You should take the gas station job for 700 a week for now.
Don't get too worried about your bmi of 30. Just make small decisions every day about what you eat and move your body. Really, it is as simple as, you used to get a bacon cheeseburger combo for lunch, now just get the burger forget the fries. Park in the farther away spot when you go to the store. All these small decisions will add up to your success (or failure). It's a lifestyle realignment, if you do anything too drastic you're likely to fail. I never understood why people "went on a diet." Ok, so when you completed the diet, you go back to eating a bucket of chicken and wash it down with a 2L of coca cola and wonder why you shot right back up and usually beyond where you started? Maybe put the 600 pounders show on TV and think you're just fine since you passed on the large pizza as an appetizer or a cheesecake for desert? Cool.
If it makes you feel any better I am 5'7" 220. I topped out at 250 a few years ago and have been up and down since. When I put my mind to it (got my heart ripped out but that's another story) my brain switched gears and I worked out like crazy and ate almost nothing, quickly dropping to 177. Well guess what I got over it and ate my way back up to where I am now. I realize it's unhealthy, it's how I am. I get by just fine, most days. Life ain't perfect and if that's what you need it to be then you're never going to be happy. Again-to each their own. Today =Another Canadian driver and Rahat Thank this. -

Most medical offices do not take the BP correctly, To start off hey are suppose to let you have a relax period of 15 minuttes to start with, the room should be comfortible not cold, both feet on the floor, not asking you questions during, cuff over bare skin and fit you properly. If your big you need a Large or Extra large cuff. My doctor does not tkae BP, I do that at home, unless theres a problem. But he is not the one whom does my DOT. I use a Chiro in Palmdale near the DMV for that.

Get the job and walk everyday, you won’t regret it. It’s good for you mind as you have the time for yourself and good for your health. You can’t go wrong with walking, and when you get your trucking job continue to stay active. April will be 16 years for me and I’m 6’ 185lbs tire loads baby haha.

This is also true for background levels of Depression/Happiness. Yes meditation will help, but all youre doing is temporarily moving the needle. Some peoples depression or anxiety is at such a high level that medication is actually required to function.
The problem is that the setpoint is somewhat genetic, and somewhat epigenetic, that is to say partially unchangeable, and partially ingrained by upbringing. The plasticity for quite a bit of that is gone by puberty, SOME efforts made before the mid-20s will at least give better coping mechanisms, but without life-threatening situations, the brain is incapable of changing the way the neuronal network has been formed. Thats why it takes "rock bottom" for addicts etc to get into any kind of real recovery.Another Canadian driver, Rahat and Diesel Dave Thank this. -
