How to not become a total sack of lard sitting at an office job?

[zollo]

Me if I don't get my shit figured out

I'm planning on going into a field that requires a lot of sitting 7 days a week basically non stop, Standing desks don't sound great because I'll be drawing on slated surfaces which is harder to do when you're standing. I just need a better way to stay healthy BUT also be able to crank out the same amount of work. I absolutely loath exercising outside because I live in Texas AKA the hottest place in Hell because of the humidity, I also don't like exercising in general because you really have to go ham and get your heart pumping to loose weight. I tried for almost 2 years to exercise lightly every single day but it did absolutely nothing and apparently the only way you can loose weight is to really get your heart beating and your face all red and sweaty. I don't own a treadmill and i'm not buying one. Can I just DIY cut all my fat off? Thanks.

Fellow Texan, I've found exercising outside (at least in summer) is actually not that bad when it's early morning. I don't know your hours specifically, but if you do a run or bike ride outside, anytime before probably about 9 or 10am, it's pretty cool. In other seasons, you can start later as you might expect. You can also get it even cooler if you go to a local park and go through the nature paths. Those provide more shade, and it is also cooler generally + more interesting given the terrain. If that isn't an option, there are also gyms you can get a membership for. Exercising in local pools is also an option if the heat bothers you.

The other part is adjusting eating habits to match your lifestyle. In other words, eat less high caloric meals and/or be more moderate in your portions.

You gotta eat like a bird. Working out really wouldn’t hurt either.

What does that even mean.

[PrincessGrail]

Lots of salads

I think you mean eat like a rabbit, they eat lots of vegetables and very low amounts of sugar and obviously no meat.
