Lol it is kinda embarassing to post here, considering how I believe many problems arent truly problems at all. But doesnt matter, here it goes:

After my school year, I looked back and I saw nothing. Im pretty much a fat, lazy b****** with no friends. Im mediocre in school and I am a couch potato/computer geek. I knew sth gotta change.

I think these are my problems:

1) Computer - This darned invention always seems to lure me in and I lose the sense. Homework? Later. Revision? Can wait. I somehow need to stop my addiction so I can a normal life again.

2) No friends - Well, I am not shy, but the thing is I dont feel I am in any group of friends. I mean we have laughs and work together, but I dont truly feel Im their 'friend'. I dont even think they consider me friend. Many times have I seen them laugh and talk and I want to join them, but I just dont feel a part of them.

3) Unfit - I get stitches by walking 100m and I am sick of myself being a fat lump of meat.
Well, I already do more exercise. I try to run more (1 km) and I now can do 15 push-ups and 30 sit-ups (I know I suck but Im trying to improve) I also eat pretty unhealthily but I dont know any healthy food and stuff.

Summary:

Need help on: Stop computer addiction
Get more friends
choosing exercise to do and I just cant seem to go past what I can do (never can get past 15 push-ups)
Healthy diet

I know Im asking alot and no one is obliged to help. But if you do, I show my eternal gratitude.

THANK YOU!

yeah, try working out with someone- it'll make you feel more obligated to not slack off and it'll help to pace you.

my advice is to build it into a habit- and keep yourself motivated! usually you'll want to run and/or do your other exercises at the same time every day- that way it'll be harder to put it off until later. ;) for running, the trick is to start slow and gradually build yourself up. you won't be able to run for very long or very far when you first start, but eventually you'll be able to increase your workout. but it takes a hecka lot of work to really get into shape, and it's incredibly easy to backslide (trust me, i know!). gaining weight is so much easier than losing it. but i don't want to be discouraging, because it's really not that hard if you give it commitment.

-for exercising, running would be the easiest/most convenient. and also do some of the excellent exercises mentioned by vietboi916 above, either before or after your workout. or before you go to bed. or right after you get up. whenever, just make sure it's at the same time every day.

-here's the timing for when to do your running (or whatever you plan to do):
# Less than 1 hour for a snack of 200 or fewer calories
# 1 - 2 hours for a liquid meal (such as a liquid meal replacement or blended meal — a smoothie)
# 2 - 3 hours for a smaller sized meal: 200 - 400 calories
# 3 - 4 hours for a larger meal: over 500 calories
(http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/1915.html)

although i'm betting that's probably an overestimate.. i've run 45 min. after having a moderately sized meal without any problems. i'd say usually wait at least an hour // hour and a half after dinner before running, just to be safe.
