How do you stay healthy and keep a good diet and workout regime if you have a high stress job?
I started a new job a week ago, and since then my diet and lifts have gone to complete shit. I think I’m losing weight because I know I’m not eating enough. In the mornings, if I eat breakfast I shit it out like 30 minutes later. My appetite is all fucked up. I also haven’t worked out in a week.
I do lawncare 12 hour days usually. I gym friday saturday just to maintain some strength. As soon as it starts getting me good profit im going to eat better food over the winter

I’m a pilot, particularly i’m a Flight Instructor. So every single day i’m worried about a student killing me. Not only that, but my schedule is slam packed during the day, so sometimes I don’t even have time to eat lunch.
Jacob King
I work 10 hours and i get 3 hours on traffic everyday. I wakeup 5am to lift before work. I sleep at 9-10pm. Before start lifting my life was exactly like this minus the workout, so it gives me motivation to not hang myself. At least I do one more thing besides work and sleep.
Christian Cox
Can't you take over the controls if a student goes full retard? Or are you concerned about somebody who is determined and suicidal with a plan?
Jayden Powell
Yes. However, you’d be surprised on how many different ways things could go wrong to the point where I wouldn’t be able to do shit. I’m not worried about a student trying to German Wings me. But what I am worried about is if a student does something stupid and gets us into a unrecoverable situation. Today for example, I almost died earlier because a student turned the wrong way when I just had told him which direction to turn. He turned us right into oncoming traffic and would traffic warning was going off our ears.
Almost all of the other instructors smoke or drink because of stress. I’m trying to avoid both of those things
Colton Torres
You quit that shitty job and get one that isn't high stress.
I work in tech. If what I work on goes down, literally millions and millions of people will know it and I'll be a laughing stock. Yet what I do is ultimately useless. And you know what? Fuck that. I'm quitting. I don't need that shit. I saved a bunch of money and now I'm just going to NEET it up for a few months, lift, camp, read, and whatever else I want to do. Then I'll get a job that isn't stressful.
Aiden Barnes
I can’t quit. I just have to push through this for the next 2 years. Then i’ll be able to do my dream job
Kevin Perry
Well, you CAN quit. But you're saying you won't because you get something good in two years. What if those two years destroy your will to live? What if, after getting that thing in two years, you say, "well, in two more years, I'll get Y, so I'll stay just for two more years"? What if you start living at that standard, then the company lays you off in a year? What if you knock up some Tinder slut and she takes 75% of your income for child support? These are all real risks. Is the next two years worth it? Or can you start your dream job today, somehow?
Nicholas Wright
Because if I quit then I would have just thrown 3 years and $60k in the trash. >What if you start living at that standard, then the company lays you off in a year? Won’t happen. My industry is extremely short handed so that won’t happen >What if you knock up some Tinder slut and she takes 75% of your income for child support? >These are all real risks. Lol. That is not a real risk. I don’t have sex.

Jordan Kelly
The thing is I don’t want to get skinny fat from drinking. Plus, it’s just not healthy.
Carson Carter
Self bump.
I need advice. I feel really unhealthy right now and need some advice how I can get my nutrition back up, get back to the gym, and deal with stress
Evan Reed
>work in legal industry workout with bodyweight exercise, user. Do it in the morning before you go to work Push-up during lunch - break That's what I do
Lucas Kelly
yeah maybe i will try doing something like that in the mornings. The only thing is that I worry mostly about my nutrition. I'm a skinny guy, and stress kills my appetite. so i'm worried about losing weight through exercise if i can't eat right.
Joseph Miller
Quit stressful job. Been there done that.
David Gray
not happening. as i said earlier in the thread. I just need to push through this for the next 15-24 months
Working out takes an hour a day or split across days, nutrition is planning prepping and tracking If you work a high stress job you’re always built to deal with planning prepping tracking and being efficient you function in high stress environments. OP is roleplaying for fucking stupid
Cameron Price
Obviously my thread is about how to stay fit and eat right during periods of high stress. If you didn’t know, the human body reacts differently to stress for different people. Some people stress eat by stuffing themselves full of food constantly. For others, the body may reject food. I am in the latter
Camden Gomez
Take CBD to reduce stress
Blake Foster
eat during comparitively low stress periods and eat fast digesting foods.
also, try to reduce the stress you feel. you'll get used to this new job and after the initial shock is over and the dust has settled, you'll be able to manage things a little more effectively
