...See more Most people have heard that using the internet can lead to issues and even dependency. Anything can be harmful if used incorrectly or excessively. There are some good sides to the internet as well though. Internet use may be associated with higher levels of life satisfaction, better self-reported health, and fewer symptoms of depression among adults aged over 50 in 23 countries, suggests a study published [https://doi.org/10.1038/s41562-024-02048-7] in Nature Human Behaviour. * Excerpt MedicalXpress [https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-11-internet-access-adults.html] Internet use [https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5877025/] has a positive association with mental well-being among retired Americans aged 50 or older, as it reduces isolation and the probability of depression very significantly. Participation question: In what ways are you using the internet? How does it improve your well-being?

If you have serious, long-term problems with negative thinking and feeling depressed, see your doctor or talk to a therapist if they are related to any mental challenges.

Food choices, dieting, and any motivation to continue dieting?

Healthy Living / by Nate715

...See more hi everyone! whether you may or may not know me, i'm nate. by the time im posting this, its close to midnight, but just know i had a doctors appointment today, not the time im done finishing this which is 11/26. As you can tell, i had a doctors appointment today, and it wasn't a very good one. i'm in my teens, or i'm 13, and obese. not physically obese too much, just extra meat on the bones here and there, some being more then other places. I'm an extremely tall teen, 5'9 1/2 and so are my siblings, but they aren't as tall as me when i was their ages. so, i guess my height also helps with my body. and, i'm not gonna hide anything, i'm just going to say it straight up, i'm 2-4-2 lbs or 1-0-9.8 kg. every year i'd gain about 3-0 lbs but from ages 12-13 i really tried to cut down as much as possible, and i ended up gaining only 1-1 lbs i'm at risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and a stroke. along with that, my father is also obese and he recently ended up at the hospital for a blood clot. my mom's side of the family has a history with diabetes, which i assume its a higher risk to diabetes now that its passed down? if i'm correct? i have stretchmarks which cover 65-70% of my body and i learned to be confident in it :-) My doctor put me on a low/no carb diet, which is where the food choices and the dieting comes from, and it hurts, but after a couple hours, i think i might get used to it, restricting and stuff. so i ask, any motivation to continue dieting and what i should do and what not? my goal is to lose 9-2 lbs and i'm going as low as i can with the carbs, 10 and lower with breakfast, lunch, and dinner foods, and 20 carbs or less with snacks for now until i see a change in weight. really unfortunate since thanksgiving is right around the corner :( any recipes, motivation, and how many hours i should be walking a day? one way i'm motivating myself is knowing i'll lose weight and knowing theres tons of people who are doing a low carb diet too and its not just "fat" people, it can be anyone. plus, i get to go shopping to find and make tasty low carb meals for the next 3-4 months, which is what my doctor put me on and hopefully i'll lose 12-24 pounds :-) to any teen or adult who goes through the same thing, obesity, or health problems, just know your not alone and we can start our weight loss/getting back to good health journey together! i'll keep everyone updated once i go to the doctors again today (its 12am as i write this) to get a blood test, and hopefully theres nothing wrong. love yourself, and theres always a hope to change for the better of your future <3
