I'm overweight, my hair is falling out, I have poor posture, and my teeth need some work. Needless to say, my self confidence is at rock bottom. I want to fix all of these problems and get my self esteem up to normal, but what are the first steps? How should I start?

go to /fit/ and read the sticky. Do what it says. That will help with the weight and somewhat with the posture.

First step should be exercising regularly. Ideally lifting to a decent program. The reason for this is that exercise feels good and gives you more energy and confidence, just kind of on a chemical level. It's usually the thing that gets the ball rolling for everything else. Weight loss of course also depends on diet, but worry about that when you've got a solid month of exercise in. Lifting will also help fix your posture, though you may want to seek a more granular explanation on how by looking up "forward head posture" and "upper cross syndrome" on Google. See a dentist for your teeth.
Of course self esteem is entirely a state of mind, and you should remember that when the time comes to appreciate your progress. However, it's a lot easier when you have concrete improvements to be proud of.

One step at a time. Take that list of stuff that bothers you about yourself, and do one thing until you're happy with the results, and then move onto the next thing, and so forth.
But, one at a time. Start simple, and then build up. GL

So I've been dating this girl for about 3 weeks now and am totally in love with her because we share practically all of the same interests.
The only problem is that I'm pretty sure she's like a direct descendent of Leonardo da Vinci and Mona Lisa (she kind of looks it too) because she is absolutely stellar at literally everything she does.
And I'm not saying that through love goggles; she's fucking brilliant, and it kind of makes me sick.
She completely dominates me in all of my 'skills', even the two things I champion myself in.
And the things that I'm bad at (maths and the like), she maintains straight As.
She's just really fucking good at everything she does, and I have yet to find a fault.
Usually this kind of thing is a major turn off for me, but something about her makes me want to apply myself more and see if I can catch her wave.
I feel like I'm putting up a facade when I'm around her. Not that I haven't been being myself but like- I don't understand why she likes me. I'm convinced she thinks I'm someone else.
She seems to be really into me too, which adds to my confusion.
Has anyone had to deal with anything similar?
Did it result in you becoming a better person, or the partner dumping you because you were inadequate?

Have you told her about this? Maybe you can take advantage on this situation and improve yourself. The chances you are dating a genius are low but if you are doing so enjoy it and be happy man.

Bars honestly. I love going after milfs because everyone else is going for college bimbos and milfs love that blue collar dicking

Anywhere where you can meet MILF'S. Bars, shops, in the street etc. Nothing is stopping you from approaching a MILF and hitting her up except yourself.

Park ranger maybe? Most jobs in the wilderness are pretty asocial, because it's the wilderness.
There's probably some shit like surveying or natural gas exploration too that's fairly solitary and in remote areas.
How do I tell my girlfriend her lack of confidence is a huge turn off. She has put on a few pounds since we first started dating and now she won't send me any pictures of herself sexual or not. Says she not comfortable where she's at and gets defensive if it even sounds like I'm asking. I love the way she looks, skinny or with a few pounds

It recently occurred to me that i haven't read a book in my free time in over a year. Since i started going to university i've only read textbooks or bonus literature for exams.
I'm a slow reader, i tend to take breaks and think about what i've read, and i find my self regressing quite a bit.
Going into my 3rd semester i feel confident in my ability to organize studying. I feel like i should organize my free time as well, rather than waste hours browsing 4chan and watching youtube videos.
I also have a backlog of books i want to read, various genres, classics, fantasy, books somewhat related to my field of study etc...
Any tips on reading faster? I mean, i'll probably get faster with more practice, but i think getting faster at reading will be very beneficial. I also want to cut regression.
My goal is to start reading 1 book per week in my free time. Maybe increase it as i go, idk.
Think i might turn off my modem, make some coffee/tea (whichever i feel like drinking) and read.
Will playing some classical music on low volume help? If so, what would you recommend i download, any particular pieces good for concentration?

I listen to classical music to do homework, read etc, its extremely relaxing.
The way your eyes look at the beginning of a line is innefficient, try to make it so your left eye just barely sees the beginning of the left side of a new line. Also paraphrase the end of aa line, grazing quickly looking at it, or using your brain to fill in the rest while continuing to the next line, if it is something predictable.

>>17651126
I never liked reading books,so I wouldn't force myself now to start reading. Reading 4chan,watching videos on YouTube or better watching movies/series online is much more entertaining.
>>
>>17651142
I liked reading books, but i was just gradually reading less since i was 14/15. This year i haven't read anything because i had a lot to study so reading was the last thing on my mind once i was done with exams.

Thanks, the first part seems easy enough, i'll try the second part as well.

I snapped at my girlfriend a few times this week and feel horrible. Some mean things were said to her. Nothing irredeemable, but unkind and out of character for a relationship that is in its 3rd year without a major fight (until now).
Things have cooled down a little bit she is still understandably (although she won't say it). It's been a very stressful week for me so she understood why I was in this mood.
Has anyone ever gone through this before? I feel absolutely horrible. Is there something I can do to really cheer her up. Already getting her flowers but maybe something more personal that isn't just buying a cop-out gift

What did you guys argue about and how old are you guys?
>>
>>17651134
Sorry for the late response. We're in our late 20s. I felt that she was not pulling her weight around the house. We argued the night before and simmered down. The next day she told me she was going out for the evening with her sister and I was upset because it felt like our discussion from the previous night was ignored
>>
>>17651289
No, don't buy her flowers or do anything as an apology. If you made a point of something that annoys you and she's choosing not to listen or change, don't give in. Stand your ground and show her that you won't give in.

So there's this girl I like. I've only seen and talk to her at parties. I don't know if and how I should try something. I'll probably end up rejected since I'm a recovering fatty and thus ugly.
I've been obsessed about that for weeks now. What should I do ?

Hi /adv/. My 49 year old dad just suffered a mini-stoke, and it was a real wake up call for me. I'm worried that I might be stuck caring for him if he would ever suffer a real stoke. I'm the oldest of 2 kids, and my brother is in the military/out of state. I have suffered from depression my entire life, and now, at 24, I finally am getting it back, I have an apartment, have a college lined up, and had plans to move out of state or to a different city.
The thought of being trapped in a small town that I absolutely hate, forced to sacrifice my life and dreams to take care of and possibly life with my dad for the rest of his life terrifies me. I wouldn't be able to live my own life, I probably wouldn't be able to date or marry, or vacation or do anything. I love my dad, but the possibility that the future could turn into something that I would only describe as my personal hell is a very real possibility at this point.
Any advice on this?

let him die

>>17651014
Talk to him about working with him to move out of there. I hope he's open to the idea. Regardless, I helped my dad recover from his TIA and high blood pressure by convincing him to go vegan, feeding him 10 cloves of raw garlic in boiled cabbage per day, plus 20 hawthorn and 20 valerian capsules per day, plus about 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper per day. That got him over the hump and now he takes the hawthorn, garlic, and cayenne to taste only. I have also heard passionflower lowers blood pressure. These remedies worked, and they worked within two weeks. The brain fog cleared up and he went back to work. Seriously though, put him on a vegan diet if you do nothing else. With B12 supplements.

Hello, anon I...

I feel like this guy every fucking day and have felt like this guy for the past 5 years. I'm in recovery from rocky mountain spotted fever but it just isn't going fast enough, I'm stuck inside all day and can't work, and the worst part is I'm in Kansas. What can I do to get better faster, in order to get the fuck out of dodge?

Thank you kind anon. It wouldn't be as much of a problem if it was all just physical but I have lingering mental issues from all that since it was diagnosed late. I can't think straight most of the time and don't know what to do about fixing up my body so it doesn't pull this stupid shit on me anymore.

How do I convince my friend to stop playing guitar/singing so he can focus on getting a career while he's in college?
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0kgkvxbBU2G
He sounds like a terminally autistic potato. I've been telling him in nicer ways but one day I just outright told him he's never gonna make it. Instead of focusing on his exams for next week he keeps making small clips and jamming to blues backtracks. How do I stop autism? I know someone here must have a cure.
Lets be realistic here, we both know he wont make it as an artist anywhere. I just want him to focus on biology, stick to his guns. Kids bright, he submitted something about an antibiotic research proposal at the age of 16 and it got him into college a year early.

Should probably mention a few things:
1> he has some sort of psychiatric condition he wont tell anyone about, but he's heavily medicated according to his parents
2> he dropped out of college at 17 because of the condition and worked his way back in at 19
3> he is now 20 and I don't want him working as a night time security guard.
>>
Anyone at all?
>>
>>17650974
He's really not horrible at guitar but everyone's gotta have a hobby man.
Besides advising him that he should keep music as a hobby you can't really force him to do anything, in the end if he feels strongly enough he'll do what he wants

Honestly, it depends which one you have more of an aptitude and interest in. For instance 'soft' degrees are considered useless, but then you get people like Louis Theroux who use them to bring social issues to light.
Anything that is considered edible and lives in water - fish, mussels, crabs, crustaceans, even those weird sushi leaves - my gag reflex kicks in. It all tastes the same to me, that is fish. It literally makes me puke.
My wife loves eating fish and she does not eat meat (for ecological reasons, I think it's bullshit, whatever). This usually doesn't cause problems, but I've never given my aversion to seafood any thought until I met her. Since I'm from a landlocked country, seafood's never been on the menu anyway.
Are there any other people who experience this?

Have you tried salmon? It's fucking good and great for you
Breaded tilapia is basically chicken tendies if you're scared
Oysters, mussels, clams are disgusting though I understand that
GOOD SUSHI is different from shitty sushi, fyi.
