourself credit for. Boring can be good.

I feel similar but about dating girls. They’re just so more extroverted than me, going out every weekend with friends, etc. I’m just more of a homebody

Diagnosed depression, anxiety & PTSD. Some days are better than others but lately it’s been more bad days than good days. I’m trying my hardest to stay in the fight. How do you all hold on? It doesn’t help that I live alone and 8 hours away from my immediate family.

So I posted a bit ago about getting IV hydration and vitamins. You guys gave me the courage to try it. After I had it done, I didn't feel much of a difference and figured I just spent a bunch of $ to relax for an hour in a massage chair. 🤷🏼‍♀️ But this has been the best week I've had energy-wise in the last seven months. And I kind of wish I could post before/after pics because apparently I was very bloated. I've been focusing on keeping up with my hydration at home. Thx ladies!

I'm 11kg overweight for my height with a BMI of around 28.5. I'm hiking, walking up various peaks and ensuring that I get my heart racing the past 3 days. In some muddy/slippery places, I put weight on my left leg to prevent a 60 ft drop, knee took a lot of impact. Pity that attempting to be more active also leads to injury.

What do you recommend, a diet using the calorie deficit method? Looking to go back to gym, hit the heavy bag & lift weights from Monday.

I figured it out. The data scientist wants to be a Chief (not THE Chief, because bowls have multiple Chiefs), so he posts wacky clickbait that we all respond to, which helps him level up faster.
