What's the best way to get rid of a beer belly?

Yeah. Vodka has calories, but no carbs, hence why it meshes with a keto diet.

In order to get drunk enough to become drowsy and fall asleep, I have to generally drink about 18 oz of it a day. That's about 510 calories.

You need to stop with vodka, it's become a crutch. If you can't sleep, then you're not exhausted enough. Go do a full day of physical work until you can't keep your eyes open, volunteer at a construction yard or farm or something and just work until you can't help but fall asleep as soon as you're in bed.

I guess I just answered my own question. I need to make sure I burn more than 510 calories per day in order to have a net loss and thus lose weight.

Thanks everyone. Show's over. Time to go home.

My biggest issue is that I basically take care of a family member as my job. My grandma had a stroke and can't be left alone, so I spend practically half my day with her every day to make sure she doesn't get into trouble.

We can't afford a nurse to stay with her, and even if we could, my grandma has enough sense of mind to absolutely refuse anyone that isn't family.

Alright bro, long time insomniac here. I'll tell you my experiences and maybe you can apply them to yourself.

>be me
>insomniac since a child developed a fear of sleep
>this carried on to my later years and I always had trouble falling asleep especially in times of stress
>never too serious, could always sleep at least 6 hours
>I start going to university and I get the worst insomnia episode of my life
>can't fall asleep lying in bed every night
>at first get 5 hours of sleep
>then 4
>then 3
>before I know it I'm sleeping 2-3 hours every night while having to go to uni
>this goes on for four months and I start getting hallucinations and full body spasms, vomiting

I have never been closer to killing myself during that time, but I've fixed my sleep and now I sleep decently even during stressful periods, here's what you do:

• Look into cognitive behavioural therapy, basically when you're lying in bed tossing and turning for 30 minutes you don't stay in bed, but get up and start reading or doing something that will make you drowsy. Then you get back into bed and try to sleep again. If you can't fall asleep repeat the steps until you do.

• Meditation might help you, check out the Headspace app, it's great for guided meditation

• Don't look at electronic screens an hour before bed, it prevents melatonin synthesis. If you must, install blue light filter software, it's free and available on nearly all platforms

• Get up early in the morning and expose yourself to blue light (the sky). Try to do cardio outside in the morning. This will fix your cortisol/melatonin rhytm so that you feel awake in the morning and tired at night.

• If nothing else works, try pills. I've used ambien and it works most of the time, just don't make taking it a habit because you will form a dependancy

• Cut out caffeine and alcohol entirely

• Figure out what's bothering you mentally

Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated.

I never took ambien but over the counter meds either didn't work, or worked so well that I couldn't function in the morning when I woke up (aka I was stumbling all over the fucking place being drowsy as fuck). At least while drunk I could still function.

However I'll look into the other stuff like cognitive behavioural therapy.

Excuses excuses excuses you alcoholic faggot.

The gyno is from the booze.

The belly is probably not. Not enough calories in it. Control your diet.

I've had gyno since I was 13. It has nothing to do with booze. I also have a puffy venus mons, which is related to the gyno.

I know it's hard for people who don't have it to understand, but it's really fucking embarassing, and feels abnormal as fuck. I feel insecure as shit when I go out in public because of how obvious it is.

Trans people feel this way because they aren't the gender they perceive themselves to be. Imagine the opposite, where a male appears less masculine than they should because they have fucking tits. It's soul-crushing.

>insomniac since a child developed a fear of sleep
Simillar here, tough I don't think it's a full blown insomnia just unhealthy lifestyle choices, and no reason to get up early.
But why the heck does that happen? I don't remember why I am afraid of going to sleep.

OP here. I'm not "afraid" of going to sleep. It's more the fact that I could be doing other things than sleeping, and so that line of thought prevents me from going to sleep, as though I'm wasting my time by sleeping when I could be doing other things.

This line of thought has led me to stay awake for almost 36 hours and then eventually pass out from exhaustion, however in terms of normie schedules, it fucks with my day-to-day activities.

If I'm being honest, I'd say that my biological clock was more suited to a 36 hour daily cycle rather than a 24 hour cycle. Being awake for 24 hours and then sleeping for 12 hours sounds about right for me.

>sense of mind
>tribalistically rejects ppl cus mug family and rejecting professionals

Why?

What? Explain.

I don't get it.

Ex alcoholic
That's not true, you can sleep, you just sleep less sober because normal people don't sleep 11 hours a day
Quit drinking every day

Well, okay, part of the issue is that every 20 minutes or so, I wake up and have to readjust myself so that I'm comfortable. If I stay in one position for longer than that, I end being in physical pain. This seriously fucks with my sleep.

In that case, better not do anything about it!
