Too tired to exercise, gaining weight, stressed out :(?

[Anonymous]

I graduated a while ago and I'm working 14-15 hours a day.. I don't really have a free time. I'm tired and exhausted all the time. Even when I had some time on Sundays I'm so tired I can't make myself to work out.

I've started to eat unhealthy sugary snacks because I don't have time for proper meals. I know this is really really bad but I'm not able to change this! I have gained so much weight since starting this job (under a year) that I'm considered Obese Class II. I'm worried about my health, and obviously this is affecting my looks, too. I'm just so tired i don't know what to do :( basically my life is just work and sleeping. I don't have time to see my friends, go shopping... Sundays I don't usually work but I can't get my mind off ever!

Obviously your job is affecting your life, outside of work. Health wise and social. Are you starting to resent your job because of this? If you stay with your job. Is there room for advancement or a change of work hours/schedule?

If you are not happy may really want to start looking for another job. But don't quit unless you have a new one. I know you don't have a lot of time but most places will accept resumes via e-mail.

I don't see a question are you just venting? The best way to gain energy is too sleep more which means you would need to cut back on working so many hours that your not so burned out and want to sit or sleep all Sunday. Also on Sundays it would be good to cook a couple meals for during the week so when you get home you can have that.

Eat more times in a day, but eat lesser quantity. Say, about 5 times a day. Your gauranteed to loose weight. By eating more times in a day you keep your system running, which in turn helps consume energy. Eventually you will loose weight. Trust me. It works. I've done it before. Also, if you can't work out, try sports. Swimming burns a lot of calories, and its relaxing at the same time.

Is there any chance you can cut back on your job? If not, it's mostly about changing your bad habits and you do need to find a motivation.
